His bunker no longer available, America’s tiniest anti-Semite monetizes his predicament.

Professor Jason Arday’s upcoming memoir should remind the Brits that stories too good to be true are almost always too good to be true. Although Simon and Schuster is sticking with its decision to release the book in a few days, it’s increasingly clear that its powerful content has a lot of bullshit to it, just as Arday’s scholarly work seems to have a lot of plagiarism to it.

Whether it’s the Salt Path’s powerful story of overcoming, or Great and Unfortunate’s powerful story of overcoming, we don’t seem able to overcome our powerful need for stories of powerful overcoming. If we were able to overcome this need, we could see hoaxes coming.

The NYT coverage of immigration needs to evolve. Although its analysis of Ceuta acknowledges (see above) that way-lefty Denmark got way into anti-immigration all on its own, without being scared into it by the far right, the article’s headline is

EUROPE’S FAR RIGHT, ONCE MARGINAL, NOW SETS THE TONE ON SPAIN MIGRANT CRISIS

Denmark’s social democrats are close to implementing a ban on calls to prayer; they are radical on the burqa, and on hijabs in school. They are extremely vocal about the imperative of new arrivals to integrate into the culture of Denmark. Far from being far right politically, they are, in American terms, far left. And Denmark, as a sovereign country, is arguably more tone-setting on migration than perennially losing candidates like Farage and LePen. It would be wonderful if the NYT could give fear-mongering about a fascist right a break, at least as regards European immigration.

And, armed with that distinction, it wants to show you what the state can accomplish.

Lotsa people at the In-N-Out parking lot this afternoon filmed the two boys (or maybe just one) with long, long guns finally taking their weapons out for a play date. They’ve been chomping at the bit to pull the AR15s and shoot folks, and today turned out to be the day. You could just see the beginnings of facial hair on one of the tykes.

In-N-Out. Life’s like that, ain’t it? One minute you’re in a burger joint reaching for the mustard, and the next moment you’re out cold. Live each day as if thy last, as the great old hymn has it, for lo as the lord giveth gun rights just so the lord taketh away your capacity to survive a 7.62x39mm cartridge.

FB commenter: Or, as we say in America, Saturday.

… we lie on the grass and listen

To that which has no speech,

The voluble intentions of the symbols,

The ghostly celebrations of the picnic,

The secretions of insight.

… has all charges of Reflecting Pool vandalism dropped.

Botched installation by Trump crony.

Anything for a friend of the governor! A Florida college prez only has a BS from Akron, but anyway it’s Florida whaddaya expect.

However, his resentment of his appropriately credentialed faculty is such that when he heard an English prof there teaches short stories that … I dunno, lack Baptist content? he up and tossed her out on the spot! ON THE SPOT. Satan get thee hence.

Well his petulant little moment caught the eye of FIRE and the NYT and all, and now you got you a big ol lawsuit…

Yeah, he’s pissed that, in the wake of the Ceuta disaster, Italy has suspended its Schengen open borders agreement with Spain. But listen. It’s optics, ain’t it? The whole world has been riveted, for the last twenty-four hours, to scenes of thousands of young men (only young men) surging into Spain from Morocco cuz Spain can’t control its borders. One can know that more “irregulars” enter Italy than enter Spain; but here one can see the intrusion – into Spain – so so graphically.

The overwhelmed police; the inevitable armed forces. 72 dead in the chaos. A massive embarrassment for Spain. A massive gift to Trump and Co.

Four months old… prominent imam …. Certain words jump out at you, don’t they?

Or maybe they don’t. Amazingly few people know about, much less care about, the global grotesquerie of FGM.

UNC’s football manager is “the highest-paid general manager in the sport at $1.5 million.” The money went right down the drain from the beginning: the team has been quite shitty. But now he’s not even working for his salary – somebody complained to HR about him and he’s been suspended while they discover whatever… An affair with a teenage staffer. Recruiting violations up the wazoo. Harassment. Fucking with a player’s professors to get him out of schoolwork — a proud UNC tradition. Could be any number of things.

Meanwhile no one remembers that the loser ten million dollar a year coach and the loser million dollar manager (the manager who’s about to add a scandal to a pathetic win/loss record) have something somewhere to do with a university.

… has become all the rage in the land of 500 million firearms. If, like Colin Gray, you get excited at the spectacle of your psychotic kid plastering his room with photos of mass killers and then letting rip at his high school with one of the guns you’ve pressed on him, you can be convicted of murder alongside him.

AI tells you this if you search FAUCI HERBERT RAPP. Herbert Rapp was UD’s father, and I can imagine him staring wide-eyed at his eminent colleague being publicly destroyed by Trump/Paul.

Background.

That’s an official statement from a university vice-chancellor – and not just any university, but scandal-plagued UNC Chapel Hill, which has every reason to show that it’s a university and not a filthy sports factory. But when your highest representatives can’t write the English language…AND HE’S VC FOR COMMUNICATIONS.

As for the latest sickening sports scandal at that benighted school — as the illiterate VC seems to be trying to say, they ain’t talking. It involves the football team’s general manager, however, so here’s hoping it’s real real yummy.

Your venerable Bite of Seattle food festival confirms that you’re just like the rest of America: You can’t gather in crowds without getting shot. The two 14 year olds (or whatever – that’s an age estimate) shooting at each other in the middle of your sushi sampling will always be top of mind for you now. You will stop attending anything that calls itself a festival because in this country festivals = shooting galleries. Parades, fireworks displays, protest marches — you name it. A real bloody mess.

UPDATE: Look at that. I was off by one year.
