All cultures are NOT equal

Iran is governed by a truly barbarous regime, something that would have stood out even in medieval times as an obscenity: "Ahoo Dariyaei’s Revolution".

If they arrest you, what awaits is quite often rape, torture, and death. Most are beaten to death, but if there has been resistance or other to raise the stakes, they can be hung. Keep in mind that rape is a tool, and one mandated years ago by the Ayatollah who decreed that female prisoners of any age were to be raped before execution so they would go to hell and not to heaven. No joke. If you want to learn the horrors that await those who defy these animals, there is plenty out there for you to look up.

That's certainly interesting

I wonder if this photo has something to do with the routine destruction of old documents that have been maintained for the minimum period of time required by law. Possibly. Possibly not.

Bungle in the jungle

Some presidents ride off into the sunset, others wander off into the rainforest. Here's Biden at the G20 summit in Brazil, after making some remarks on green energy.

I wonder if he caught a dart in the neck. 

Nah. I've cited the following selection from P.G. Wodehouse's novel before, in an earlier post pertaining to Biden's trip to New Guinea, which I think explains the lack of decisive action on the part of the locals.

"Although I'm afraid that the followers of the old ways may have grown lazy over time, as P.G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster speculated in a rumination on the subject in the novel, Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (while hiding behind a couch from an explorer named Plank, a detail which need not detain us).

My disapproval extended to the personnel of the various native tribes he had encountered in the course of his explorations. On his own showing, he had for years been horning in uninvited on the aborigines of Brazil, the Congo and elsewhere, and not one of them apparently had had the enterprise to get after him with a spear or to say it with poisoned darts from the family blowpipe. And these were fellows who called themselves savages. Savages, forsooth! The savages in the books I used to read in my childhood would have had him in the Obituary column before he could say "What ho," but with the ones you get nowadays it's all slackness and laissez-faire. Can't be bothered. Leave it to somebody else. Let George do it. One wonders what the world's coming to."

Elba would have been funnier, but it'll do

"Italian village offers $1 homes to Americans upset by the US election result".

“We have specifically created this website now to meet US post-elections relocation needs."

Haw!

Hey, his last name is suggestive of the sound he probably made when he was vaporized
