                1. That’s why the Pern stories are fiction. You get that many real dragons living together, you get plenty of dead dragons. [Big Dragon Frown]

                    1. True Dragons aren’t limited to this small world you call Earth.

                      The Pern Dragons being “social” beings and putting up with humans is just more reasons why the Pern Stories are fiction. :wink:

                    2. More evidence that the Pern stories are fiction.

                      Anne McCaffrey was embarrassed to hear from some of her fans who ran the figures on how much meat that her dragons would have to eat to survive.

                      Apparently, the number and size of her dragons would mean that her dragons would completely eaten up all of the meat that the planet could supply in a very very short time. :twisted:

        1. “If we can pay farmers not to grow crops, why can’t we have a program to pay lawyers not to make more laws.”

          1. I don’t remember who it was, but in some government oversight hearing an executive from IBM (I think) was asked, “If your computers work, why do you keep making changes to them?”

            He turned it back brilliantly: “After two hundred years, why are you still passing more laws?”

  8. I got the Kafka one as soon as I saw it. I think this means I need to stop reading German literature. (I detested “The Metamorphosis.” Der Prozess [The Trial] gave me cold chills, and that was back in 19muttermutter.)

    2. Same. I hate Kafka’s writing with unrestrained fervor. (Yet I’ve never met an English teacher that didn’t love it; one more piece of evidence that my attempt to enter that profession back in the day was…misguided.)

      2. Yeah, get a load of that 4th paragraph:

        The motivation behind many of these calls is not to negate constitutional rights…

        –
        Bullshit. That is exactly the motivation. Your rights are in the way of their totalitarian wet dreams, and the 2nd Amendment is the only one they truly fear. Without that one, they can ‘negate’ everything else and what are you going to do about it? Protest? You don’t have the right to protest! Shut up, prole!

      3. “Oh look. Target rich environment.” Said no one toting a gun illegally intending to kill anyone. Thought it. But probably didn’t say it.

        Anyone firing on someone in a fit of road rage (one reason being pointed to by that slush for brains idiot governor), whether they killed someone or not, is someone that had their gun rights already legally removed for another reason.

        1. I remember how the first defensive shoot after Texas adopted shall-issue was in a case of road rage: The enraged one was unarmed and was beating the crap out of the CCW holder when the CCW holder shot him.

          (Beating the CCW holder to within the proverbial inch of his life, and if he hadn’t been stopped, I would have expected the last inch to go too. It was a rightful shoot, and the only criticism was that the CCW holder may have waited too long.)

      4. I keep thinking that New Mexico was better off when the governors were just cash-corrupt, not power drunk. To paraphrase Chesterton, tyrants and robber barons sleep or grow sated. Do-gooders never rest and cannot be satisfied.

        (Note that government corruption in NM is bipartisan, multi-ethnic, and goes back to territorial days. See the “Santa Fe Ring” for details.)

        1. That was a C. S. Lewis comment.

          Quote from: THE HUMANITARIAN THEORY OF PUNISHMENT, found in GOD IN THE DOCK by C. S. Lewis

          Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        2. I recall a fellow (Russ Feingold) in WI running on “the incumbent is crooked” platform. His ads were brilliant… but the ‘crook’ (if he was..) only stole thousands. Feingold voted to WASTE BILLIONS. The ONLY time Russ was worth the powder to blow him to bits was when he voted against the (not at all) PATRIOT ACT.

        I suspect she jumped the gun, just a bit, thus also jumped the shark.

        The scripted chorus from the left suggests to me that this was ill timed, not ill executed. Perhaps we shall see this again, around October or November, when an instant “insurrection” is more useful.

        Of course, she could just be the designated distraction, scheduled to cover the Brandon predictable fiasco in Vietnam.

        They will now try to run the clock, so in 30 days they can say “moot” to further judicial review.

        Note that SCOTUS doesn’t have to follow “moot” for anything. They can, and have, disregarded it to rule on key items.

    1. Bud Light, too, for different reasons.

      Well, same reasons really, but additional different reasons. I have no idea what MD 20/20’s parent company’s politics are, nor do I particularly care, as A) I don’t drink and ii) even when I did that stuff was nastier than bathtub gin.

      2. I had some of the very last Thunderbird. “Delightful”? NO. It was low-end white wine. Not horrifically bad, but not all that good. I can see where it being inexpensive (CHEAP) it could be readily overindulged in, and thus gain a Reputation. I can say it will not be missed. There are other inexpensive wines, and most are at least slightly better.

  23. ‘Machiavelli’ there needs to cultivate a more positive attitude. It’s not that the government doesn’t care, they positively want you to suffer & die.

    How does Donald Trump get four Stalinist show trials? Seven if you count the bogus impeachments and the January 6th inquisition hearings.
