Stop Doodling Around

Happy Wingsday wingsmen.

bird wingsday

I offer this as a PSA: Although dogs bred with poodles have been extremely popular for years now, resulting in new breeds left and right, please stop breeding poodles with EVERYTHING!

Stick with adorable doodle dogs and curly fries.

The world really does not need a Chick-a-Doodle.

Maybe an Australian mountain doodle

but definitely not a Chick-a-doodle.

The King of Memes

Although Chuck Norris didn’t invent memes, arguably that was Russian standup comedian Yakov Smirnoff with his “In Soviet Russia…” routine, but he certainly ruled the genre.

Yakov Smirnoff pre-dated the viral shared template, humorous, digital memes that took off in the 2000s as his routine  peaked in the 1980s was known as a Russian reversal joke.

As funny as the Smirnoff trope was the unquestioned master of the internet meme was Chuck Norris. So let’s just leave the war behind for awhile and revel in the fun of “Chuck Norris facts.” Like the Communism/Capitalist trope they will age well because of the eternal clash of left and right, good and evil.  So here’s to you Chuck, the baddest hero ever. The list of his amazing strengths is long and eternally funny. A few of my favorites below: there are literally hundreds of these and I encourage you to add your favorite.

RIP Mr. Norris. You earned it.

TDS Remains At Epidemic Level

“Cuba’s President announced talks with the Trump administration amid a fuel crisis.” Could this really be happening? Yes, but only because of President Donald J. Trump.

He told us we’d get tired of winning (we’re not). He likes winning so much he wants other countries under oppressive regimes to win as well.

The media is apoplectic of course. How dare he! As Daniel Friedman pointed out “The Left is so committed to the position that bad guys are actually good guys and good guys are actually bad guys that multiple major media outlets tried to justify and rationalize the actions of a terrorist who drove a truck full of explosives into a pre-school full of babies.”

Trump Derangement Syndrome remains at epidemic levels with no vaccine in sight.

PDJT was wrong, it’s not us who got tired of us winning it’s the left. And they don’t know how to lose.

Thank You President Trump – And Farewell To Our Blonde Gator

 

clint eastwood

Is there even one serious American who really thinks it a good idea to allow psychotic religious fanatics to get their hands on nuclear weapons? Who could be in favor of allowing a brutal, repressive, authoritarian regime that has professed “death to America” for decades to obtain annihilistic weapons? The Democrats have been seeing Nazis all over this country for years but when they get a chance to eliminate a real 21st century Nazi they decline, choosing instead to condemn Trump - for wanting to eliminate a 21st century Nazi.

Their TDS is either the result of or caused by an inability to think rationally. As Don Surber noted “anything the commander-in-chief does is illegal, dangerous, unconstitutional and eventually, grounds for impeachment.” TDS should be listed in the DSM as a major mental disorder.

Continued negotiations with Iran’s brutal, ideologically driven theocracy, a regime that suppresses dissent, supports worldwide terrorism, tortures and executes its own citizens won’t result in peace. They don’t want peace, they want death to Israel and America. The 48th year of the conflict will not change that. And who beside the USA can change that?  If not us, who? If not now, when?

May God bless President Donald J. Trump for excising this malignancy.

 

 

Tribute to our Blonde Gator

To say that Blonde Gator’s death has hit me hard is an understatement. What can I say about this exceptional woman who graced our lives with her comments and observations for so many years? She was a force of nature unto herself: intelligent, witty, snarky, and fun. She did not suffer fools gladly, which made her a perfect moderator at Newsbuster’s.

She retained her positive approach to life even in the face of daunting health and life challenges for both her and her beloved Blake. How she navigated through the last 2 years with such good humor and grace is beyond me. Such courage, fortitude and resilience in the face of adversity was nothing short of aspirational. She was the very embodiment of the American can-and-will-do spirit. As I said, a true force to be reckoned with.

We’ll miss the tales about Blonde Mom with her Thunderbird, BG’s crazy trips through Costa Rica, her management time at the mob connected waste company, the marathon cooking sessions of green chili, tamales and homemade sausage with her trusty Kitchen Aide, the crazy kitty tales – especially that one special one that showed up on her porch one Christmas Eve and stayed a lifetime. She entertained and enlightened us for years with her interests and experiences which stretched from deep sea fishing to orchids and everything in between. She lived a very full life.

You will be deeply missed by all your friends here Jacque. May you now rest in peace in the arms of the Lord, reunited with your beloved Blonde Mom and little sister.

As the years tick on we continue to lose so many of our MOTI.  Some that immediately come to mind: Bunny, Lost in Younkers, Claire, Della Street aka NotMySocks, Janet the Elder, Succotash,, Muskrat, Longknife, Karla, Rocket Ride,  Jettie and now Blonde Gator. I’m sure there are others too that slip my unreliable mind, as well as those who have just disappeared without a trace like Boo and Greenspots. We don’t know where they are or what’s happened to them but they’re all remembered here and are deeply missed.

Waiting For Spring

Oh dear, another snow bomb scheduled this weekend. Major winter storm en route with all the attendant blizzard conditions, canceled flights, dangerous travel, electric outages and wall to wall coverage.

snow birds

It all seems so unfair with all the carbon emissions causing the earth to warm so dangerously. But then, we all know life’s not fair.

Pray for spring.

Happy St. Valentine’s Day

Let’s start the day off with a nice cup of coffee.

You’ll need it to fortify yourself against the onslaught of Valentine’s Day. Remember, this is not just an exhibition, it’s also a competition replete with candy, flowers, cards, puppies and poetry.

Not bad for a made-up holiday. I’m not sure St. Valentine would approve of the materialism of the day but who could object to a day dedicated to love?

Oh yeah, the religion of peace.

The rest of you, enjoy the sweets be they animal, mineral or vegetable.

Michelle Still Schtruggles

Will this woman ever stop whining?

 

First of all, what’s with the macrame hair-do? Secondly, has this woman ever done an interview with out talking about race? It’s as if that’s the only thing she cares about. Third, what pain has Michelle experienced that we have not already heard ad nauseum about? And fourth, what does one of the most fawned over, privileged, wealthy women in the country have to whine about in the first place?

And if she does have something to whine about let me remind her that she’s has been “articulating her pain” every time she opened her mouth for the last 15 years. She should really check in with her pal Gweneth Paltrow to learn a bit about “practicing gratitude,” clearly a concept she’s unfamiliar with.

And what right does a woman wearing $100,000 worth of gold around her neck have to complain in the first place?

I apologize, I’m simply in no mood to countenance this woman’s narcissistic grievance airing. Carry on, we’ve still got a lot of illegal aliens to deport.
