BECAUSE THEY CAN:  Scientists can’t figure out why otters love to juggle.

YEARS AGO — THE YEAR OF THE FIVE HOUSE MOVES — OLDER SON AND I STOPPED BY THE GROCERY STORE.  WHILE I WAS RUNNING AROUND GATHERING ENOUGH TO MAKE DINNER, THEY DID THE ANNOUNCEMENT “IT’S TIME OF THE TOP OF THE HOUR WALK.”

SOMETHING MADE ME LOOK AT SON. HE WAS DOING THE ENTIRE MINISTRY OF SILLY WALKS, WITH ADDITIONAL SILLINESS. NOW EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT  ANNOUNCEMENT I LAUGH, EVEN IF I’M SHOPPING BY MYSELF:  Hilarious footage shows people performing their best silly walks in Monty Python inspired joke.

SOCIALIST PRIVILEGE. SAME AS IT ALWAYS WAS:  Tax For Thee, Not For Me, Says AOC.

THERE ARE INDEED SEVERAL THINGS WRONG WITH THIS PLAN. THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE BEING THAT IT WON’T WORK:  Mark Cuban Touts Trickle Up Economics.

How about y’all let my people go (back to work)? You can’t stimulate the economy while simultaneously keeping it locked down. Give it up.

I GUESS THE ENTIRE WORLD IS PARTICLE PHYSICS, NOW?  The Era of Anomalies.

GOOD FOR THEM!  New Yorkers paying big bucks for illicit haircuts, manicures, Botox.

WITH DOCTORATES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND MEDICAL BIOMETRY HE CAN’T POSSIBLY HAVE GREATER EXPERTISE THAN KAREN:  YouTube censors epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski for opposing lockdown.

STUDIES HAVE FOUND THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE FAR MORE LIKELY TO WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE EXITING WHEN THERE IS SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE JOHN:  CNN reporter caught removing face mask when she thought camera was off.

THEY TOLD US THIS WAS A 2 – 3 WEEK LOCKDOWN, WE DIDN’T AGREE TO SEVERAL MONTHS. HECK, WE DIDN’T EVEN AGREE TO TWO TO THREE WEEKS. WE SHOULD ALL BE WEARING T-SHIRTS THAT SAY “WE DID NOT CONSENT”:  Social distancing on the decline in the US: poll.

They can go socially distance themselves. Nosotros (lit: we others. Very useful from Spanish. And probably misspelled since I haven’t read Spanish in years) are going to set ourselves free.

GO TO SPIN, STRANGENESS AND CHARM FOR YOUR WINNIE THE FLU RELATED NEWS:  COVID19 update, May 18, 2020: preliminary human vaccine trial results; new BCG study rules out COVID protective effect; the Swedish road alone; more YouTube censorship.

THIS IS YOUR WORLD ON SOCIALISM:  Desperate Venezuelans turn to cow blood soup during coronavirus lockdown.

FOR IT TO BE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, IT WOULD MEAN THEY HAD SOME AUTHORITY TO ORDER US AROUND. THEY DON’T. SO ALL THEY DESERVE IS: Civil Shoulder Shrug.

YES, IT’S THE BEE. HOWEVER, MR. PRESIDENT, I’LL POINT OUT I CAN PUT ON A GOOD IMPRESSION AND I HAVE AN ACCENT THAT WILL FREAK OUT THE PRESS:  Trump Appoints Angry Honey Badger As New Press Secretary.

And also that my training is very similar to that of journalists, and the one thing one gets from being forced to shut up and pretend in groups of Marxists is a gut-deep hatred of the philosophy and an ability to see through it, as though it were made of glass.

CORRUPTION ON SUCH A SCALE CALLS ALL OF MODERNITY INTO QUESTION, STAGGERS THE MIND, AND MAKES US WONDER WHAT THE PRESS WAS DOING. OTHER THAN SEEKING TO CURRY FAVOR WITH THE KLEPTOKRATS AND STATISTS:  The bigger picture on Obamagate.

WHEN THE CLOWN CAR CRASHES WITH A DUMPSTER AND THE WHOLE THING GOES UP IN FLAMES:   Adventures in Social Media – Mil-Vet Version.

YOU KNOW, THE PROBLEM IS THESE DAYS WE SEEM TO BE LIVING IN A NOVEL. BUT NO NOVELIST COULD GET AWAY WITH  THE LEVEL OF STUPIDITY REALITY PRESENTS US WITH EVERY DAY:  Rush Limbaugh Went There.

DUH!  Imperial College model used to justify UK and U.S. lockdowns deemed ‘buggy mess’ & ‘total unreliable’ by experts.

SANITY? IN THE GLORIOUS BEAR FLAG PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC? DON’T LET NOISOME FIND OUT:  Fresno Co. Sheriff Won’t Enforce CA Lockdown Order, Too Busy Rearresting Released Criminals.

SUE THE TYRANTS INTO OBLIVION. WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?  NY AG threatens law firm claiming office headcount violates Cuomo lockdown, gets sued in response.

THROW IN THE WHO AND THE UN.  PUT ALL OF THOSE CRAZY IDEAS IN A SACK AND DROWN THEM LIKE A LITTER OF MALFORMED PUPPIES ALREADY. IN THE FUTURE HISTORIANS WILL LOOK ON THE 20TH CENTURY LIKE WE LOOK ON THE FOURTEENTH. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE DISASTERS OF THE 14TH CENTURY WERE NOT CAUSED BY DERANGED IDEAS:  It’s Time to Exit Relics of Globalism Like the WTO.

WHEN THE SEWERS ARE TORN OPEN, AND WE SMELL THE EFFLUVIA, THERE IS A TEMPTATION TO PRETEND THE SH*T WASN’T ALWAYS THERE.  IT WAS. AND WE HAVE ONLY STARTED TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE. THE LEFT IS CORRUPT BECAUSE THE LEFT HASN’T BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY THEIR WHOLLY-OWNED PRESS FOR OVER 50 YEARS. THERE’S SH*T THERE THAT WOULD SHOCK EVEN ME, IF I DIDN’T GUESS AT IT LONG AGO:  John Brennan and the Plot to Subvert an American Election.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND ALL THOSE WHO WEREN’T PAYING ATTENTION THAT THE USSR BILLED ITSELF AS ‘SCIENTIFICALLY GOVERNED.” AT NO TIME DOES ‘SCIENTIFIC’ RULE BY ‘EXPERTS’ END WELL. EVER:  So Much for Specialists?

LOOK, I AM NOT SAYING I WON’T ENGAGE IN LARP (LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAYING [GAME]). I HAVEN’T YET. BUT I HAVE SOME BOOKS FOR SOME SYSTEMS I’M A FAN OF. BUT THIS WINNIE THE FLU SUPPOSEDLY APOCALYPTIC LARP? IT’S BORING, INCONSISTENT, POORLY WRITTEN AND NOT LOGICAL. I WILL NOT PLAY. I AWARD IT NO POINTS, AND MAY G-D HAVE MERCY ON ITS SOUL:  Mask On Or Mask Off, All Virtue Signalling.

AW. A LITTLE BIT LESS COMEDY IN THE WORLD:  Biden Punts on Abrams; Grimace Sad.

FAILING AT WHAT, PRECISELY? ALSO, WHAT PRECISELY DO WE NEED IT FOR? CAN WE SHED THE FANTASIES OF THE 20TH CENTURY PLEASE? IF THERE’S AN IDEA THAT DESERVES BURIAL ALONGSIDE THE IDEA OF THE VIBRANT AND INNOVATIVE PLANNED ECONOMY WITH ITS HAPPY AND FREE PEOPLE, IT’S THE IDEA THAT A WORLD ASSOCIATION OF TYRANTS, KLEPTOCRACIES AND A FEW MORE OR LESS FREE COUNTRIES IS ANYTHING BUT SIX WOLVES AND A SHEEP DISCUSSING WHAT TO HAVE FOR DINNER:  The United Nations is failing the world when we need it most.

If there’s some need for the UN it’s a stupid, nay surreal need. Kind of like a desperate necessity for violinists in a war zone.
