Zingers, pithy remarks, and epigrams
Mark Steyn interviews Conrad Black on his new book, Canadian Manifesto. It’s a fun interview with a lot of historical references. Conrad Black posits that if the US would have stayed with Britain, the US could have controlled the British Empire. He also shared that Canada was offered the British West Indies after World War I but said no thanks. The interview is about an hour.

These are real.
Please pick the “Gold”, “Silver”, and “Bronze” of the slogans. If you can please explain what some of the mean because I don’t get some of them.

Here’s a helpful video from General Electric on how to factory reset their “Smart” light bulbs.

The decision has been made for Ratburger TV to stand in solidarity with C-Span, CNN, and FOX who were excluded from telecasting live the South Carolina Democratic Convention. Only MSNBC is allowed to do the live broadcast.
Here is a quote from the Washington Examiner.
In a first, only one TV outlet — MSNBC — will be allowed to deliver live coverage of Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic Convention where 21 presidential candidates are expected to speak, drawing heated complaints from other networks.
C-SPAN, which has never been denied live coverage of a state convention in the network’s 40 years, has reluctantly pulled out of the convention and other weekend events sponsored by the party. CNN has filed a complaint. Fox will also be barred from providing live coverage to its viewers.
Funny that they didn’t mention Ratburger TV.

”If reason conflicts with a strong emotion, don’t try to argue. Enlist a conflicting and stronger emotion.” Gerd Gigerenzer from “Risk Savvy”
People often think facts matter. They do but decisions are made more from emotions than facts and we need to know this and act accordingly.

If you watch to the 15 minute mark there is a joke. Gerd Gigerenzer was mentioned by Nassim Taleb so I decided to check him out. This seemed like a good video to explain heuristic thinking by him. I like the summing up at the end. Tell me what you think.

Stole this from David Deeble at Ricochet. Apparently this was inspired by another work.

Being Press Secretary is tough and probably tougher for a working mom. I am glad she is going to get some rest and away from Washington. She did a great job.
The left wants to destroy anyone even a nice mother like Sarah Sanders. The garbage she has had to put up with just shows how terrible the left has gotten. They truly have no shame anymore.

John Hugo, president of Super Happy Fun America, which argues that “straight people are an oppressed majority,” initially used the likeness of Brad Pitt to promote the parade before the award-winning actor made it clear he wanted no part of that.
“I really like his movies and his lawyers sent us a letter asking us to take his stuff down but, you know, you’re allowed to do satire,” Hugo told The Boston Herald.
Yiannopoulos was later chosen as the face of the parade.
I do like the name of the group,”Super Happy Fun America”. Stay tune things should get interesting.
