The Mid-Week Memery
Because everyone need a Hump Day Helper on Day One without federally-funded NPR
Looks like Congress has completed the double-play: First they defunded Planned Parenthood in the OBBB, and with last night’s vote, they have defunded NPR and PBS.
You know that old feminist joke that a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle? Yeah—it was an early indication of the humorlessness of feminism, because That’s. Not. Funny. Anyway, I’m tempted to say that a day without NPR is like a day without a dentist drilling out one of your molars.
For people of a certain age, back in the 1980s I used to quip: “How do liberals get their first indication a Soviet ‘leader’ has died? They hear solemn music on National Public Radio.” (There’s something to this, and it is the reason I put Soviet “leader” in scare quotes. The mainstream media always referred to the head Russian Commie as the “leader” of the Soviet Union, and never used the accurate word dictator. Of course, America’s non- or semi-democratic allies like Franco or Marcos of the Shah were always called “dictator,” or “strongman” or something. Again, file it among the countless reasons to hate our fake news media.
I’m traveling again mid-week this week, so I don’t otherwise have a lot of new written material to share today. But lots coming over the next few days! In the meantime, speaking of our garbage media, you owe it to yourself to take in the Babylon Bee’s “How CNN Reported Seven Famous Assassinations Through History.”
So for this morning, though, let’s just get down to our mid-week revelry.
Awesome collection, O King o' The Memes! The one about the paint and the canvas really hits home. Quote by the writer, Max Cossack, who sometimes eats spaghetti stripped to the waist (though hardly ever with company present): "Without SHOUT laundry spot remover, life itself would be impossible."
