CHEAP AT TWICE THE PRICE

We got to watch another city trashed by progressives and liberal elite (poor branch) and it suddenly struck me that this is an overpopulation problem and one of the best ways to treat that is with culling. So, there's going to be a riot, massive demonstrations are planned, stores looted, cars burned, people beaten to within an inch of their lives and what do the police do to prepare? Right. You got it.

So, instead, you, Joe Citizen, could buy a protest tag. It's good for one protester. You can buy as many as you like, there's a no-bag limit and at $5.00 a pop, you could shoot a whole lot of lib/progs out on the town having their riot. You don't even have to take the meat!

Win Win! And it enhances city revenues although maybe the county or state governments would like to get involved. You know how they are about preserving the wolves and things like that.

Srsly,

Germans expressed anger on Sunday over violence that hit a G20 world leaders' summit in Hamburg, raising awkward questions for Chancellor Angela Merkel less than three months before an election. 

About 20,000 police struggled to contain several hundred anti-capitalist militants who torched cars, looted shops and hurled Molotov cocktails and stones during the July 7-8 summit. Tens of thousands more people demonstrated peacefully. 

Overall, 476 officers suffered injuries ranging from cuts and firework burns to eye damage from laser pointers. Police said on Sunday they had arrested 186 people and took 225 into custody.

CLEFT STICK

The forces of order have gotten themselves into a cleft stick. Nobody trusts them or fears them anymore. They created the space they occupy.  I spent a bit of time today looking into the abyss. It's easy to jump in and damnably hard to get out of. You really don't want to go there. WRT our uniformed goons who, other than the military, are way beyond any and all reproach, like Hillary, I'd invite your attention to WACO. Just google it. Why are all the bikers in jail and none of the people that burned little kids to death?

For our fallen I'd offer this. They were all good men.



It really is our job to decide who the good guys are. The police never feel any responsibility to eliminate the killers from their ranks. They still don't. They never will. I live in MetroParkCentralis. We will shortly be joined by all the goons that want to riot peacefully, burn down the city peacefully and get away with murder. The forces of order are going to enjoy that. What, after all, could go wrong?

SHIP JOCKEYS OF THE APOCALYPSE

The Navy is ordered to find new words to call sailors and the race is on! Let no man call me flatfooted in my efforts to hasten the day when we no longer use such archaic and outmoded terms as helmsman. There is the honor of the fleet at stake.

Helmsman            =     Shipjockey
Lee Helmsman     =     Spare
Seaman                 =     Swabbie
Fireman                =     Firestarter
Airman                 =     Zoomie
Construction man =    Tooljockey
Engine man          =    Dominator- I suppose one could be a Dominatrix
Legalman             =     Learned Counsel
Fire control man  =     Miss
Signalman            =     Flags
Yeoman               =     Whatever
Jack of the Dust  =      Jack or Jill

So many ratings have been merged over the last 30 years I don't know if there are any others.

THE GATHERING STORM

I can't recall where I found this but it was mislabeled. The caption said something about hearing music you don't like but find impossible not to move to. I decided it more closely resembled the moment just after the arms are crossed and the toe tapping starts. Stand by for heavy weather.

Not Happy

Your position has been established. That's literally the lashing of the tail prior to the pounce. From the excellent book, Ringworld by Larry Niven, "Louis Wu, I found your challenge verbose. In challenging a kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap."
