Unisex facilities: Where else but California

Posted on November 7, 2015 | Comments Off on Unisex facilities: Where else but California

“They’re going to entirely unisex bathrooms to avoid insulting any ‘differently gendered’ students, by golly, and they’re starting with the elementary school.”

Well, now, all those jokes about seeing girls’ underpants will now be passe’. I mean when you can see it all. But Lileks has another concern:

“I mean, birds don’t care if they crap on gender-neutral terrain, but as Queen Victoria said, We are not emus.”

Well, some of us aren’t, anyhow.

He said/ she said so much easier than thinking

Posted on October 31, 2015 | 2 comments

“But The New York Times journalist, whose job it is to deliver the facts, does not mention the evidence which blows Palestinian alleged witness claims out of the water and which also belies Ashrawi’s unfounded allegation: the televised footage of Sider running with the knife.”

Hey, print journalists scorn the TV types. Video-schmideo. We all know how video can be doctored, right? Not nearly as easy as the print version, however, it must be said. Eh, NYTimes?

The Halloween that wasn’t

Posted on October 31, 2015 | 2 comments

Can’t face the little trick-or-treaters tonight, so the front lights will be off. They’re mostly small Asian (Korean, Chinese, sometimes Vietnamese) in store-bought costumes with their proud parents hanging back just to make sure no harm comes to them in this strange American ritual.

Bless their hearts. They’re not paranoid.

Always remind me of going out in old, tattered clothes as a hobo (as the “homeless” were called in the 1950s) and the year I used two boxes to make a robot outfit, then ran out of silver paint to make it just right. Worked well in the dark however.

Have fun out there kids. Watch out for cars.

The Hildabeast wants your guns

Posted on October 18, 2015 | 1 comment

“It’s one thing to support gun control.  It’s another to make it the centerpiece of a floundering presidential primary campaign.  But Hillary Clinton wasn’t finished when she latched onto the idea of opposing the NRA as a means of diverting the nation from the humiliating scandals and poll results plaguing her own bid to succeed Barack Obama. First, she announced to her wealthy supporters that ‘the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment,’ which demonstrates her opposition to the individual right to keep and bear firearms, including handguns, for self-defense. Now, however, she’s gone even further and echoed President Obama’s references to Australian and British style gun control.”

It’s highly unlikely the Democrats’ soon-to-be presidential nominee would have the guts to try and confiscate the guns of millions of law-abiding Americans. Even if it were possible, which she would soon find out that it isn’t.

She’s probably just lying, something she and her consort Slick Willie are noted for. But you never know. She’s also bat-shit crazy in a party of bat-shit crazies.

Apology Land

Posted on October 16, 2015 | 1 comment

What a strange place the USA has become. Everybody is expected to apologize (indeed, the Democrat news media frequently demands it) for whatever they may say in public that isn’t PC or pleasing to some group or another.

Is this multiculturalism in action? Or just a temporary pyschosis?

Or, as PJMedia’s Roger L. Simon says: Does “the demand for the apologies [come] almost exclusively  from the [howling] left — a morally narcissistic group-think culture that relies on shaming others in order to obscure the truth and gain power”?

A pox on all their houses.

Krackpots in Kyle

Posted on October 15, 2015 | 3 comments

Kyle, just down the road from the rancho, used to be a fairly sensible little Texas town. Nowadays, of course, it’s a bedroom community of Austin. And with its growth have come the leftist crackpots of public education.

Hence, at Lehman high school, which once might have been the scene of pickup trucks of youthful hunters in the parking lot with rifle racks in the back window, is now a haven for delicate little buttercups from California and elsewhere

So when one of them mistakes the word “gum” for “gun” the professional educators swing into action. “Because we are conducting the PSAT, we were able to hold students in their extended class periods to investigate the concern with little to no disruption to their schedule,” said principal Michelle Chae in a letter to parents.

On the other hand, why send a letter home if there was no problem? Why, to make sure the parents of those little buttercups don’t get the idea that they’re expected to act like real, independent, rational Texans.
