A Little of This, a Little of That

So I found a few amusing things today that may, for a while, take your mind off the horrors of the third Obama administration.

Somebody dug up an interesting video of Leonard Nimoy warning in the ’70s about the looming ice age. We were all going to freeze to death because a global freeze was imminent. Noted climate scientists said so!

Of course, that was before we were all going to burn to death due to global warming.  The video can be found here.

POV Potpourri

A potpourri of items from the web and in the news, with some (let’s hope) pertinent comments upon them:

First up, Chicago Mayor Lightfoot spends long minutes quibbling with a reporter because he called violence in her city last summer “race riots.” After excoriating him for his opinion that these were race riots, she then admonished him for criticizing her own opinion, false though it may be, that 99.9% of criticism thrown her way is only because she’s black, female, (and lesbian). So reporters don’t have a “right” to critique her opinions but she seems to believe that she has a right to critique theirs. Different strokes!

Xenophobe in Chief

 

Joe Biden’s spokesperson has announced a new policy concerning international travel:

The administration will restrict travel from India starting immediately. The policy will be implemented in light of extraordinarily high COVID-19 caseloads and multiple variants circulating in India.

As the cited article pointed out, Biden previously stated that travel bans won’t stop the virus.

Concerning Sign?

Is former Senator Joseph Biden, alleged “president elect”, signaling something to the country? Enquiring minds need to know.

A Nit to Pick

Begging forgiveness for the above photo (which shows the nit of a human head louse), nevertheless I have a nit that I’m going to pick.

A story in the UK news reports the suicide of a former member of the previous U.S. administration.

Cohen Clown Circus

While the Cool Cat’s away, the Clowns will play. Step right up, folks, the Cohen Clown Circus is now in session.

Super Bowl Sunday 2019

Oh, yay! Super Bowl Sunday. Is anyone going to watch the game? Does anyone care? The “illustrious” former-St.-Louis-now-L.A. Rams compete against the New England Patriots. Such suspense!

Snow White Says, “Me, too!”

Just when you think that popular (progressive) culture could not get any more ridiculous, it does.

Actress Kristen Bell has suggested that Prince Charming is probably guilty of sexual assault. How so? He didn’t ask Snow White’s permission to kiss her and thus break the spell that kept her in enchanted sleep!

Very Stable Genius, Indeed!

While everyone else is playing checkers, President Trump is playing chess; and he’s always three moves ahead.

Where Won’t the Birth Certificate Be?

In case you haven’t heard yet, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is running for the Senate office being vacated by Jeff (the Flake) Flake. Yesterday, Sheriff Joe took the opportunity to remind the world that the FBI still hasn’t done much to investigate Obama’s fake birth certificate.  Apparently, they’re too busy looking into the equally fake Trump dossier.
