Watching that accent come out of those faces is the very definition of cognitive dissonance.

Replace White Hats With Blue Helmets
A new UN report criticizes America because of its racial tensions.
Easy fix: have inept UN bureaucrats run the Klan into the ground.
I’m Switching to Veggie Burgers
Saturday Night Open Thread
I’ve been to Stone Mountain Park recently.
Well, actually I haven’t. But maybe I have.
Yes, this is another one of those posts I write in advance. As I write this, I haven’t been to Stone Mountain Park. But, by the time you read this, I will have been.
Maybe.
I was supposed to go last weekend, but then something happened and it was put off for a week. So, now, maybe I’ve been. But I don’t know. If you’re reading this, then I am probably busy doing Stone Mountain stuff. Or other stuff that interfered.
Maybe I got hit by a bus. You never know.
It’s your turn now. What’s on your mind? Been to any places that half the country will despise you for going to? Or just have a joke to tell? Anything will do. It’s Saturday Night Open Thread.

Terminator the Second
[William Shakespeare Presents: Terminator the Second – Official Trailer] (Viewer #7,478)
I vaguely recall hearing about this project when it was initially announced back in 2013, and it sounded like an interesting concept.
Well, turns out the whole thing is now up at YouTube:
Whether you want to sit through all of it for the novelty and/or camp value, that’s up to you. I just kind of dipped in and out to get the flavor of it. Turns out how much you enjoy it depends a lot on how much Shakespeare you’ve read, because a good chunk of the fun is in recognizing the quote, which I pretty much didn’t for any of them.
Still, the other part of the fun is in figuring out how the Shakespeare gibberish actually translates to the original movie dialogue. So repeat-watchers of T2 still have a dog in the fight.
Anyway, be aware that it starts with a very long black screen during the opening narration. There’s (probably) nothing wrong with your YouTube connection.
A Year Ago, They Weren’t Worried About the Cure
Some journalists say they are feeling uneasy because President Trump said their profession was full of “sick people“.
Huh… must be worried he’ll force them to get Obamacare.

Hillary Clinton – The Classy Lassie
Hillary Clinton said she wished she’d have called Donald Trump a “creep” during their presidential debate.
She’s right. Her election was lost on an overabundance of civility.
