Beowulf

Oppo — Wed, 20 May 2026 19:00:00 +0000

I never read Beowulf — as far as I remember. If I did, the fact that I don’t remember says something.

Now I think I would, because of this guy’s description of it on the web:

The first 100 lines are basically “I’m going to tell you a story of this guy. He murders his way up and down the coast until everyone pays him to stop; that was a great king! Also, he had kids; this is the story of how his wealth got them in trouble.”

Imagine Hollywood effects and celebrity actors, and it might be an enjoyable read!

(In the comic strip “Tumbleweeds,” there was a newspaper editor who took exactly that approach.)

In the comic strip “The Washington Post”:

DOJ sees fallout after push to prosecute former FBI director James Comey
Washington Post via MSN | May 9, 2026 | Perry Stein

… Others [sic] prosecutors have voluntarily decamped or scrambled to find new jobs, fearful they could be asked to work on cases that violate their principles, according to 10 current and former prosecutors familiar with the office and the case. Major cases, including one involving a terrorist attack in Afghanistan, have been hobbled by the turmoil.

Side note: the DOJ is investigating a terrorist attack in Afghanistan?

After killing her bodyguards, Bond managed to escape the casino and travelled with Sévérine to Silva’s private Island. The pair were caught, and for her betrayal, Silva placed a glass of Scotch on Sévérine’s head and asked Bond to shoot it off.

Promoted Song: If You Are a Rich Man

Oppo — Mon, 18 May 2026 19:00:00 +0000

from our own Bob B:

If you are a rich man,
We will take your money, buck by buck, accounts we’ll surely drain
All day long we’ll tax and fine and fee
‘Til you’re not a wealthy man.
I wouldn’t have to work hard.
Living off the grift that fraud-based NGOs always obtain
If you’re even a little bitty rich
You’re a target of our evil plan

I’d build a big McMansion from your former riches,
And so will a dozen of my pals
I’d get a new EV with the stolen loot I took
There might be one long lawsuit filed in the courts
And one IRS probe coming down,
But they will all lead nowhere, ‘cus you’re a schnook

Once you’re not a rich man,
We’ll move on and find another sucker we can bleed wealth from
Anyone who has that thing we want
All day long we’ll break ‘em to a bum.

Let x = 1.5

Oppo — Mon, 18 May 2026 18:00:00 +0000

OK, say I. Let it. Doesn’t bother me.

“If x + y = 7, . . .”

. . . which is as likely or unlikely as x + y equalling 6 or 8, and furthermore is assuming facts not in evidence . . .

“then what is y?”

What, indeed?

Why drag y into this at all?

If you’re able to assume the godlike power to deem that x has a certain value — out of infinite possibilities — why, then, can’t I do the same for y? Let someone else reconcile the discrepancy in the equation. We’ve both made our cases, and I say they stand on equal ground.

by our very own Bob B:

The thug’ll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar, that tomorrow there’ll be fun
Just thinking about tomorrow
Antifa brings riots, and the sorrows just begun

When I’m stuck with some gay that’s gray and phony
I just print more ballots, and grin, and say, oh
Hamas’ll come out tomorrow
Oh, you gotta hang out tomorrow, come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow, a new cause tomorrow
Your troubles won’t go away

The taxes come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there’ll be more!
Just grifting some more tomorrow
‘Til we ruin the rich folks and the rest become poor

When I’m stuck for some words that are vague and phony
I just call AOC or Gavin and say
These are our best hopes tomorrow
Oh, we’ve gotta hang on ’til tomorrow, come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow, you’ll find out tomorrow
Can’t trust anything they say
Tomorrow, tomorrow, we’ll fool you tomorrow
No answers, you’ll always pay
