It's high time the God-fearing USAF bombed a little decency into those Godless commies

The anti-China rhetoric in US media is downright scary. We're in high Yellow Peril dudgeon!

If nothing else, this artificial hate campaign serves to take the eye off the unseemly haste with which America's ruling elite stuffed their pockets at the public trough under the guise of "helping the people."

Oh, they're helping "the people" alright...

At least their own people. The rich.


I was walking old Boomer on the Kinch Sideroad this morning. It's one of those country non-roads that's been subject to "no maintenance" signage since the Kinch family moved away thirty years ago or so. Their old house is slowly collapsing on itself.

There's a big old Dodge 4X4 coming the other way. I respectfully step six feet off the road to allow it to pass. Instead of passing, the driver stops and rolls down the window. It's a couple, maybe late fifties, early sixties, and the first words out of the driver's mouth were, "we're really bored!"

No shit, pal!

Anyway, we had a nice chat about hunting and fishing in the neighbourhood. The last thing he said as he was pulling away was, "I'm thinking maybe we went a little overboard on this Covid stuff."

Indeed, but that's not something you're allowed to say in polite company these days.

If you're getting a little bored with your own coronavacation, here's some recreational reading for you. I haven't vetted every last detail, but as far as I can tell, those experts and their quotes are real.

Stay safe, stay sane.

It's a great time for that school trip to Europe!

In an unintended act of irony and resistance, just as Donald Trump was announcing a thirty day freeze on flights from Europe, a bus was pulling away from the local high school, taking a couple dozen students and their chaperones to the Toronto Airport.

Destination? Dublin, London, and Paris!

What could go wrong?!


---------------------
PS Much as I hate to let facts interfere with a good yarn, the students were back in town by 3 this morning. Apparently someone at the Palace of Wisdom in Chesley asked themselves what could go wrong, and pulled the plug as the students were boarding their flight.

An embarrassment of riches...

There's plenty of folks I know who would consider this a dream scenario; the doctor says you gotta spend at least 23 hours a day on the couch with your head down. No work, no nothing. Just stay on the couch. Keep your head parallel to the ground, and don't point your eyeballs to the ceiling.

Been there, still doing it, and while I'm reluctant to look a gift horse in the mouth, a thirty day sentence to the couch is not the dream you'd think it was.

First of all, you get really tired of your own company, really fast. They say it's good to spend some time with your own thoughts, but holy shit.... after about twenty minutes of that I'm absolutely desperate for a fresh perspective.

One of the youngsters turned me on to podcasts. Sure, that helps, but 23 hours a day is a lot of time to fill.

You can stand your laptop on it's side and watch docs sideways. It's a crime what those hedge-fund sharpies did to those pensioners in Germany. And apparently there's still some controversy over the JFK assassination. I wouldn't know that if I didn't have 23 hours a day to watch documentaries on my laptop. Sideways.

Anyway, my eyeball pressure seems to be trending in the right direction. The vision in the "bad" eye is still horrendously bad, but better than it was two weeks ago. I've talked to a few folks who have survived retina surgery, including my brother Jeff. They can all see out of both eyes, which gives me hope.

I'm scheduled to have a checkup at the Ivey Eye Institute on Friday the 13th. That's the 30th day since my surgery, so I can properly drive myself to the appointment, as far as I know.

Hmm... driving seven hours on one eye on Friday the 13th?... 


Good thing I'm not prone to superstitions!

Coronavirus 14 - 24 Nashville Tornado

But guess which one gets all the news coverage!

This "pandemic" has been building into something big for about three months now. America missed the early fear-mongering because all eyes were riveted on Trump's impeachment. Remember that? Yup, the walls were closing in on Trump, again, like they've been since 2016. We now know how that ends...

When there's this much baloney being tossed about for so little reason (remember, ordinary non-newsworthy flu takes the lives of 12 to 80 thousand Americans per year), I figure there's a reason for it.


Time to dust off Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine and have another read.

Glenn Beck; way scarier than the coronavirus

Move over KKK, the BBB is coming to town! That would be Bernie's Bolshevik Brownshirts, according to Glenn Beck.

Don't be fooled. These folks aren't socialists, let alone "democratic" socialists. No, they're hardcore Marxist revolutionaries! Not only that, but they have guns and molotov cocktails, and pipe-bombs and stuff!

But do not despair. The forces of righteousness, led by Donald J Trump, have courage and truth on their side...


See what I mean? What would you rather do; self-quarantine for a couple of weeks and hope the coronavirus passes, or listen to Beck's entire 44 minute speech at CPAC the other day?

The coronavirus hoax

This alleged coronavirus epidemic has hogged the headlines for about a week now. The first four or five minutes of every CBC news report is coronaviruscoronaviriscoronavirus.

Then you'll inevitably meet one or two experts between the hourly newscasts whose job it is to fan the flames of this alleged epidemic. This afternoon they had a guy on who mentioned that the coronavirus doesn't seem any more infectious or deadly than your standard flu.

Hmm... well, we don't consider your standard flu newsworthy. Why not? According to stats from the Center for Disease Control, your regular garden variety flu which comes around every year in "flu season," has killed between 12,000 and 80,000 people, just in the US, every year since 2010.

So far coronavirus has claimed just over a hundred people, all in China. How does that rank as a global health emergency?

We're told that this is the deadliest outbreak since SARS, which at least got Toronto a Stones concert. That too was a massively over-hyped media confection.

Total deaths worldwide from SARS? Under a thousand.

So relax, folks!
