It's a great idea, but will they enforce it?

 
Panama will reportedly start imposing a fine of up to $5,000 on illegal migrants caught crossing through the Darién Gap jungle trail, President José Raúl announced on Thursday.
Mulino made the announcement in a weekly press conference where he covered a wide array of topics such as migration and health while also giving an update on some of the results of his policies. The rest of this story is here.

OMG - who farted?

 
The case was first described as a possible chemical attack involving the use of skunk spray, an agent developed in Israel and used as a crowd-control weapon, most commonly in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. But Columbia has said the spray used was novelty, non-toxic fart spray, bought on Amazon for $26.11, and not a chemical agent.
A lawsuit that the student filed against Columbia in April had first asserted that he had deployed the fart spray in question on the demonstrators “as a harmless expression of his speech” relying on a product that is marketed as Liquid Ass – and is readily available for consumer purchase.

The downside of growing older (or at least as old as I am)...

And the reality we all face is even more dire. Now matter how it happens, we all end up the same - in a box or ashes blowing in the breeze. If I could narrow my scope of friends to a random 50 guys and gals I knew when I was 17, fully 40% of 'em (or more - who knows) aren't here anymore. Some are dearly missed and some barely at all, but the sad truth is, when ya gott go, ya gotta go. Remember Jim Morrison saying 'Nobody gets out of here alive'...

Yeah - once the campaign designers and managers finally get hip to the fact that so many people are taking advantage of early voting, I guess we'll be looking forward to seeing more ads that much earlier in the election cycle next time around. Now there's something to look forward to, huh?

Our 'local newspaper' here where I live. This is the front page of today's issue - not exactly hard-hitting journalism, is it? The reason I put that in quotes is that the Daily Sun is a sales brochure disguised as a newsrag. It's owned by the developers here and fully half or more of it's content is ads for houses built buy the developer. There's a reason people call living in The Villages 'Living inside the bubble'.

Amish voters in the upcoming presidential election may be an important demographic in former President Donald Trump winning the 'oh-so-important-swing-state' Pennsylvania.

One of New York City’s elite private schools told families on Thursday that “students who feel too emotionally distressed” the day after Election Day will be excused from classes, and that psychologists will be available during the week to provide counseling.
In a section of an email to members of the school’s community headed “Election Day support,” Stacey Bobo, principal of the upper school at the institution, the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, said that it “acknowledges that this may be a high-stakes and emotional time for our community.”
“No matter the election outcome,” she wrote, the school “will create space to provide students with the support they may need.”

'Did you make the right choice, honey?'     Good god.
You be the judge - is this not the worst ad ever?

How to rig an election - and get fired and jailed - in Florida...

 A USPS worker is being accused of dumping more than 400 pieces of political mail and a ballot in the woods.
Ottis McCoy Jr. was hired as a part-time employee for a contract delivery company back in August to deliver mail on a route in Orlando. In October, one of his managers suspected he may have "disposed" of the mail rather than delivering it when McCoy finished his route earlier than expected.
The manager helped McCoy load a large amount of mail into his mail van on the morning of Oct. 22 and was suspicious when he finished early, according to federal court records from the Middle District of Florida. 
 

The owner of the delivery company checked the tracking device for the mail van and noticed that McCoy deviated from his route that day and ended up in a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood. The manager went to the area where McCoy had been and saw several pieces of mail in the woods of a lot at the end of the street. Photos from the area show numerous envelops and other pieces of mail littered in the brush.

Can ya help me here? I don't get this one...


 

Mussel farming in Ireland. I had no idea this is how they do it...


I shot this from the car  when I was over there last mopnth and, no, I wasn't driving - I had shotgun. Their steering wheels are on the right over there. Anyway, this is just shy of a beautiful Portnoo beach on the northwestern coast of Ireland in Donegal county. Ya know they say here - The Brits and other Europeans drive on the right side, we drive on the correct side...

No matter how you slice it...

Did you know if you use the phrase 'No matter how you slice it', you are actually using an idiom? Yup. Anyway, No matter how you do it...

I gotta be honest here.
I don't care if you follow or not.
I just really like that picture of her...

Ya see, back in the slightly more innocent (only slightly) heydays of great print advertising - - the 1950's through the 60's - we used wickedly simple double-entendres to get messages across. Looking back and then seeing how they promote products these days, I don't see a single ad that compares. Juss' sayin'...

This whole thing'll end up like the Epstein deal where somebody or many-bodies 
will bury all of the party guest lists for the important people and a coupla middle rungers'll take a beating to protect the big shots. 
Was this guy a wrapper at some point? However the fuck he got to level he did, he now appears to be totally fucked. Sorry, bro - you goin' downnnnn...

Depending on who you're talking to, getting fucked in the ass and sucking cock on film now makes you an 'embattled actor' and not just a fuckin' slut. 
This broad is nothing more than a money-grubbing attention whore. At least in my opinion she is, You may think differently...

“We are here because we are fighting for a democracy. Fighting for a democracy. And understand the difference here, understand the difference here, moving forward, moving forward, understand the difference here.”

It is amazing what some politicians will do with YOUR money just to garner favor - and votes - from a specific demographic. We really shouldn't let this thing that Biden did to us be swept under the rug, but they probably will just ignore it and  move on to other stupidity. 
There has been absolutely zero discussion on this subject during this 'campaign'. I love that phrase, by the way. Ever stop to think how many different ways that word is used?
