A bit of daylight right here. Tracy is a trip mine. That means she’s my heroine. Watch out, the Left – we have your number, now. Tracy joins Rosanne (a wounded and loose cannon comic genius) and Norm MacDonald, Gavin McInnes, and Dennis Miller as true comedians.
Fuck off, Jamie!

I found this video deeply offensive. First, it was in color, which means that it appropriated the cinematography from non-whites, or people of “color.” The video should have been in black and white, except that would have privileged whites and oppressed black people. One could say it was in grayscale, but that implies sameness and would be highly offensive and oppressive to all of us who celebrate diversity. It could have been made as a cartoon, but inevitably it would have meant caricaturing (hence stereotyping) the characters, which you can do to the white characters (I mean, who cares? They are all Nazis anyway) but not to the minority players — who were massively under-represented in the casting!

Therefore, this video should never have been made at all. I demand that you take it off your site, you neo-Nazi, fascist hatemonger!

It’s always important to check out what “The Ullwoman” is up to. After all, she helped launch “The Simpsons” (The Simpson’s …….. )

‘Struth!! Simpsons started as a minor segment on her show in early 90’s

The fact that Tracey Ullman did this isn’t surprising- but the fact that the BBC showed it is amazing!

Glad to see that Tracey is still subversive, and I greatly enjoyed that video!

I Return to the Place I was Born

From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.

— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
