Ticket to Ride

The celebs have gotten themselves a “Ticket to Ride” out of the country should Donald J. Trump be elected President.  Will we miss them?  A lot?  Or not so much?  Here’s the rogues gallery.

Vincente Fox – Statesman at Large

Read Politico’s article, “Vicente Fox: Trump turning U.S. back to days of ‘gringo feo’“, and you would think the Mexican-American War had begun anew.

vincente_fox_pinata“Absolutely, yes. And we suffered from that all along the 20th century,” Fox said, mentioning the likes of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, as well as the Perons and the Kirchners of Argentina. “And I’m surprised this nation is going back to the old days of the gringo feo, of the ugly American but also going back to populism.”

But consider.  This so-called “Statesman”, Vincente Fox, calls a US Presidential candidate ‘brainless’, then smashes that candidate’s pinata effigy, and Politico has the chutzpah to quote him about his opinions of “Ugly Americans”?? Now if the shoe was on the other foot and the “Ugly American” candidate was Hillary Clinton, perhaps the story would have been different.

Oh, wait a minute. Hillary left that shoe in a ditch back at the World Trade Center Memorial Service. My bad self.

Daily Darwin – Cable Would Have Been a Better Choice

Darwin says that if you had not been so stubborn and had listened to your wife when she told you to get cable, things would have worked out much better for your genomes.  Happy wife, happy genomes.

Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors

Little Miss TrigglyPuff

Little Miss TrigglyPuff  is still alive and protesting ‘whatever’ again this year on your college and university campuses.

Yesterday we have Brown University’s student body president announcing she will be hand-delivering Universica_Obey_TrigglyPuff_450menstrual products to all nonresidential bathrooms on campus, including men’s rooms, in order to communicate the message that “pads and tampons are a necessity, not a luxury,” and that not all people who menstruate are women.

And today we get the lecture about “micro-aggressions”, “micro-invalidations” and “micro-pin-headisms”.

All this for only $52,000 as year.  No wonder these kids will still be living at home when they’re 35 years old.

Don’t be too disheartened, but check The Daily Callers, “Fancypants College: Equating Hard Work With Success And Saying ‘You Guys’ Are ‘Microaggressions’ Now“.

And here’s a reprise of the One, the Only, the Original Trigglypuff.  Watch.

 

Goat Yoga??

We find there is yet one more way to separate fools from their money.  The Metro tells us, “There’s now a retreat where you can do yoga with goats“.  Goat yoga!  Heh!!

No Regrets Farm in Willamette Valley, Oregon, is now offering people the opportunity to do their daily yoga with goats.

goat_yogaBecause why not?

The Goat Retreat was set up by former professional photographer Lainey Morse, who wanted to start a new business based on her farm.

When a local yoga instructor was searching for a place for her classes, Lainey offered up her farm – along with the goats that live there.

Now, to be clear, the goats don’t actually participate in the yoga. They’re WTF_Goat_Xinggoats. They don’t know how to do downward dog.

The goats are there more for moral support and the weird factor, preventing you from getting bored midway through all that deep-breathing.

 

Hillary Buys Her Blackberries on eBay

Perhaps Hillary is a “Closet Hoarder”.  You know the type:  1) No real relationships,  2) Shops QVC for companionship,  3) Compulsively buys other people’s trash off Ebay so she’ll have more than anyone else,  4) Has 50 cats and uses “Eau de LitterBox” parfume, 5) And is buried under bags upon bags of old emails.

Hillary_Out_Of_EmailsShe could have a documentary filmed–Just like Anthony and Huma did.  Or maybe a Reality Show….

See the Daily Caller story, “Hillary Bought Used BlackBerries On Ebay “.

Hillary Clinton purchased some of the BlackBerries she used as secretary of state on eBay, Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz said on Wednesday.

“That’s what she liked, so she did it. It creates this huge vulnerability. And it’shillary_delete_delete unnecessary,” Chaffetz, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said during a forum hosted by the American Enterprise Institute.

In addition, she should consider ditching the 50 cats. That might help that little coughing up hairballs problem she has going on.

“Crooked Hillary” Moniker Sticks Like Glue

The “Tricky Dicky” Nixon moniker stuck and was reaffirmed by Nixon’s resignation. My theory is that Hillary Clinton owns the handle “Crooked Hillary” and, who knows, if elected, the result could be deja vu all over again. 

Here’s what Glenn Reynolds says in the USA Today’s, “‘Crooked Hillary’ nickname isn’t going away“.

The new FBI information suggests Clinton is either criminal, criminally incompetent or both.

Hillary_NixonDonald Trump likes to call his opponent, Hillary Clinton, “Crooked Hillary.” There’s even a #CrookedHillary hashtag on Twitter. Meanwhile, Hillary seems to be doing her best to make that nickname stick.

When FBI Director James Comey declined to prosecute the former Secretary of State for mishandling classified information, he said that although she was extremely Nixon_Not_A_Crook_Todays_Standardscareless, there was no criminal intent. That was a bit iffy, since the statute governing mishandling of classified information doesn’t require intent. But the new information indicates that Hillary is either criminal, or criminally incompetent. Or maybe both.

Trademarking “I Can’t Recall”

Always looking to make a buck, Hillary’s not going to answer any questions until her trademark on the phrase “I can’t recall” is approved.  Then she’ll not only be able to avoid answering any questions, but she can collect royalties when ever her trademarked phrase is used or infringed upon by others.
