On the internet, I am a sucker for the “23 Life Hacks That Will Save You Hours Every Day” variety of clickbait. And, of course, they are always disappointing. Typical of the advice you get is to “Save cabinet space by hanging your pots and pans on hooks!!!”
However,
I recently saw one life-hack that struck me as brilliant, and which might
literally save my life someday. When
disposing of a body, the site advised, bury it vertically. Since all of the imaging tools cops use, from
helicopters and such, are designed to find objects underground that are six
feet long and two feet wide, your victim will never be flagged.
For
additional safety, once you bury the human body, put a dead dog on top of it so
that even if the cops decide to dig, they will find the canine and dismiss the
search as a “false positive.”

There
are two things that bother me about tomorrow’s mid-term election.
First,
I wanted (and expected), this election would be a referendum on COVID policy
over the last two years. I understand
people care about crime, and the reversal of Roe, and the miserable
condition of the economy, and the sexualization of schoolchildren, but I also
hoped the COVID madness of lockdowns and mandates would be addressed. I would like candidates to be asked, among
other thing, “Would you authorize a mask mandate under any circumstances, and
if so, what are those circumstances?”
Yet the horrible damage inflicted on all of us by leftwing politicians
and authoritarian bureaucrats has never been addressed.
The
other concern is the level of cheating we will see from the Democrats. I think we can expect the Dems to get crushed
across the country, but there will inevitably be some close contests decided by
a few thousand votes. In a big
Democratic city, with an entrenched Democratic machine (Cleveland, St. Louis,
Milwaukee, Philly, Detroit, for example), any close race where a Republican
gets more votes is likely to be stolen.

One of
the ways LGBT/Trans activists teach the youngest schoolchildren their
philosophy is with the Gender Unicorn, a purple Barney-like figure. The five aspects of “gender” are listed as
Gender Identity, Gender Expression, Sex Assigned at Birth, Sexually Attracted
To, and Romantically/Emotionally Attracted To.
Each of these has its own symbol, which appears on the cartoon unicorn. For example, the Gender Identity symbol is
located in the unicorn’s head, and the Sexually Attracted To symbol appears on
the unicorn’s heart. The overall effect
of the image is to stress that Sex Assigned At Birth is of very minor
importance in determining your Gender.
This is
what is used to teach five- and six-year-olds.

A new
taste treat I discovered on Halloween this year is the combination of a dry red
zinfandel with a cherry Tootsie Roll Pop.
Since the Tootsie Roll Pop takes a while to consume, you might need two
or even three glasses of the wine, so make sure you have plenty on hand.
*
Trivia:
the standard Tootsie Roll Pops are chocolate, grape, cherry, raspberry, orange
and lemon, though the company makes many other flavors, including pomegranate.

“One of
the painful signs of years of dumbed-down education is how many people are
unable to make a coherent argument. They
can vent their emotions, question other people’s motives, make bold assertions,
repeat slogans---anything except reason.”
---Thomas Sowell

Call it
a “conspiracy theory,” but I am slightly concerned that the government’s
politicized DOJ will be mobilized in tomorrow’s election to arrest people and
seize election materials on the grounds that Republicans are “suppressing”
votes. It may not be that likely, but I
also didn’t think the federal government would censor social media sites or
raid the home of a former president. And
then they did.
