Schdenfreude for the Forth of July

While trying to stick a patriotic landing to (MAGA) Bruce Greenwood's "Proud to be an American", a Democratic Socialist tree had other plans for this parachutist at a Northern California rodeo this weekend.  

I caught this piece on Whirled Nuze Tonight last evening, and when I heard the music over the PA system in the video, sadly, my only reaction was to burst out laughing.  

Thankfully (though I really gave it no more thought), the parachutist was fine and apparently successfully re-did the jump a second time a little later in the day.  

Saturday Morning Sip - 4th Of July Edition (revised).

First Saturday of the Month AND it's the 4th of July.  

Looking forward to the day I can

retire this meme. 

 

 

Will this ever get it's own

"Me Too" moment? 

 

 

Now for some SCROTUS 

inspired holiday entertainment. 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay... onward...

 

Thank you, Wiley! 

Amen. 

 

 

  

Let's wrap up the 4th with some Katy Perry "Fireworks"!

 

 

From Infidel

 

"...The US is still the US, politics is not the sum total of reality, and Trump is just a run-of-the-mill asshole who will be mostly forgotten in a few decades.  We've made it to a quarter-millennium and are still going strong.  Let's act like it."

 

Excellent perspective - I agree!

Thank you, Wiley.

Row, row, row, row, row, row... your boat!

Leanna at "Can we have a new Witch, ours melted" posted a fantastic entry this morning about Kelsey Pfendler, currently rowing from California to Hawaii!  

 

 

Just an incredible expedition across the Pacific ocean amid the currents, weather and birds!    

 

"...She is currently rowing all by herself with no help from anyone going from Monterey California to Oahu Hawaii.  That's 2400 miles - alone!  She cannot have outside help from boats, or Coast Guard choppers unless she loses her boat. So if she runs out of food or loses an oar, she will have to figure her way out of it. She is on a solo row and she's breaking records all over the place. First youngest female to row to Hawaii. Fastest row by one person ever. First single American rower. First fastest female rower, and the list goes on." 

Kelsey is doing this predominantly to prove she can (and she is!), and for the Whale Foundation charity. 

An awesome and intriguing story that will certainly be our good news for the summer!  

Thank you, Leanna!    Link in the opening sentence!

Indeed. 

 

And speaking of "Hot as Hell"

 

 

 

Be careful folks!  

This heat ain't messing around. 

 

Happy Canada Day!

It is the anniversary of the confederation of Canada, which occurred on July 1, 1867. It is a national holiday celebrated with various events, including parades, fireworks, and community gatherings across the country.  

Nary a UFC / MMA cage to be seen, or performances by Vanilla Ice or half of Milli Vanilli.

...however...

And how can we EVER forget this Oscar nominated production!

 Bonne fête du Canada! 

 

Forniquer Trump pour toujours!
