A lot of sticky fingers out there

No doubt emboldened by zero jail time: "Boston BLM Fraudster and “Bostonian of the Year” Must Return $220K in Funds Stolen Through Fraud".

From the Department of People Never Learn

Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that, with respect to some things, many people must learn from scratch.

Bonus video!  I'm pretty sure I've never seen them before.

Brings back memories

I saw this article - about mead made from Coca-Cola - and immediately thought about our friend Wronwright, from those golden days at Tim Blair's old blog: "Brewers are turning Coca-Cola into a very boozy wine".

For anyone who might not know, the fellow who called himself "Wronwright" was one of the most popular commenters at Tim's blog, and such a unique character that I dragooned him into service as  Detective Paco's sidekick. Sumerian mead was a trope or meme of some kind that got started in the comments section (I don't recollect the "origin" story), and it was frequently associated with Wronwright. I believe he may have commented here once, back in this blog's infancy, or perhaps he sent me an email, I don't recall exactly, but I haven't heard from him since, and I miss him. If you're still out there, Wron, I hope you're doing well, and please drop us a line sometime.

Oh, for the days when the King of Spain was once referred to as "His Most Catholic Majesty"

Of course, that was before the elitist bureaucrats took over and turned the country (and much of the rest of Europe) into a woke, Islam-friendly,  morally bankrupt disgrace. This is a horrible story: "Europe to Euthanize Girl Raped by Migrants".

Prime Minister Sanchez claimed that migrants “care for aging parents, work at small and large companies, harvest the food that’s on the table.”

Migrants also raped Noelia.

Her parents lost custody of her after they divorced when she was only thirteen and she bounced around between foster care and government shelters. At twenty-one, she was gang raped in a shelter that had been occupied by the migrants whom the Spanish government had welcomed into the country.

Noelia tried to commit suicide by jumping from the fifth floor, but survived and ended up as a paraplegic in a wheelchair. According to her father, she needs psychological help, but according to the Sanchez regime, the European Court of Human Rights and the elites, she needs to die.

Happy National Joe Day!

First time I ever heard of this one, but March 27th is National Joe Day, when we celebrate people named Joe, Joseph, Josephine, etc. I think there may be a tie-in with coffee, too.

So, I'll drink a cup in honor of my late father and my elder son. Joe Stalin is excluded by acclamation. As is Joe Biden.

A repost of a photo of my father , taken in 1946 (at the age of 17 or 18), dressed up and wearing a, er, very stylish necktie that I would love to have had.
