Nailed It!

So they've just come out with the 2023 list of most annoying people.

And who are right at the top?

Harry & Meghan, of course.

And all they want is to be left alone.....

And I didn't realize it, but they are mad, very mad, at South Park for doing a parody of them.

And South Park nailed it with their episode.


"The Worldwide Privacy Tour"

Ha ha.

'nuff said......

...signing up for paperless billing...

...and they send you....paper.

And The Hypocrisy Just Keeps On Coming


In follow-up to the post from last Wednesday about the UN holding their climate emergency gabfest in an oil kingdon  [click Here for a refresher] where they told the US it must cut its meat consumption - and as foretold by the crack team of Arnotti Thoughts researchers - guess what is on the menu?



The article went on to describe all the delicious meat offerings at the climate summit.

And you wonder why nobody takes these goofs seriously......

A New Twist....

 ....of the knife.

With Christmas just around the corner, nice to remember favourite gifts of yor.


Remember Hersey's Pot of Gold?  Mmmm.....

Well, here it is today.


Some folks are calling it the Pot 'o Plastic.

That's called "shrinkflation".  And they thought we wouldn't notice.

But they're not the only ones.....


Remember After Eight mints?


Sheesh.....

You Can't Make This Stuff Up - Part ???

 



COP-28 is being held in.......Dubai.  

And the host for this gab fest is.....Dr. Sultan al-Jaber, CEO of the state-owned oil company of the United Arab Emirates.

Of course!

And remember, all those climate crusaders, John Kerry, Leo DiCaprio, likely Harry & Megs, will be flying in on their private Gulfstreams.

The BBC already got a hold of leaked documents from the confab about a side deal with China.

And the UN just issued a proclamation stating that the US must cut down on its meat consumption.

Hmmm...wonder what's on the menu at COP28?


And the hypocrisy is certainly not lost on cartoonists....

Damn!

 


....those guys looked good.

Travolta & Stallone.  

But we all did, 50 years ago!

Do The Emperors Have No Clothes?

 


Do these two clowns not see what everyone else sees?

They claim to be leading advocates of changing your lifestyle to become carbon neutral. 

In fact, in 2021 they made a public pledge to be carbon neutral by 2030.

To support that pledge, of course they hopped on a private Gulfstream jet - owned by an oil & gas heir! - for a 40 minute flight to Sin City to attend a Katy Perry concert.


And they wonder why;

  • people don't take them seriously
  • can't stand them
  • can't stand any of these hypocrites like Leo Dicaprio & John Kerry, who wag their fingers at you to live a feudal existence while they spew CO2 in your face.
Okay, who else is pissing me off?

Oh yeah, these progressive white women who are converting to Islam to support Palestinians when they would rarely, if ever, be allowed outside without their fathers, husbands or older sons if they actually lived over there.  And let's not even start to talk about their treatment of the LGBTQ+ community.

Oh sorry, I meant I'm pissed off at the Leafs.

You Can't Make This Stuff Up - Part Deux

 


This is a follow up to another example of tone deaf politicians. 

Click here for a reminder....


According to the article, this was only one department's costs at the three day "affordability retreat" in Prince Edward Island - because none of the others responded to the information request.

Apparently Trudeau and 38 cabinet ministers - and associated staff!  - also attended.

The theme for the retreat: find solutions to Canada's affordability crisis.

The irony escapes them.

But since they came away with no concrete plans, I read some where they know what the problem is; they should have stayed longer!

 Maybe now is a good time to re-post this Pearls Before Swine strip.

Fairly good commentary for what's happening now in our crazy world. [click to zoom in]

Unbridled Joy - Part Deux

 


No cheerleader's legs this time, but still unbridled joy when the guy in the middle caught a game winning touchdown.

Feel The Bern - And Miss The Irony

Bernie Sanders has a new book out.  

"It's Okay To Be Angry About Capitalism"



In it, he rails against unfettered capitalism, that he calls uber-capitalism. 

He takes aim at many large corporations, but saves his biggest bullets for Amazon.  And founder Jeff Bezos.

He blames Amazon "for exhibiting unlimited greed and abusing its wealth and power to tear our society apart".

Strong stuff.  The book, understandably, is getting mixed reviews.


Oh, and where can you get a copy of Bernie's book?

On Amazon, of course.  No hypocrisy there.....

He's what called a "Champagne Socialist".

It Was Only A Metter Of Time

 


I like the Evading Arrest Obstacle Course in which Florida Men jump over fences and through yards while being chased by real police officers.

Yeeha, good buddy.

And, of course, "gator possessing", whatever that is....like a pet?

How Far Is It To Flee Gaza?

I believe the Israelis gave the Gazans, or more specifically residents of Gaza City, 24 hours to flee south.

That doesn't sound like much time to flee from one end of the country to the other.

Two, three days?



But how big is the Gaza Strip anyway?

Well, here's a map of Toronto.


From the northeast corner of Scarborough to the southwest end of Etobicoke it's 36 km's.


Here is the same map with the Gaza Strip superimposed on top.


Holy cow.  It is one kilometre longer, top to bottom, than Toronto.   37 km's.

So for fleeing, I guess if you actually had a car, it could take about half an hour.

In Toronto, at rush hour - which is every hour - it would take about an hour and a half.. And that's avoiding the 401. 

Of course we rarely have to worry about getting shelled, shot or hitting a landmine.

I think I'd choose the Toronto commute... 😐
