By indulging Andrew from an early age, the Queen nurtured and shaped the sweating, bombastic buffoon that may yet bring the whole edifice crashing down.

What’s more fun to read — reviews of ‘Wuthering Heights’ the movie, or reviews of Andrew Mountbatten?
UD says it’s a toss-up.
Stupidity and arrogance — the very heart of the thing.
Canadian doo-doos are now deep in doo-doo.
… but there’s nothing all that funny about a system that nurtures and protects high-born degenerates. Something to think about as we enjoy the cheap thrill of the queen of England’s son in handcuffs.
You can pity this family, which perished on a brutally hot California hike because they had no understanding of what they were walking into; you feel less empathy for this more recent dead group. They, and the tour company that led them into a massive storm/avalanche (lawsuits incoming), knew perfectly well they assumed a humongous risk.
Why why why? Everyone’s asking.
UD thinks a lot of it is bragging rights – same thing that leaves frozen bodies on Everest.
Only in America would the outcome of Colt’s father’s second degree murder trial be in doubt. His enthusiastic abetting of his son’s mass murder is as obvious as the fact that his son would commit one. He should get at least fifteen years behind bars.
With him and the Crumbleys safely locked away, maybe other gunnies molding their own wee shooters will think twice about AK47s for Xmas.

Reminder: Get ready for the Gun as Self-Consuming Artifact trial! This is the case where the parents gave the code to their gun case to their psychotic 15 year old and he killed the whole family. Except for one kid who got shot but managed to crawl out of a window.
Australia’s decision, yesterday, to refuse entry to a bunch of ISIS adherents (they have to go back to their camp in Syria) has occasioned another round of ISIS bride language. These women aren’t ideologically committed violent fanatics – only men have the brains to be that. No, they put on their white veils or whatever and did the brood mare thing for whatever incomprehensible nonsense Ahmad was spouting…
It’s simply a measure of how far women haven’t come that everyone feels comfortable denigrating these fully paid cult members in this way. I mean FUCK. The one thing these chicks weren’t is anything remotely resembling what anyone in the history of the English language has ever meant by the word BRIDE.
Read what Shamima Begum said attracted her to ISIS. She particularly loved videos of beheadings.
Stop with the bride shit.
The phrase ‘courting death’ comes to mind.
We’re on it! We’re DEF on it, y’all!!
She hasn’t written about it because she hasn’t been able to control her emotions.
It is now coming to an end.
How did it ever start?
‘With respect, Mr President, Judge Leon is a Republican, Federalist Society jurist – the complete opposite of Raskin. Very Catholic education and background. Impeccable conservative credentials. You and Hegseth seem to have made Leon angry by trying to destroy the life of one of America’s most decorated military heroes. Maybe let it go?’

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.
