For real. White conservatives no longer accept the premise “when I fuck up and get found out there will be consequences.” An owner doping a horse to win a race and then calling it “cancel culture” when he gets caught would blow the whole scam out of the water in a sane society.
Being the Party of Personal Responsibility frees you from the necessity of ever taking any—you support it and know it so well it cuts you a break, winking and saying 'You know I was really designed only for Those People anyway, hoss.'.
Roy, I look forward to Bari’s next expose at the Westminster Dog Show. Some of those mutts look pretty jacked up. And what better target for Antifa/cancel culture than man’s best friend?
(Somewhat off-topic: Roy, you mentioned you were scaling back the unlocked newsletter posts so as to better pay your bills? I think I speak for everyone here when I say that, if you're struggling, I'll cheerfully pay more for your work than I do now, and even drop you a tenner or so on top of it. You're more than worth it. Just letting you know!)
I won't lie to you. I'm not "struggling" at present, at least in my understanding of the term, based on actually times of struggle I still vividly remember. I would like to fix it so I don't have to work two jobs, though.
It’s not just the electoral college and death penalty, the whole Trump cult of “president forever,” and then his misbegotten whelps assuming the Oval Office, reeks of monarchy. The King of Queens, Earl of Mar-a-Lago and Duke of Bedminster, Defender of the Fake and Protector of the Garble.
Mr. Ed bounced into my head last night--the theme song and the ridiculous way he was always shot in that stall to avoid the question of whether he had a body--for what seemed like no conceivable reason. Now I wonder if it was a disturbance in the Force.
My understanding was that he actually had a body and was a real horse - not a puppet - but that they put peanut butter in the horse's mouth and the efforts to deal with the peanut butter looked like talking.
Pillars of our great culture, indentured servitude and the death penalty, to say nothing of fashions named after a burg in Rajasthan. I'm not cheating. I'm not breaking the rules. It's not privilege. It's heritage.
To the extent that “cancel culture” has any meaning anymore, it absolutely means “when rich white people get caught doing shit”
Also, the talking horse was great. Please incorporate one in everything you do going forward.
Agreed. The only character I enjoyed.
Maybe the talking horse could go on Fox. I'd tune in. That's would be a great skit. Mr. Ed aka Medina Spirit on Tucker Carlson or Hannity.
I mean, the horse was definitely canceled. I don’t think anyone can deny that.
Is it dog food yet? Glue?
eeeek
Damn. Left out steak.

It's exactly the same as "fake news" but with a lib, rather than MSM, twist
Actually means "Being held accountable for a bad act or worse". Just more perversion from conservatives.
That funky cold Medina!
With the cancellation of Regan & Goneril, it's obvious the woke mobs have gotten to the Bard himself..."
Now he's just the Brad...

Who here hasn't been cancelled because the Times is not running our insights?
Oh, wait, canel now means being caught redhanded breaking the rules or laws. Don't do the crime if you can't stand to be canceled.
Yeah we went down this path with "because of pliticalcrectness". It took a bit longer last time.

Word. Same. Drop your Venmo. Maybe try Patreon?
I may go for that sweet Twitter tip grift!

Nobody should have to work two jobs, not me, not you.
You’re worth it and so is your insight, by golly.
So ask. Enough of us would accept and be able to handle a reasonable price hike. Try us.
Aw jeez, Roy, you were a gigging musician at one point, surely you remember taking the Two Jobs Forever oath?

Let's not forget the great English tradition of chopping off the monarch's head every once in a while

Augh! I love that moment!
"pour encourager les autres"
They were way ahead in some ways, those English.
It beats Edward II's reputed bon voyage.
Anglo-Saxon values, my dude.
LOL!
If only you could get off the junk
Bob Baffled, horse dealer!
This is aces. Weiss’s Gish gallop of bullshit is perfect, and the “chromatic scale” detail was sublime.
Brilliant. Don't cancel Mister Ed.

How'd I miss that? Thanks!

Ohhhhhhh, Wilbur!
