Hearty congrats to Kim Ju-ae today, Kim Jong-Un's ten-year-old daughter, as more and more signals point to her selection as North Korea's next "Dear Leader". Now, I know what many of you are thinking: "Oh no! Does this mean that Kim Jong-Un, beloved and beneficient savior of Stalinism, is in bad health?" No no no! Relax. Chill out. There's every reason to assume that he'll be enslaving vile class enemies for years to come. Now we know, however, who will someday take over the reins of Kimdom when Kim Jong-Un goes to frolic with his illustrious ancestors...wherever they happen to be. I, for one, commend the People's Democratic Republic of North Korea for handling the problem of succession with such subtlety and assurance. Our system of elections, by contrast, is so upsetting and chaotic! We could learn a thing or two from the Kims, needless to say.

In other news, what is the news? Why, it's whatever you make of it, of course! Is the "mishandling" of confidential government documents a big deal? That all depends on who's running the newsroom, and who's doing the mishandling...

Did you know that God is "trans"? That's the rising consensus in the Church of England, at any rate. I assume most of my ancestors are turning in their graves, and maybe that's the point. If enough of our ancestors are sufficiently mortified, and enough skeletons start spinning at once, maybe we'll finally discover that perfect and limitless form of "alternative energy" that the lefties have been dreaming of... That's assuming that they haven't been turned into pillars of salt, of course.
Finally, DJT is back on FB and Instagram, which, when you think about it, is ironic. He refuses to tweet, because of his loyalty to his rival social media app, Truth Social, and despite Twitter's massive shift to the political center. Meta, on the other hand, remains in the hands of crazed leftists, and yet Trump has no problem indulging them, and they him. My guess is that this rapprochement won't last long. When the chips are down, Meta and Google will do anything and everything to ensure that someone of Trump's ilk never gets near the White House again.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: Its amusing to see the veritable universe of medals one so often sees on military officers and sometimes their potentates in tin horn dictatorships, as in the picture above. It was said that Santa Anna was constrained to don disguise and descend at night unto the stews to seek recovery of his multitudinous medals which he, in circumstances of drunken debauchery, had yielded to a woman of compromised virtue. But he made up for his faults by inventing chewing gun and establishing a permanent relationship between the Alamo and Doublemint.
ReplyDeleteDr.Waddy from Jack: That notwithstanding, how terrible it is to behold fat, luxurious faces like those of the Kims and their factoti in a country where starvation is a tradition and where, just to the south ( but
ReplyDeleteendless totalitarian imposed leagues away) their countrymen enjoy the decency of material plenty.
Dr.Waddy from Jack: The Church of England appears determined to disgrace itself beyond measure and more compulsive counterintuition is no doubt in store.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Santa Anna invented cheming gum? I had to look that gem up and explore. Seems like he did have a role in introducing the idea of modern, industrialized chewing gum to the American (ha!) who made a fortune on it, but I'm not sure if he really "invented" anything...
ReplyDeleteYes, one wonders what the long-suffering North Koreans make of the Kims and their rolls of fat. Perhaps it's a sign of verility and high status in their (bizarre) culture? Who knows.
Dr.Waddy from Jack:Santa Anna had as bizarre a life as one could imagine but at least he had life, unlike the defenders of the Alamo after he had worked his will on them.
