I haven't watched SNL for years (for one thing, I haven't had a TV---and if I did, I wouldn't watch SNL anyway).  But I stumbled across this sketch this morning.  It's a pretty stupid sketch---but it appears to suggest that at least a few people even in Proggieville are a little skeptical about the Great Doc-tator and his Faucist prescriptions for the country.

Good morning.


BBC: Human sacrifice is pretty groovy (when done by non-western cultures*), because it “makes people sacred”, or something:

buzz, I had a random thought involving you at the very end of last night’s Pub thread.

It’s not just that they are lousy excuses for “journalists“; it’s not just that they are partisan Democrat hacks; it’s that they are so dim-witted:

"Turned into gifts for the gods or even personifications of deities themselves."

Nice.  

We know very well what they were:  captives who were then sacrificed.  The bodies were turned over to the family of the warrior who had taken the captive and would then be eaten.

Good morning! I'm thinking about doing something wacky this morning, like going to church.

Saw that; will write you off-site a little later today.

you are obviously failing to appreciate the rich nuances of their wonderfully diverse culture. Racist.

There was fraud in the election
There was cowardice in the courts
America sought for correction
And the judges soiled their shorts.

Just the first 3 minutes are a devastating indictment.

And a breath of fresh air... Seattle being called out.

Powerful journalism, the first 10 minutes is almost more than I can stomach. It’s just sickening to me to see Seattle, a once beautiful and fun city, reduced to ruin at the hands of progressives. I really had no idea how bad the situation there really is before watching this, shit hole doesn’t begin to describe it. I really feel for you JCM, it must be heartbreaking.

I should stomach it out and watch the whole thing then, I need to know there is a potential solution.

Solution is about the one hour mark.

You can tell Erik is torn up about this. He loves the City, and cares about the people, the homeless and addicted.

Watching now the portion about HopeHaven ... I can tell Erik is speaking from the heart. Very powerful coverage!

It is not just Seattle.

The application is much broader.

I think some BBC reporters could be honored.

I think certain members of Seattle city council, in particular, need to be given A sweeping overview of what is happening to the city. Perhaps taking them up for a helicopter ride would do the trick. If you know what I mean.

If they land on their heads, they'd do quite a bit of damage... to the pavement or buildings.

Thanks for sharing that, I watched the whole thing.  Los Angeles will likely be the third western city to go that route.  It's heartbreaking.
