UK PARLIAMENT PASSES EU WITHDRAWAL BILL, PAVING WAY FOR BREXIT ON JANUARY 31. “Wednesday’s vote paves the way for the UK to leave the EU on 31 January, awaiting formal permission from Her Majesty The Queen.”
UPDATE: Here we go:
(Updated and bumped.)
BACK TO THE FUTURE! Elizabeth Warren: As President, I Would Create a DOJ Task Force to Investigate Trump.
THE LEFT: “CAPITALISM HAS FAILED.” Me: A global tipping point: Half the world is now middle class or wealthier. The Left: Yeah, we hate the middle class.
21st CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: K-9 bites cow, SC deputy tases K-9, cow kicks deputy.
EVERGREEN HEADLINE: Don’t own any rental properties in Oakland and get out if you can.
THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK IS AT 100 SECONDS TO MIDNIGHT, WHATEVER THAT MEANS: “Sorry, Boomers. Just because you’ve been told your entire lives that you’re killing the planet, that doesn’t mean it’s true. If some scientists want to pretend they can’t tell time, that’s their business. The rest of us have enough problems already without making up new ones.”
DANGERS OF ELECTRIC CARS: I mowed down a lady. “Early on, Shirley told me that she hadn’t heard the car running. We may not always be conscious of it, but humans use subtle sensory clues as a sort of early-warning system. A running engine would likely have alerted Shirley that my car had the potential to move. Who knew that the old motorcycle adage ‘loud pipes save lives’ also applied to idling electric cars?”
If I get an electric car, I want it to make a Jetsons style bleebling noise.
IT’S SHAMING ALL THE WAY DOWN: “The shamers were themselves shamed. Shame shaming works.”

SHOCKING NEWS FROM THE WORLD OF SCIENCE: Belly fat increases risk for second heart attack.
MARK STEYN ON IMPEACHMENT: Objection: Sad!
This time I’m the one disinclined to follow along. The left, being not terribly imaginative, always accuse you of what they’re doing themselves. So, in this case, President Trump is charged with interfering with the 2020 election by men who have been interfering with the 2016 and 2020 elections for over three-and-a-half years now. Which is why we have the preposterous spectacle of four Democrat presidential candidates preparing to vote to remove from office the guy they’re running against.
This is a joke. I gave up on it when, on the eve of the trial, the laughably named “Government Accountability Office” released its supposedly entirely separate conclusion that Trump had acted “illegally”. Aside from the fact that that “finding” is flat out wrong, I wonder whether the permanent bureaucracy ever thinks, “Gee, maybe we should be a little more subtle about putting our Deep State thumbs on the scale.”
