Taking A Sick Day; Also, Salman Rushdie Stabbed

Friday, August 12th, 2022

I’ve come down with the first real cold I’ve had in two years, and the 90 minute recall work on my car took 3.5 hours, so I’m tried and pissed off, Maybe a LinkSwarm tomorrow, assuming I’m feeling better.

Meanwhile: Open thread.

Also, writer Salman Rushdie was stabbed in the neck today at an event in The Chautauqua Institution in southwest New York state, near Lake Eire and the Pennsylvania line. As of this writing, Rushdie is evidently still alive and in surgery.

“The current Supreme Leader [of the Islamic Republic of Iran] repeated and reaffirmed the original fatwa as recently as 2019.”

And these are the people the Biden Administration is desperate to do a deal with…

Pre-Halloween Weekend Open Thread

Friday, October 29th, 2021

I have to run around a bunch this morning, so I think it’s going to end up being another Saturday LinkSwarm.

You can find all my Halloween posts on my non-political blog here.

Anyone doing anything interesting for Halloween this year?

I hope you’re enjoying America’s 245th Birthday today. In celebration, enjoy some vaguely-related videos. Here are some fireworks fails, complete with lots of cussing:

Speaking of profanity, here’s “America Fuck Yeah” from Team America: World Police.

(This version is funnier, but not embedable.)

And here’s “America” from West Side Story:

(Did you know that Stephen Spielberg has a remake due out this year? I don’t think that’s a good idea…)

Also, open thread. Talk amongst yourselves, and feel free to share stories of America’s greatness.

Biden Still Bidening (Open Thread)

Tuesday, November 24th, 2020

I spent all day putting together a new book catalog, so you’re getting a lazy blogging day today. Here’s a video of Joe Biden doing what Joe Biden does best: looking confused while stumbling over his own words:

Also: Open thread. Feel free to share your best Biden memes, and any new election fraud links I haven’t covered yet.

Purple Monkey, Open Thread

Tuesday, March 5th, 2019

I was going to embed another YouTube video, but I get 500 errors on existing YouTube videos, and this icon came up:

Is this because YouTube is deliberately screwing with Project Veritas, or just an unrelated technical glitch? You make the call!

In the meantime: Open thread! Try to avoid blood libels, calls to violence, racism or sexism (the real kind, not the fake SJW kind).

Now a random assortment of Gifs:
