Assortment

Rupert Murdoch is casting a much smaller shadow these days.

Too bad the old boy wasn't in it: "Protesters torch home of Ayatollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic". Yes, he's been dead for years, and is probably roasting nicely where he is now, but it would have been interesting to see him go up like a Molotov cocktail.

Well-known mental midget AOC takes on Elon Musk. Results? Predictable.

I was not particularly a fan of Hogan's Heroes - I could never get past the artifice that talking English with a German accent was just like speaking real German - but I was interested to read recently that Robert Clary - who played little Corporal LeBeau and who just passed away - was a Nazi concentration camp survivor: "Robert Clary, survivor of Nazi camps and last of ‘Hogan’s Heroes’ stars, dies at 96". 

U-turn? The guy's practically doing donuts: "Joe Biden Does a Shocking U-Turn on Saudi Arabia".

In California, they make love, not war, on crime: "Suspect Who Plowed Into Police Recruits Released From Jail".

Poor Michelle Obama; no matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to become a victim of real racism, so she has to settle for the imaginary variety: "Michelle Obama Says She Didn’t Wear Her Hair in Braids in the White House – Can You Guess?"

So, now, on top of everything else, we have an owl trafficking problem?

  1. Robert Clary's story is really interesting, as was the fact that all the Nazis on Hogan's Heroes were played by Jewish actors.

    AOC, pfft! She's nothing without Twitter or Instagram or whatever online platform she joins because that's all there is to her. Everybody in Congress knows she's an airhead.

    I saw a video clip of that guy who ran over the police recruits being questioned, and he didn't seem to be very bothered by the whole thing. I guess he knows he'll eventually get away with it, being in California and all.

  2. Thanks for the link on the Rupert Murdoch story, Paco. If you're 90+ and dumping your latest wife via email, you might be inclined to overvalue your presence in this world.

    Speaking of excessive self esteem, I hope Joe likes the flavour of Arabian crow. He's going to be eating plenty of it.

  3. Saw something yesterday many of the Germans were Jews and a few escaped Germany before they were sent to the camps.
