Racism is bad, but not everything bad is racist.


Boy, you have a lot to learn.

So the Babylon Bee is reporting real news now?  When did that change?
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I think it was about 1984.
Sometimes we carry more weight then we owe.
And sometimes goes on and on and on.

Woke Polar Bear Apologizes For Being White
https://babylonbee.com/news/woke-polar-bear-apologizes-for-being-white?utm_content=bufferfdb34&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Quote
The bear "got woke" after a leftist protesting the zoo for keeping animals in captivity bravely leaped into the bear's exhibit. After eating the protester, the polar bear picked up the book on critical race theory the woman had in her pocket and devoured it, first figuratively, then literally.

Teachers Refusing To Go Back In The Fall Launch 'Every Child Left Behind' Movement
https://babylonbee.com/news/teachers-refusing-to-go-back-in-the-fall-launch-all-kids-left-behind-movement/?utm_content=buffer34273&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Quote
Teachers across the nation expressed their utmost thanks to the taxpayers and assured them that this was money well spent. “I am much more productive as a teacher thanks to the Every Child Left Behind movement. Now I can go run errands as I please and instead of grading papers I can binge Netflix!”

At publishing time, the teacher’s union was planning a series of strikes to continue the Every Child Left Behind movement until a cure for all sickness and death was found.

The Cali DMV may require you to listen to a Greta sermon before leaving you alone.   =)

BEN:
I was just about to ask about that.  Apparently, they're almost done with you, but time will tell.

And IIRC, because of interstate agreements, they can still zing you on your new State's licensing and registration, yes?  No?

From what I can tell, they are done with me. It took a couple of letters fore each vehicle, but I think it's done. If I don't get a demand to renew registration in FEB, then I should be in the clear.

Gas lighting and financial blackballing a satire publication.  Tells you what they consider a threat.

Is Kubrick still around? They'll need him to fake the new, amphibious moon landing.

No, he passed on a number of years ago.

At least that's the official story ...
