Falling Leaves and the Hazard of Experts
The Death Rattle of Western Civilization continues. As the foundations of our culture are being destroyed from within by means of 1) hysterical panic over a 99.9% survivable virus, and 2) spittle-flecked irrational hatred whipped up over a media-enabled fictionalized caricature of the President, it’s important to take time to appreciate the little things. It’s almost Halloween, and the leaves are still on the trees. This is unusual. Also, we were buried in eight inches …
Yes, Governor Jay Inslee Really Is This Stupid.
Today Washington Governor Jay Inslee dropped the following Stupid Bomb on Twitter: Dude! Did you think of that yourself or did the bubble bath, plastic boaties and rubber duck help? “What aircraft carriers were in World War II, masks are today.” This is not just stupid, this is a black hole of Stupid so densely Stupid it attracts all galactic Stupid to itself, and gathers into a whirling mass of Stupid so thick and heavy …

A Communist Gives The Best Reason to Keep Guns
“I’m gonna come at you,” he said. The blank stare I gave him in response suggested the need for more information. “About gun ownership,” he added. “Okay,” I replied. Here we go, I thought. In the next few minutes, he regaled me with his deep and abiding hatred of gun violence. Golly! I hate gun violence too! Perhaps we are kindred spirits. He went on to briefly describe how his colleagues – fellow teachers and …

Kneel before Zod!
This whole “kneel before Zod” thing really took me by surprise, but I was able to toss together a couple memes to mark the occasion.

A Dead Moose: Smarter Than Governor Inslee
I saw a moose today. It didn’t look well. Also, Governor Inslee is an idiot.
