Sunday funnies

Updated and bumped (H/T: R-Man)












Remembering "Tastes great! Less filling!"




At this stage, it really wouldn't surprise me: "YouTube Removing All Videos That Don't Begin With The Chinese National Anthem".


Lots of useful new words here. For example: BACKPFEIFENGESICHT (GERMAN) - A face badly in need of a fist (H/T: David Thompson). Ahem...




From Powerline's "The Week in Pictures".



This is the kind of thing that makes me regret I didn't buy a double-wide trailer and 50 acres of desert land in the foothills of the Dragoon Mountains

"Neighbor sends rude ‘stay at home’ note to woman—has no idea she’s a 911 dispatcher".

Neighbors. You can never be sure what kind you're going to get. If your closest one lives a half-mile away, it's no problem. If we're talking 30 or 40 feet, that's when you run the risk of...issues. Like the woman in the story linked above, who was the victim of the nosy, know-it-all neighbor who leaves notes. Or the little girl who posted "No Smoking" signs on the cul-de-sac where I used to live in Fairfax, VA (I was the only smoker in the immediate neighborhood). Or the fellow next door to me now who overwaters everything in his yard, from the grass to the shrubs - which would be ok, except for the fact that there's one strip of land between us where I will probably only be able to grow cattails or maybe lily pads.

Isolation. It's greatly underrated.

Unlike Francisco Franco, Kim Jong-Un apparently isn't still dead. And who knew he was such a playah: "Kim Jong Un may be holed up with his 2,000-woman ‘Pleasure Squad’".


Republicans can usually be counted on to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but, fortunately, this tendency is somewhat counterbalanced by the Democrats' uncontrollable impulse to overreach: "Thousands Amass in Front of Huntington Beach Pier to Protest Newsom’s Order to Close Orange County Beaches". And let's not forget Gauleiter Whitmer: "Mich. Gov. Whitmer Extends Emergency Declaration Until May 28th".


UK police don't have anything better to do than to track down some wag who's walking around in a medieval doctor's plague suit.
While police admit that the person has committed no crimes, Norfolk Police has said that they want to “provide words of advice” to the walker, according to The Telegraph.
While police admit that the person has committed no crimes... Full stop; he has "committed no crimes". Leave him the hell alone.


Lock 'em all up, let God sort 'em out.


Boy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a massive gun ban in Canada (Next year's most popular Canadian book? The Complete Guide to Elk Hunting with Sling Shots).


Probably the most interesting, and ominous, nugget in this story is the assertion that Michelle Obama is interested in an Illinois Senate seat: "Bucking Obama, Senator Duckworth breaks ranks with party on Biden rape charges".



(From Powerline's "Mid-Week in Pictures: Week Seven Edition")

Haw!

Hillary Clinton is supposedly "waiting for the call", as Biden continues to dissolve into a blob of incoherence.



Hillary just keeps on keepin' on.

May Day

Historically, this day has been used by commies, socialists and similar types to celebrate the working class.

Here is a photo gallery showing some of the benefits that accrued to the people of Russia and Eastern Europe under that great champion of the proletariat, Joseph Stalin.

Oh, swell

We also have Chris Wray to thank for promoting the execrable Andrew Weismann.

I'm going to keep asking: why is this shifty, beady-eyed weasel still head of the FBI?

Update Conservative radio talk-show host Todd Herman is filling in for Rush Limbaugh this week, and he floated a crazy idea that will never happen, but which I love and get goose pimples just thinking about: how about, when General Flynn is exonerated, President Trump appoints him as head of the FBI?

Good thing Joe Biden only has to deal with one allegation of inappropriate conduct

Or is it eight?

This is...creepy: "He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth.”

Rub noses. What the...
