Ice Age Map

Posted on July 5, 2017 | 3 comments

Solid line is the approximate extent of glaciation in the last Ice Age, 11,000 years ago. All ice above it. People below it could survive. Dotted line is the approximate extent in the previous Ice Age.

“Climbing ever higher on the bodies of their fallen comrades, they tried to stay above the ever deepening snow. Still it kept coming. Four stories deep. Six stories deep. Nine. All in one day. Still they kept climbing, nine stories into the sky.”—Not By Fire, But By Ice

Offend a liberal: Celebrate the 4th

Posted on July 4, 2017 | 4 comments

Afterall, Bronco Bama just the other day warned Americans not to act too patriotic. Bad taste, you know. Makes the Euros, overwhelmed with belligerent Muslim immigrants, feel inferior.

Steven Hayward, of the Power Line blog, gets it: “My favorite indictment against King George III in the Declaration of Independence is this short passage that applies more fully today than in 1776: ‘He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance.'” Sounds familiar, don’t it?

Celebrate, you say. Whatever for? Well, there’s this from Trump’s new EPA chief Scott Pruitt: “EPA Chief moves to rollback over 30 environmental regulations in record time.” That’s the headline from cBS, which has a copy-editing mistake. Should be “more than 30.” We’ll skip the story which is not flattering for Trump or Pruitt. But that’s fake news for you. They’d have sided with King George III.

Not the white guys who gathered in Philadelphia to sign the declaration. So light a sparkler, eat some watermelon, or a hot dog. Or just keep an ear out for the illegal bottle rockets that will get fired in our neighborhood tonight. There’s still hope for independence.

McMansion Hell

Posted on July 4, 2017 | 1 comment

That’s the name of an architectural blog that puts down McMansions for, well, architectural reasons—poor symmetry, horrible proportions, lack of visual balance.

Me, I kind of like McMansions, especially the tall and narrow ones with lots of windows that will require extensive (and expensive) periodic washing. And a tall, two-story entry with overhanging balcony (inside) and curving staircase.

But amenities such as the movie room are going too far. Our next-door neighbor, with a one-story rancher like ours, has one. Used to be a dining room, I think. Bet it lacks a glade plug-in that (every 30 seconds) spritzes “a fine, precisely-calculated potpourri of stale popcorn, teen sweat, and post-3D movie vomit.”

The McMansion one has a carpet but it seems to lack the spilled soda and smooshed candy that make a real movie theater the “house of sticky floors.”

Bronco’s shadow presidency

Posted on July 3, 2017 | 4 comments

Following South Korean President Moon’s visit to the White House, gues who’s visiting him in Seoul?

None other than Bronco Bama his own self. This makes the third time he’s visited a foreign leader just before or just after President Trump did. Creepy little mother he is.

Mrs Bernie’s Bank Fraud

Posted on July 2, 2017 | Comments Off on Mrs Bernie’s Bank Fraud

Finally, a succint explanation of what’s at stake in her FBI investigation. Not from the NYT or the WaPo or (god forbid) CNN, but from Judicial Watch:

Records  obtained by Judicial Watch offer more insight into the time when Jane Sanders was president of Burlington College in Vermont, between 2004-11. Sanders’ push to expand the college is reportedly being  investigated by the FBI, namely the allegation by Vermont blog VTDigger  that she said she had $2.6 million in pledged donations in her loan application when in fact she had only half a million pledged.

Bernie’s also in hot water because of a little (do you know who I am?) power play:

“Sen. Sanders himself is also reportedly part of the investigation over allegations he put pressure on bank officials over the loan…”
