MFT in Boston

AA and Tecs, I arrive in Boston on June 11, at 8:35PM. AA, send me an e-mail asap so we can make arrangements.

On Pepe's dime

Charly's tax euros hard at work. Finally, finally, some good use comes of it, by letting the Nanny State take care of moi. Though, I must say, I was totally underwhelmed by the TGV--supposedly the crown jewel of Frenchie technology. Unlike the lowliest Greyhound bus on a dingy run to Albany, this train has no WiFi--the horror, the horror! I mean, duh -- when will Charly pay up to install free WiFi everywhere? It's a basic human right, no? And, to add insult to injury, there was no juice in those Frenchie plugs. The TGV guy says it's due to an electrical malfunction. Man, oh, man. Charly, I think this is what happens when you don't pay enough taxes. I'm waiting for Dutch to increase your tax rate to 75%, and then perhaps -- perhaps -- they'll figure out how to get current flowing in those fancy choo-choo trains.

La Maquina Infernal

Mariano Rajoy [..] can only lament. "Europe has to come up with an answer because we can't go on like this for long," he said. It is hard to imagine Isabela I using such language; or Juan Cortes, who brought down the Aztec Empire with a few hidalgos by sheer grit and astucia.

Fritz no more

A big man is gone. Heard him give a (1.5 hours) talk a month ago: olden goldies about signature and stuff. Kind of stooped, but otherwise doing OK, seemed to me. We then went to a bar; I had several mojitos, he drank a glass of red wine. I reminded him of the time we went hiking in the Golan Heights, and then had some St Peter's fish by the Sea of Galilee. I figured I'll say bye before I go, but it didn't happen. Time flies, eh?

The Long Arm of AmeriSoc....snatches food from the mouth of Babes

When a Minnesota Mommy meets a Commie telling her not to eat the Rye
Da Evil Slacker and Reactionary Minnesota Mommy
Da Heroic and Progressive Amerisoc Guy

California goes Greek

.. while Greece goes full Pepe with its head up its ass:
There is a school of thought that says the Germans are bluffing. They need Greece and will never throw us out of the eurozone. But what will happen, which is almost certain, is they will not give us the money to pay our debts. We will be in wild bankruptcy, out-of-control bankruptcy. The state will not be able to pay salaries and pensions. This is not recognised by the citizens.  
Duhhh...

One "Coinkydink" Too Many?

A Series of Unfortunate Events
Let's see: Breitbart drops dead, with no prior sign of illness or distress, at age 43, walking home the evening before he had scheduled the first of a series of revelations as to Barack's background [particularly on his youth and in his presumed path through higher education and in his connections with both the CPUSA and the Saudi sponsored "scholarships" that greased his way]. To alleviate suspicion as to his death the Coroner's office in LA carries out an autopsy which ends up reporting that" [a] There were no traces of drugs [b] Slight traces of alcohol [c] Some incipient heart disease ...and [d] that he died of "heart failure". Okey dokey....we'll ignore how the report ignored the question of what caused his heart to fail. After all, "incipient" means "advanced", or 'serious", eh?....The science is settled, and we do capisce what Pepe means by that phrase. ..... ...But then we find out that a member of the examination team, who apparently had contested the conclusion, is poisoned to death on the evening of the publication of the report. ....Now that, as Chicago would say, is one fucking hell of big fucking Coinkydink. Truly impressive; how the Odds are always in thy favor, O Obamakles.
