...or just sane vs. insane - "Biden's Education Secretary Nominee: Biological Males Have a Right to Compete Against Girls in Sports".
This is plain crazy. It is prime crazy, it can't be reduced into subsidiary parts. It is flagrantly wrong, stupid and insane. It is unadulterated lunacy.
I guess if the Democrats can't turn the country into a huge gulag, they'll settle for an enormous asylum.
Update Actually, I'm leaning toward good vs evil as the appropriate characterization of the struggle - "Former CIA Counter-Terrorism Official Agrees With Washington Examiner: Yes, We Need to Declare Literal War on Half the Country aka 'The Insurgents'".
Robert Heinlein, in the process of writing his "Future History", developed a timeline of major events (scroll down for the image).
ReplyDeleteThis included a period known as the "Crazy Years", which he described as:
Considerable technical advance during this period, accompanied by gradual deterioration of mores, orientation and social institutions, terminating in mass psychoses in the sixth decade, and the Interregnum."
Heinlein sometimes offers "forecasts" in some of his personal writings. So it's always bothered me that this part always rings true for our current world. Makes me wonder what else he knew ... ... but wasn't telling anyone.
In about 2010 I predicted that, given the then cuurent trajectory, the 2024 POTUSial election would be between a Papa John's pizza and Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThat's looking not just possible but a best-case scenario.
As somebody who doesn't eat pizza, I'm in the Thursday camp.
ReplyDeleteHeinlein sure knew his onions.
Don't eat pizza? What are you, a commie?
ReplyDeleteThe Interregnum was when Nehemiah Scudder stopped space travel. He was elected POTUS For Life in 2012 as a religious figure.
Remind you of anyone else elected in 2012?
Except the For Life part, but elections are looking pretty shaky and shady going on.
I've never even tried pizza. So, statistically speaking, the odds are greater that I'm a space alien than a mere human communist.
ReplyDeleteNever tried pizza!?! How did that happen? How did you raise kids without pizza? And Maggie. Well there isn't a better time than now to broaden your culinary palate.
DeleteLook on the bright side, Veeshir - if Paco doesn't eat pizza, then at least he's not eating pizza with pineapple on it!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people dis pizza with pineapple. I like ham and pineapple once in awhile.
DeleteI used to think I could guess at how things were going to go based on my perusal of facts and my gut feeling. Wasn't always right, but it's guided me through all my many decades of life. All that's out the window now. It's like God picked up the world and shook it just to watch the snow fall.
ReplyDeleteIf that doesn't make sense to anybody else, it's probably because I'm still reeling from the revelation that Paco has never tried pizza. :-0
It makes sense to me. But what doesn't make sense is Paco never having tried pizza. How does someone get this far in life without tasting pizza.
DeleteLove the snowglobe theory.
All that said, Skubinna is right about pineapple on pizza. That's a travesty. But now there's a new restaurant in my home town that offers pizza with pickles on it, and some people think it's deelish. What was that about God and watching the snow?
ReplyDeleteNot only have I eaten pizza, I’ve eaten pizza with pineapple. But pizza with pickles? That’s as bad putting anchovies on pizza.
ReplyDeleteAmerican food - my wife grew up in the West Indies Creole culture, so my kids grew up eating baked macaroni and cheese pie with red bean chili stew every Sunday. And she adds thyme to everything.
ReplyDeleteWest Indians are very rare in Australia.
On my home planet, we bait traps with pizza to catch the dreaded saber-toothed bandicoot.
ReplyDeletePaco, if you place a large cheese pizza beneath a tree and retire to a safe distance, a drop bear is likely to plunge onto it and then be trapped by the cheese. You may then cast a net over it. This is how the zoos in Oz gather their specimens.
ReplyDeleteFor this reason, a large cheese pizza is known in Australia as a "Strine Beartrap."
Very similar to to the traps on Pacopiter.
ReplyDeleteI've seen no evidence which disproves that theory.
ReplyDeleteSo it must be true.
