But at least when Joel had his leg amputated he didn’t take it home with him. I’m not sure how much of a thing this is. But I suppose a leg could make a good lamp base.

How many bombs did Mr. Nobel Peace Prize order dropped on how many countries in 2016? Bigger questions (how many did they kill, how necessary were any of them?) aren’t being asked.

Merry Christmas! Really.

One Dem makes one last-ditch effort to stop Trump. (Note the Freudian slip that this newly elected D-WA congressthing is identified as “D-Seattle.” People in rural Washington know all too well the truth in that little goofsie.)

Perhaps not for thee or me, but one family’s thriving in its pretty cob house. Inside a geodesic dome. Within the Arctic Circle. (H/T MtK for this very impressive story)

There will be lots of demonstrations around Trump’s inauguration. None will top this: the DC Cannabis Coalition will give out 4,200 joints, which are to be lit up 4:20 minutes into The Donald’s inaugural address.

Perhaps it’s not much of a loss to the big, wide world, but the Shakers are now down to two members.

Anxiety. It can give your dog gray hair, too.

Who’s the master and who’s the servant again? Texas school principle threatens to arrest parents who walk their kids to school or step foot on school grounds to pick up their kids. Apparently the local law enforcers are on her side. (More detail and parent reaction.) (H/T MtK)

Chortle. Larry Correia fisks another snotty HuffPo opinionator who thinks self-publishing is for dirty little losers.

The WaPo produces another hysterical fake news story (or at least a highly exaggerated news story). Hm. Guess that fake news stuff is really a problem after all.

Yet another fine example of the effectivness of restraining orders and 911 calls.

And yet another fine specimen of David Codrea’s only ones.

Yet another tale of a man who couldn’t get government ID because of government bureaucracy.

You thought Sen. Joe Manchin was a traitor because he wants the feds to have power to prevent all gun transfers? So did I. But fact is, the man is too stupid to be a traitor.

That photographer in Turkey who captured the murder of the Russian ambassador was amazingly brave, dedicated, and good at his job. You can debate whether the photos were in good taste, but you can’t deny his sheer guts.

From Dana in comments: the story of Pinchas Rosenbaum, who disguised himself as a Nazi to save Jews in Hungary.

Sigh of relief. That damned election is finally, finally over. And of course Trump won. Despite death threats to electors. Despite Russians hiding under every bed. Despite the media being the media. Despite four out of 12 Washington state electors going rogue. And despite one valiant Texan casting an electoral college v*te for Ron Paul. Can we talk about something else now?

If you’e old and don’t want to die before your time get a female doctor, sez some new and highly sexist research. (Do you think NPR would be running this story if the research concluded that male doctors were superior?)

I shall return

Published December 19, 2016 10:10 am by Claire

I had a social evening last night (though the friend who invited me would laugh at my idea of “social”), followed by a slice of too-sweet cake. This morning I need to recuperate. And give impatient Ava a later-than-usual walk. So while you wait for me to return and be stunningly brilliant* have a cute & funny dog & cat video. —– * Your wait will be much shorter if you merely expect me to return, which I shall try to do later today.

Dear scientists: please be careful when you edit those genes. A “bad” gene may also be a great and necessary gene.

Kevin D. Williamson on the left’s silly obsession with people they wrongly believe to be obsessed with Ayn Rand. (Note: Contains one of the most hilarious and true remarks ever made about “professional libertarians.”)
