I report -- you decide

 Tell me what it means.  Please.

A judge ruled that Barbers Hill High School (Barbers Hill?) in Mont Belvieu, Texas, can discipline Darryl George for wearing his hair in locs.  If he did not, it would violate their no-hair-over-the-collar policy.  In North Carolina an elementary school forced two boys to cut their hair although their mother said it is part of Waccamaw Siouan heritage.  I can find no references to white boys being told to "lose the mullet," but I'll keep looking.

Professional bowling has been largely scandal-free, but that's all over.  Brandon Novak was arrested by US marshals in the middle of the US Open and charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, i.e., kiddie porn.  Didn't even let him finish the frame.  

It's generally agreed that this year's Major League Baseball uniforms suck mightily.  See if you can guess why.


Trump went to the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville and began speaking in tongues.  Too much gibberish to quote, but at one point he mispronounced "evangelical" and took credit for making Israel the capital of Israel.  If Biden had done that, etc., etc.

Vindication at last for John Shakespeare!  The twelve shillings he paid to the Stratford City Council in 1552 was not a fine for littering but an ordinary charge for removing his heap of discarded leather (he was a glove-maker).  Now can we move on?

Beyonce's "Texas Hold 'Em" is the Number One country record even though many stations refuse to play it.  And now she has the support of Dolly Parton:  "Congratulations on your Billboard Hot Country Number 1 single.  Can't wait to hear the full album!"  Parton released her first rock album last year.  American music is crossover music, so shut up about "cultural appropriation" and all that.  

Alabama senator Tommy Tuberville was asked about the Alabama Supreme Court's ruling on IVF.  He thinks people should have "the opportunity to have more kids," pretty much the opposite of what the ruling would bring about.  Then he tried a little tap-dance:  "I think the big thing is right now you protect -- you go back to the situation and try to work it out to where it's best for everybody.  I mean that's what -- that's what the whole abortion issue is about."  He did not seem to understand what IVF means, probably confusing it with DEI or BLM or PDRK.  Come back next week and try again, Coach.

Elsewhere in Trumplandia, Charlie Kirk wants to execute Trump's opponents and "woke" theater people on television.  He wants Coca-Cola to sponsor them.  That is all.

That is all.  Please leave.

I hate the poorly educated...

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Going out of business

 With polls sounding a death knell and red-hats leaving his rallies like they left the oven on, Trump has dimly seen his future.  That's why Trumpworld is holding a sale on all Bibles, gold sneakers (pre- and post-assassination styles), Victory47 cologne ("My eyes!  My eyes!") and the limited-edition Trump diapers: Get a jump on your Christmas shopping and remember who made it possible to say "Merry Christmas" again with a fabulous  Trump Victory Tourbillon watch,  only $100,000.  Three colors, 122 diamonds, only 147 available.  Or a shoddier version for $499 if you're impoverished by Bidenomics.  Profits will not go to the campaign, the website says, and when has Trump ever lied? "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress -- but I repeat myself," said Mark Twain, who died in 1910, so maybe it's always been this way.   Tommy Tuberville,  football's worst mistake, thinks Kamala Harris should drop out of the...

Full disclosure

 With Trump and his silk pajamas in recess, the political story of the day must be  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,  sharing the story that a worm crawled into his brain, ate some of it and died.  The New York Times says it obtained a deposition from his 2012 divorce case and came across this nugget.  At the time of the parasite's discovery, doctors said he also had mercury poisoning, probably from eating a lot of fish.  In the deposition Kennedy says, "I have short-term memory loss and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me."  At least he doesn't blame the worm on vaccines.  Even before his stalking horse earned the nickname Worm Brain, things were going Trump's way.  His boutique judge  Aileen Cannon  postponed indefinitely the stolen documents case that mean old Jack Smith is waiting to present because she has to study eight pending motions from the defense and she's just stumped by their  "novel and difficult questions." ...
