Racial Dolezal. Get it? I stole this from Howie Carr. It’s a great pun. The word “race,” denoting lineage, comes from a French translation of haras (silent “h”) into the Italian razza — which in Italian of that time applied to animals, not people. This points to current English and Italian usage being derived and adapted, respectively, from the French.
Why bother? It seems so antithetical to the notion of democracy and the direct contribution that voting makes. How many times have you heard that pithy apothegm that suggests that if you don’t vote you can’t complain? I prefer George Carlin’s version of reality, if you vote you can’t complain.
And who’s paying Mitt for this RT plug? In this latest installment of let’s pick on RT, Mitt Romney laments the fact ck on RT, Mitt Romney laments the fact that he can’t escape this international news network. Really, Mitt?
Define that. Transracial is defined as a “person that is born one race, but can fit into multiple races through their actions. Similar to a transethnic except a transracial does not feel that they are suppose to come from a different ethnicity.” Well, I’m glad I cleared that up for you. You’re welcome.
Here we come . . . walking down the street. It was announced on June 11 that the dark lord himself, Rupert Murdoch, the 84-year-old CEO and controlling shareholder of 21st Century Fox, is preparing to step down as CEO of the media giant and hand that title to his son James, scion of the House of Murdoch. The man’s genius is nonpareil. And that’s not an endorsement of his editorial policy but rather his media domination. A domination, by the by, that gives the professional left something to claim as their platform.
Listen. If you want to curse, fine. Do it with some class. Never as a substitution for wit. Dig? There’s an art to it. But as evidenced by the organically unimaginative and chronically unfunny, lacing a story with gratuitous F-bombs has become the norm. It’s puerile and jejune and extremely low rent. It’s the mainstay of morning zoo-show anachronisms and trite broadcasting swill. Herein, is my disquisition and tribute to the noble art of cursing and cussing. There’s a place for the off-color and scabrous but only if well-timed and deftly placed.
Secret? This year, the Bilderberg Group is meeting from June 11th to June 14th at the Interalpen Hotel which is near the city of Telfs, Austria. Have you heard of it? You’ve heard of Davos and G7 and G8 and Burning Man and The festival of San Fermin, or the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. Right? Of course I’m right.
A threat to order. Cailtlyn Jenner has them running for cover. Why? Because most Americans have the gender (and perhaps now, the gender identity) perspective of a child. Black and white. Manichean. Simple. Apodictic. Clearly drawn. Wrong, Sparky. It’s the particle physics and quantum mechanics of our time. It confounds preconceived notions and beliefs., It will rock the bedrock of common understanding. It demands nuance among a population able to nuance.
Vince Vaughn is my hero. “Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat,” he said. Right on, Double-V. “I support people having a gun in public, full stop, not just in your home,” he told GQ. “We don’t have the right to bear arms because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It’s not about duck hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual.
