Video Treat: Confused Cats

Here are some cats who are mildly confused about certain things that really wouldn’t puzzle other cats–except for those bits with the printers. Most cats have a thing about printers. I’m glad mine don’t.

Don’t worry: no cats were driven crazy during the making of this video. Unlike, say, collidge students, the cats will get over their confusion.

Oh, Boy! Earn a Degree in Social Justice!

Eastern Kentucky University has placed itself on the cutting edge of academic piffle by offering a degree in Social Justice ( http://campusreform.org/?ID=5942 ).

So in case you just can’t handle the rigors of a degree program in Superhero Studies, Gender Studies, or Video Gaming, you can sign up for this one, which is intended to equip students for brilliant careers as activists or community organizers. America needs a lot more community organizers.

The university will disavow this, but our top-secret confidential sources have leaked some of the proposed syllabus.

Courses will be offered in Whining, Advanced Bellyaching, Creative Vandalism, Trolling Conservative Websites, Saying Snarky Things About Religion, How to Find Microaggression Everywhere You Look,  and Inventing New Things to Complain About.

Keep those tuition dollars comin’, folks!

Climate Change Cheats Caught Again

https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mba52445efc2e72708f98c9bf5f373eafH0&w=250&h=300&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0

This is getting to be like reporting “dog bites man”: Once again, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been caught cheating in an effort to sell “man-made climate change” ( http://climatechangedispatch.com/climate-change-skeptics-scoff-as-noaa-quickly-links-global-warming-la-floods/ ).

This time NOAA rushed to publicize, before a scientific peer review could be completed, “research” that supposedly shows that human activity caused torrential rains in Louisiana. Gee, I wonder why no one thought of performing that activity in the Gobi Desert.

University of Colorado’s senior climate scientist, Roger Pielke Sr., called NOAA’s rush to publication, and extravagant claims, “manipulation of science for political reasons.” Ya think? He also rapped NOAA for studying man-made computer models instead of nature. What a pill. Everybody knows computer models are much easier to study–and a lot more cooperative, too.

Please always bear in mind this general principle:

When a certain public policy is strongly advocated by persons with well-earned reputations as liars, swindlers, and thieves, and where such a policy, if enacted into law, would bring them fabulous wealth and greatly enlarge their political power… do not under any circumstances believe them.

The Beauty of Holiness: ‘Be Thou My Vision’

If we ever needed the Lord Our God to be our vision, we need Him now.

There are so many versions of this wonderful hymn, going back well over a thousand years. This one is sung by Alison Krauss.

Come, Lord Jesus–come!

This is Why You Need Round Doorknobs

Watch as cats open one closed door after another, often managing to let out the dog who was supposed to stay in, and letting themselves in where they were supposed to stay out.

All of these doors seem to have levers instead of doorknobs, and obviously a cat can figure out how those work.

If they only had hands with opposable thumbs, we would be totally at their mercy.

Beautiful Tiger Swallowtail

Hi, Mr. Nature here–and I just can’t let the summer pass without saluting one of my favorite critters, the tiger swallowtail butterfly. Happily, they’re not uncommon around here. I saw a nice one this morning.

The one in this video is a male. The females have a border of metallic blue spots along the bottom of their wings; and some females have black wings. I always thought that was another species, but I was wrong.

As man’s stuff continues to deteriorate, God’s stuff is still going strong-and this is one of the most beautiful examples of it.

It would be a sorry world that had to do without butterflies!

An Idea Whose Time Has Come: Anti-College

https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Ma5e3858a375add9d5241d99b7e7fe28bo2&w=300&h=225&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0

Here, world, is my contribution to human progress.

Look, we have a real problem anymore with our colleges and universities turning young people into useless quaking idiots. Like, how are we supposed to run a country full of thin-skinned little nits who collapse into fetal position the moment they see or hear something they don’t like, and whose idea of being well-informed consists of being able to name 50 different genders?

So it looks like we’ll have to set up anti-colleges and anti-universities to try to undo some of the havoc that’s been wrought with students’ minds, try to straighten out some of what’s been twisted and tangled upstairs, and maybe after four years come up with someone who’s actually employable.

By that time, of course, they’ll be thirty years old or even older–but better late than never. Without anti-college, we’ll just have millions of ninnies on the dole, watching each other’s ponytails grow grey.

If we don’t get conquered first by anyone who thinks that would be worth doing.

Anti-college! Because someone has to clean up the mess.

Another Collidge Caper: Tampons for Men

When they’re not busy setting up racially segregated housing or handing out degrees in Superhero Studies, America’s great institutions of higher learning get up to some really wacky things. Not a day goes by without a new one.

Today’s absurdity is brought to you by Brown University, where–according to the student body president–“not all people who menstruate are women” ( http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8105 ). Call me un-hip, but I don’t know what the devil he means by that. Anyhow, they’re going around putting tampons and maxi-pads in the men’s bathrooms on the campus: because even for men, women’s hygiene products are “a necessity, not a luxury.”

I have no idea what these people are talking about.

A year ago we were told collidges couldn’t stage The Vagina Monologues anymore because it ain’t inclusive of “women who don’t have vaginas,” traditionally known as “men.”

Yes, I know, this discussion verges on the unseemly. But I can’t help it, and neither can you–that’s what our colleges are all about.

And if you send your offspring there, and pay through the nose to do it… well, the more fool you.

‘When I Survey the Wondrous Cross’

Looking around for an Isaac Watts hymn to post for you this morning, I discovered this: The King’s Heralds singing When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. By isaac Watts, of course.

These guys are good!
