Re: muslims are bloody hateful bastards

N fucking O. Maybe I am just wasting electrons. Some Muslims are bloody hateful bastards. Just as some Christians are bloody hateful bastards, and some Jews are bloody hateful bastards, and some atheists are bloody hateful bastards. In fact some people are bloody hateful bastards - it's known as the...

Re: Biden is a coward

Leave the statues that commemorate the courage of my ancestors, and I will feel that my heritage is respected! No-one doubts the courage of your ancestors especially the cannon-fodder (of whom there were plenty on both sides) who were told that they were fighting for God and their native land. They...

Re: Birtherism is back

Trump pledges to end birthright citizenship on first day in office I think if he does try that, even this court will say 'Stop right there - you can't do that.' Mind you, if he does, I will be first in line to claim back all the taxes I have paid over the past 40 years. Should be enough to set me u...

Elon R Musk wants to be my FaceBook friend

I posted something on FB which showed a primitive understanding of astronomy (very primitive - I am no Brian May) and Elon R Musk answered, complete with picture, asking to be my friend. I should get back to him with 'Tesla' in the subject line of my response. He probably wants to borrow money. What...

Re: Israel at War

And when I go on YouTube in search of a little light entertainment, I get a Trump ad. God only knows why the YouTube algorithm thinks I want this. Anyway apparently I can get a free Trump 'gold coin' if I just fill out a questionnaire. I'd love to get one - it looks to me as if it is at least 6 gram...

Re: We all love puns

I'm not sure whether Eddie's 'Stolen' was a comment on BB's post or a note that he (Eddie) intended to appropriate the jest for his own use. I have a copy of Pearls Blows Up, the 2011 compendium of 'Pearls Before Swine' strips. Stephan Pastis was on a book tour and signed this to me with a hand draw...

Re: Trump has a Chinese Eye

"Remember, the other side does cheat." This being a primary, 'the other side' has to refer to De Santis, Haley etc. It's really difficult to know what root for among that crowd. One side of me wants Trump to win in the hope that he will slink off in shame in November. Well a man can dream. I sometim...

Re: Well, Colorado seems to be in the news today.

I'm not sure if it is the last time, but in 2012 Colorado excluded one Abdul Hassan from running for President, on the grounds that Colorado had determined that Mr Hassan had not in fact been born in the US. A then Tenth Circuit judge, Neil Gorsuch (that name rings a bell) said that Colorado had the...

Re: Well, Colorado seems to be in the news today.

The Constitution leaves it very much up to the states how they conduct their elections within certain constraints - Pres has to be 35, natural born etc., all citizens over 18 allowed to vote (but states can have different rules about felons, absentee ballots etc provided they are not otherwise discr...

Re: Neither rain nor snow...money that's different.

This does not answer your question but Amazon has what they call a 'hub locker' service under which you can specify delivery to somewhere who partners with them - in my case the nearest location is a Whole Foods but there are plenty of non-Amazon companies - and apparently it's free. Whole Foods is ...

Interesting, Scooter. 'Jordan' is certainly one of those names that goes both ways, as it were. It's a Hebrew derived name. I noticed that his full name is Jordan Bernt Peterson. I wonder if there is a clue there: 'Bernt Peter' might well refer to a botched circumcision at birth (it happens) which w...

Re: Revenge of the steerage class?

It looks as if the manufacturers of this device cut so many corners that they should be liable - but that of course is speculation on my part based on what I have read. Both RCMP and USCG are investigating so I suppose we will see a report in a year or so. Apparently the passengers all signed a waiv...

Conventional wisdom is that the events of the last few days left Putin badly shaken and, for the first time in decades, the future of the world's largest country is in some doubt. As always, time will tell but I am not convinced. The story board goes like this. Putin's incredibly savage mercenary le...
