News Roundup

Keeping it short and sweet, like Salma Hayek.


and if one of my children ever did this to me, they could expect to see their car firebombed or towed.  Which is why they wouldn’t do it.


as are we all.  These pathetic accommodationists make Neville Chamberlain look like Attila The Hun.


I report, you decide.


hey, “Reverend”:  waddya expect from a bunch of gun-totin’ rednecks, anyway?  Kinda like what we expect from a racist hustler from NYfuckenC.


I was going to refer to these people as “morons”, but it seems redundant, somehow.


LOL as panic ensues.


hardly worth commentary, really.  Anyone who’s ever had a Tequila Evening could probably top that story.


and until recently, New Zealand was always regarded as the “sensible” country in Australasia.


order away, Joe.  Let’s see how that works out for ya.


giving a whole new meaning to the term “one-night stand”.

And speaking of short and sweet:


…although frankly, I was amazed to see that the shortass’s feet even reached the ground.

Finally, a couple of my Brit Readers have complained about me giving short shrift to the extraordinary Rhian Sugden on these pages.  Complain no more:

Quote Of The Day

From Teddy Dalrymple:

“With luck, the mass impoverishment that is quite likely to strike Great Britain in the near future will prevent the British from going abroad in any numbers, thus slightly raising the cultural level of the rest of the world.”

When I emigrated , the following was written on the Bon Voyage  card presented to me by my former colleagues:

“Kim is leaving South Africa for the United States, thus raising the average IQ of both countries.”

Who said statisticians have no sense of humor?

Monday Funnies

Already?  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Fuck-Me-It’s-Monday…

So to lighten the load, let’s get silly:

 

And to continue with the cultural thread:

And just to round off the misery, a classical reference:

That’s enough of that stuff.  Here’s a little beauty, someone aptly-named Nikki Bella:

And yes, I know she has a twin named Brie:

3 Inexplicable Things About Brexit

The latest in this series:

  • Why it’s taken so long for the Brits to tell Germans, Frogs and other assorted Dago countries just to fuck off.
  • Why, after Brexit, the Brits will continue to use the European-spawned metric system instead of the fine Imperial one they themselves created.
  • Why there’s such a to-do about fishing territories.  Considering that the entire EU has a navy of a size comparable to Rhode Island’s, and even though the Royal Navy certainly isn’t what it used to be, I would have thought that the British negotiating position re: fishing would be:  “If you chaps fish where we don’t want you to fish, we’ll blow your ships out of the water.”
