  • Wow. Lori Lightfoot seems to have a bit of an obsession with male 'members'

     I read a while ago about Lori Lightfoot’s tirade when it came to the Christopher Columbus statue in Chicago.  Putting aside my absolute abhorrence for the tearing down of history (I cried when the Taliban destroyed the Buddhas) and the fact that she really doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the police (except for the… Continue reading

  • I don't get it with teachers now

    When I was in school, I heard nothing, absolutely nothing, about a teacher’s personal life.  They were a teacher.  In my small hometown, a few years after I graduated, the english teacher ran off with the art teacher (both male).   None of the kids I knew had an inkling that either were gay (in the… Continue reading

  • It's a small start

     Point Park University is closing its Equity and Diversity office at the end of this semester.  It’s kind of hollow since the personnel will still be employed and the policies will still continue.  Not surprisingly, the student government (SGA) is trying to dictate to the university administration.  But not all students agree with the student… Continue reading

  • Still playing the numbers game

     The State of Indiana is now reporting covid positive tests and other stats per 10,000 instead of 100,000.  Just another way to keep those numbers artificially elevated even though they are only reporting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday instead of every weekday now. It just doesn’t stop. Continue reading

  • Oberlin College loses again

    Gibson’s Bakery’s victory against Oberlin College was affirmed by the Ohio Court of Appeals last week.  The article at Legal Insurrection gives a better breakdown but it goes like this: Gibson’s Bakery was constantly the target of shoplifters from Oberlin for years.  They regularly had the student shoplifters arrested.  They caught a black student shoplifting… Continue reading

  • Zed is dead

    Unfortunately this is NOT an April Fool’s joke.  Earlier this week, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba called on the world to “criminalize” the letter ‘Z’, saying that it represents “Russia’s war of aggression.” And the virtue signaling monkeys are doing it–companies from Samsung to Zurich Insurance. And just because…. Continue reading

  • Cognitive degeneration sucks

    Bruce Willis is retiring from acting due to having aphasia.  Apparently this has been an issue for quite a while. Having been close to people with cognitive degeneration, it’s a heartbreaking for those around them and terrifying for those who have it. He’s always been one of my favorite actors and I hate that we’ll… Continue reading

  • A Tale of Two Techs

     MIT has reinstated its SAT requirement for admissions.  On the other coast, Caltech is extending its moratorium on SATs as an admissions requirement for another year.  They had already, pre-Covid, eliminated the two subject SAT requirement. MIT indicates: At the same time, standardized tests also help us identify academically prepared, socioeconomically disadvantaged students who could… Continue reading

  • I honestly thought this was from The Bee

     Howard Stern and a former FBI agent who now works for CNN are both blaming Trump for Will Smith bitch-slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars. From Stern:  “Not one person came out, because he’s Will Smith, this is how Trump gets away with shit,” Stern goes on. “Will Smith and Trump are the same guy.… Continue reading

  • Congratulations to Samuel L. Jackson

     He received a lifetime achievement award Oscar in the ‘untelevised’ portion of the Oscars.  That would have been the only reason I would have watched.  Fortunately some folks caught the high points on video.  Unfortunately his whole acceptance speech isn’t available anywhere I can find. But if you’re interested, follow the link here to see… Continue reading
