Self-Parody

 From time to time I've done a little modification of a McSweeney's headline as a way of showing how ridiculous they are,  This one takes the cake:  I did not change it at all.  Read and weep.

So You’re Trying to Rationalize Rooting for USA Hockey as Our Country Turns into an Autocracy

Another Idiot Self-Identifies

It's funny how idiots will readily assume their interlocutor is a monster, before they will admit to a mistake.  He claimed 6 crashes in the last 4 weeks.  I asked for links and he came up with another post with 5 crashes in it.  BTW:  The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) says there were 257 fatal accidents in the US in 2024, so a 4 week average would be over 19.


Added:  I like the ratio:  Dan has 28 replies to 19 likes, I've got 2 replies and 5 likes.

"He who saves his Country does not violate any Laws"

If your country is lost, there won't be any laws other than the ones imposed by whatever power conquered your country.

From a practical sense, better to violate any number of laws to preserve law itself.

The best quote, which is similar to Trump's would be, "the Constitution is not a suicide pact."
