Breitbart | 02/22/2025 | Elizabeth Weibel

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) supported a Democrat Senate bill that would replace the word “mother” with the word “inseminated person.”

And if the author is lying about this, she can be sued for . . . well, check out her name.

I’m Holding Out for Pope

Hegseth fires Navy’s top officer, Air Force No. 2
Breaking Defense | February 21, 2025 | Justin Katz, Michael Marrow and Ashley Roque

WASHINGTON — Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth today announced he was removing Adm. Lisa Franchetti as the chief of naval operations, unceremoniously ending early the tenure of the first woman to become a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In addition, Hegseth said he would be replacing Gen. James Slife, the Air Force’s No. 2 officer, as well as replacing the top Judge Advocate General for the Army, Air Force and Navy.

“I am also requesting nominations for the positions of Chief of Naval Operations and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff.”

Ordinarily, I would say “Nominate Oppo!” But as I said, I’m holding out for Pope.

.

By the way, before anyone says “But you’re not qualified”:

Ms. Franchetti’s background:

Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Medill at Northwestern University
Master of Arts in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island
Master’s degree in organizational management from the University of Phoenix.

Mom defends ‘weird’ name she gave to three-year-old son claiming it suits him perfectly
The Mirror | 02/16/2025 | Falyn Stempler, Antigoni Pitta

She’s standing firm on naming her three-year-old son Se7en Simba, and the middle name is a nod to– you guessed it: The Lion King.

Despite some naysayers predicting he’ll be “picked on” and “bullied,” Brittany and her partner Wayne, 36, believe their little one will embrace his distinctive moniker. Brittany confidently shared, “Se7en is the most unique child you’ll ever meet.”

“Most unique”?

Charles Schulz beat her to it. So did George Costanza.

If they called him “6ix Sigma,” he’d probably be a nerd.

Open Thread: Bad Dreams

Posted by on

We’re all familiar with the usual nightmares of standing in front of an audience unprepared, or finding yourself at an exam you haven’t studied for. But someone on a discussion thread mentioned one that I did not know was common to anyone else:

You find out that, contrary to your calculations, you do not have enough credits to graduate.

Of course, if you have any random thoughts you’d like to add. . .

I’ve Got a Hundred-Acre Wood

It’s mildly amusing to replace the word “bear” with the word “beer” in pretty much any context. Disney cartoons are especially ripe.

Example: A beer of very little brain:

“Beers love honeys and I’m a Pooh-Beer

So I do care…”

“Soily old beer.”

Different movie:

“Look for the Beer Necessities…”
