The Chancellor of the Grand Academy of Lagado is pushing another of his enthusiasms

"Playing God: Bill Gates Pushes Use of Sun-Dimming Technology at ‘Climate Tipping Point’".

B-b-but I thought Gates had finally thrown in the towel on climate alarmism? I guess he retrieved it.

"Yes, Mr. Gates, we'll be getting on that just as soon as we complete our project on extracting sunbeams from cucumbers."

I have a feeling that Maduro is probably sleeping in the basement of the Cuban Embassy

"Putin abandons Maduro and urges his citizens to leave Venezuela".

I had never heard of this breed before

The Carolina dog - also known as the Carolina dingo.

I used to see a lot of similar-looking yellow mutts around when I was growing up, but I didn't know they were going to hit the big time some day.

And now, a word from our sponsor

 

Those are Montecristo cigars. When I began seriously getting into cigars, 50 years ago, Montecristo was considered by many aficionados to be the best cigar in the world. A friend and I drove up into Canada in 1975, and I bought a box which I brought back into the states. It was touch and go, there, for a while; we got selected by the border guards to pull into their garage at the crossing, and they commenced a search. The cigars were in the trunk, not very well-hidden beneath the spare tire. Fortunately, the border guards didn't want to mess with the luggage rack on the trunk, which would have had to have been unbuckled and untied for the trunk to be opened, so we escaped with our loot intact. They did pop the hood, however, and look under the lid of the air filter for some reason, where they discovered...a carburetor. 

It's just Monday...

...but I'm fairly certain this is going to be the stupidest thing I see all week. 

UK police: upholding the great tradition of mad dogs  lap dogs and Englishmen.

Keep praying

 Some preliminary good news.

The denial of reality is one of the main weapons in the devil's arsenal

"The United States of Delusion".

Americans can handle hardship. We cannot handle insanity. This country has survived world wars, economic depressions, political violence and cultural upheaval. We adapted. We endured. We rebuilt. Hardship isn’t new to us. But widespread derangement will break us as a nation.
