When It Absolutely, Positively, Has to Be There Overnight
[How Overnight Shipping Works] (Viewer #1,844,811)
Even if you don’t have a logistics fetish, you should still enjoy this well-paced and informative video.

Cure Literally Much Worse Than the Disease
A new report shows that Venezuelans lost 24 pounds on average last year due to the widespread food shortages in their country.
Apparently if socialism ever takes root in America, it will do so as a diet plan.
Also, It Should Be Shaped Like Israel
Saturday Night Open Thread
Remember February 1964? That’s when The Beatles were introduced to America on The Ed Sullivan Show. I seem to remember watching it.
What’s on your mind? Got something you’d like to share? It’s Saturday Night Open Thread.
Who wants to start?
The Illustrated Frank J: Although There’s About Twice As Many Suicides As Murders With Guns, But Gun Grabbers Rarely Make That Distinction When Blathering on About “Gun Violence”
[source]
Well, let’s see… the biased, untrustworthy, yellow-journalist axe-grinders at Slate claim 4,000,000 “assault-style” rifles. Let’s make them all AR-15s
Firearm deaths: 33,000 – AR-15s are 1% of guns, so extrapolate to 330 deaths, and you get
.00825%
Cars: 270 million
Car deaths: 40,000
Odds any given car will kill you:
.0148%
Therefore, any given AR-15 is nearly twice as safe as any given car.

Luke Skywalker Was A Freeloader

Added Bonus: Jackie Chan Singing the End Credits Song
[DRUNKEN FIST VS PRAYING MANTIS KUNG FU – DANCE OF THE DRUNKEN GODS] (Viewer #132,745)
If you like badly dubbed Kung Fu movies, you will like this. And if you don’t, you will at least admire the degree of athletic effort involved in the choreography.
And if you don’t like either of those, maybe you’ll at least like the outtake reel at the end of the video
P.S. This video makes a lot of references to Jackie Chan’s “Drunken Master“, which I recommend on it’s own, as it’s Jackie’s best pre-“Rumble in the Bronx” work (with the possible exception of “Fearless Hyena“)

Where I Come From, There Are Penalties When a Woman Lies
During a town hall meeting in Texas, Nancy Pelosi called the Trump tax cuts “unpatriotic“.
Yes, I’m sure she thinks all the Republicans who voted for it should be thrown in jail. Of course, that’s what she thought BEFORE they voted for the cuts, too.

NOTE: Unnecessary cussing around the 25 second mark
[Toy Story Meets Pinko | Robot Chicken | Adult Swim] (Viewer #2,611,310)
To the best of my Googling ability, this is not actually a thing. However, part of me was shocked to discover that it isn’t, because it seemed so plausible.
Or maybe I’ve just been jaded by the liberal ability to proclaim nonsense as profundity.
