Let's play a game

 Which of the following is true?

Before a game between the Minnesota Wild and the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night, fans booed "The Star-Spangled Banner."  Being Canadians, they politely waited until the end.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem brought her flamethrower along on an ICE raid in Chicago.


The premiers of Ontario, British Columbia and Nova Scotia announced that they will end all liquor trade with the US, currently amounting to several billion dollars a year.

Wyoming's latest abortion ban bill would also prevent cardiac surgery, chemotherapy and other procedures.

Punxsutawney Phil predicted that winter will last for another four years.

The police chief of Portland, Oregon, finally admitted that the Black Lives Matter protesters shot by a rightwing gunman in 2022 were unarmed.

Tulsi Gabbard belonged to the Science of Identity Foundation in the 1990s but claims she is no longer involved in the cult, even though living god Siddhaswarupananda (a/k/a Chris Butler) officiated at her wedding in 2015.

Selena Gomez has been deported to Mexico.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has learned to replicate itself.  Organic intelligence, still hit or miss.

A first-class ticket from El Paso to Guatemala costs $853 on American Airlines.  A military deportation flight costs in the neighborhood of $4,675 per person, with no meal or in-flight entertainment (or bathroom privileges).  The Department of Government Extravagance (DOGE) had no comment.

The White House is blaming Mayor Cherelle Parker and Governor Josh Shapiro for the Lear Jet air ambulance crash in Philadelphia.

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...

Still alive

 The story so far...on the night of September 26 Hurricane Helene ignored the projections and thundered past Georgia, knocking out electricity.  Power was restored late on the afternoon of September 29, but internet took considerably longer.  Today we gave up on Comcast and shelled out for one of those AT&T hotspot deals, and just like that...well, I feel like Sweeney Todd ("At last, my arm is complete again!").  Thanks to MarkS for your words of concern.   I've spent the last four hours trying to catch up.  I can't decide whether two weeks without internet, cable and even radio has been a vacation or a nightmare.  My impression is that everything is the same only more so, politically speaking, possibly a little more surreal.  Are people really refusing FEMA aid because the cult has convinced them it's a plot to a. channel money to cat-eating Haitians, b. a plot to disguise the Democrats' control of the weather, or c. a plot to distract e...
