HARRIET & THOMAS BOWDLER CLAIM VINDICATION:  Here are just some of the words scrubbed from Roald Dahl’s books.

IT’S SPELLED MOONBAT:  Monbiot : We Must End Our Dependence on Farming.

AS ANOTHER OVER-EDUCATED, OVER-DEGREED WOMAN, SHE’S RIGHT:  Academic Failure and the Loss of Discourse.

Despite all the leftism, ten years ago, I assumed everyone interested in a life of the mind would go to college. Now? Now if anyone were to ask my opinion, I’d tell any 18 year old to take training in a trade, or learn to do whatever they must do to start a business, build their gadgets, start creating a future.

I’m not sure colleges have changed that much in the last ten — or twenty — years. But their faults and flaws have become more stridently evident.

THE MONOCULTURE IS ALWAYS A PROBLEM:  Ruling class gentry, er.. “elite” monoculture.

YEAH, BUT THAT WAS WHEN READERS WERE ASSUMED TO BE  TRADITIONAL AND CONSERVATIVE:  Remember when offending readers was a good thing?

MSNBC: TL/DR VERSION: THIS BROWN GAL NEEDS TO LEARN HER PLACE:  Wajahat Ali claims Nikki Haley uses ‘brown skin to launder’ white supremacy.

WELL, THAT’S ONE INTERPRETATION:   ‘First Roman dildo’ discovery shocks archaeologists: ‘Exciting and intriguing’.

There would seem to be obvious problems with a wooden dildo as opposed to say marble or jade or even ivory. Maybe it was indeed a dildo. Or maybe, you know, it was something else entirely.

RE-CHECK THE CALCULATIONS, THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE:  Al Gore’s ‘eco-friendly’ investment firm owns shares in polluting companies: report.

ON SUNDAYS I DO A PROMO POST. MOSTLY FOR INDIE AUTHORS: Book Promo and Vignettes by by Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike.

MEH. THEY SAY I ABANDONED MY HERITAGE BY TEACHING THE KIDS ENGLISH:  Tolerant Leftists Say Nikki Haley Is Abandoning Indian Heritage by Using Her Middle Name.

They can pick the country of their choice to go to. We’ll help them pack. Heck, I’m even willing to contribute a few bucks for a go fund me for their immigration funds.
