- I’ve read both versions, and I have to say that President Biden’s latest speech flows better in the original German.
- Now that the New Year is here, Louisville has reverted to its normal gray, chilly, and wet state. I’m just hoping that we get enough rain to flush a good chunk of the city into the river.
- We’d have to do something about what that would do to the innocent people living downstream, but I think the loss of the Orifice on the Ohio would make up for it.
- With the upcoming ‘change’ in leadership of the NRA, I wonder what the preferred executive clothing line will be. My money’s on either Carhartt, for those who want to appeal to the grass roots at photo shoots between cocktail parties in Aspen, or Hugo Boss, for those who want to just be honest about their desire to curb stomp any competition for power or dissident thought.
- I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, the best way to stop illegal immigration is to prosecute the companies and organizations that regularly employ illegal labor. Walls and border guards are all good, but the day after you perp walk the head of Tyson Chicken after you charge him with human trafficking, that problem will start to solve itself.
- I think the Israeli government missed a PR trick when they failed to name their Gaza operation “Dinah Vengeance.” For those who missed that one, Dinah was the daughter of Jacob. He was going to marry her into a neighboring family, but the supposed groom decided to rape her instead. To make up for this crime, Jacob asked that all of the men in the offending family be circumcised. While they were recuperating, Jacob’s twelve sons crept into the village and killed them all to avenge their sister’s honor.
- The patriarch wasn’t too happy about this, but you can be sure that nobody ever messed with his family’s women ever again.
- It’s all about setting expectations and sending a message.
- I’ve heard some shrill reportage that North Korean and Iranian missiles and drones are being used in Ukraine. Some see this as a way for Putin to bolster his flagging materiel situation. I see it as a way for us to get battlefield performance data on the best that those two shitholes can produce.

Thought for the Day
The Gospel of Saint John, Chapter 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Merry Something!
My wife has a rather twisted sense of humor.
It’s what kept us together and off of the news for so many years.
