Culture

I’ve been thinking about putting up a new antenna for my HF radio and did a Google search to see what was available in the way of masts. A hit came up for Home Depot which carried the Channel Master – Universal 25 ft. Indoor/Outdoor Telescoping Mast. Picking up a mast at Home Depot would be quick and easy so I clicked on the link and here is what I found in the description…

Just incredible. We’ve gotten to a point where using the term ‘guy wire’ apparently isn’t inclusive enough so we have to call them ‘person wires’ instead. I wonder what moron made this decision. These people are just frigging insane.

Next time I go to the supermarket I’m going to check out the cookie aisle and if I find they’re selling lady fingers I’m going to lodge a complaint.

The above graphic was a headline in an article published on the New York Times website today.  Note the subheading:

“One man is building a house so enormous, and so absurdly lavish, that it may be the ultimate symbol of our age of thirst, excess and inequality.”

They couldn’t focus on the architectural achievement, or the number of people that will be employed building this house and maintaining it after it’s built.  Instead they had to go for the class envy angle.

To the leftist crazies it’s always about jealousy; if someone has more that someone else it’s just not fair.  They don’t care if the person that has more, has more because they’ve worked harder, took bigger risks or were more careful about they way that they handled their money.  They feel the money should be redistributed and given to those that don’t have it.  Most of the time the people that are preaching this, live in expensive houses, have expensive cars and live a life style far nicer than the vast majority of the country.  Sadly, they seem unable to see their hypocrisy.

There was an article in the Boston Herald yesterday about the new tax cut, which it turns out will give just about everyone a tax break.  Of course in the comments, some leftist shrew was going on and on about how unfair it was that the rich were getting more money back than the poor.  It didn’t matter to her that the rich were already paying three times as much on every dollar that they earned than the poor.  Nope.  She was just filled with hate and revulsion for anyone that had more than what she believed was their fair share.  Maybe she should spend more time working and earning more than just stewing in her jealousy.

The leftist elites play a dangerous game with their class envy thing.  If you get enough people to believe this garbage, we could end up like Venezuela where a once wealthy county has recently introduced a ‘Rabbit Plan’, that encourages people to eat their pet rabbits as a way to work around the food shortage created by their socialist policies.

Capitalism may not be fair, but it works and gives the majority of people the best chance of living a decent life.  Socialism on the other hand is great if you want to create a lot of people that are poor but equal.

I got pulled into one of those click-bait slide shows this morning showing pictures of stars “like you’ve never seen them.” One of the pictures was of a Yvonne Craig who played Bat Girl in the 60’s television series Batman. She was quite lovely, curvy in all the right places and was wearing a bikini showing off her killer body. Being a guy, I was curious if she ever posed nude so I did a Google search. Somehow I ended up typing Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster from the Munster’s TV show) instead of Yvonne Craig while doing the search.

Who knew there was such a thing a Munster’s porn?

While somewhat disturbing, some of it was actually quite creative; featuring the various members of the Munster family involved in all sorts of sexual situations.

It always amazes me that no matter what you can think of, someone, somewhere will think that it’s a good candidate for a pornographic treatment. I guess it’s true when they say “it takes all kinds.”

The title, “Horrifying video shows California cop shooting man SEVEN TIMES outside a 7-Eleven after suspect grabbed the officer’s magazine” leads one to believe the cop had just purchased a copy of “Field and Stream’ from the local Seven Eleven. In reality, if you read the article, you learn it was a gun magazine that was grabbed. Huge difference.

I would think the editors would want a more accurate title, but I guess making it sensational gets them more hits.

That was the comment I attempted to post on the UK Daily Mail website but of course it was never published. I guess they can’t have any decent from the riff-raff and anyway, everyone knows you mustn’t let reality get in the way of a good story.
