Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.

Happy Sunday, dear friends! Welcome to the first day of June! Many thanks to my VG sister, Deanna, for carrying on the hosting duties last Sunday. Looking at the bar and food tab, you all had a wonderful time. And, as you can see, I’ve ordered up a sumptuous brunch to keep the good times rolling. As usual, the week has been filled with all gobsmacking things, as if we can ever be gobsmacked again. So lift up your flutes, pass the plates, and let’s get to it. L’Chaim!

Get on the LGBTQ train or get fired

Oh my goodness … for years now we have been subjected to video after video of teachers decorating their classrooms with “Pride” flags and gender-confusion books. But dare to display in your office space something that dissents from the Queering of America agenda?

Rod Theis has worked as an education specialist at the InterMountain Education Service District outside of Portland since 2008. In his office, Theis had displayed several children’s books, including two titled “He is He” and “She is She” as well as “Johnny the Walrus,” all books with messages rejecting transgender ideology.

A school employee saw some of the books and complained that they were “transphobic,” even filing a “bias incident” complaint with the district, the lawsuit says.

In response, the district opened an investigation and ultimately “ordered him to remove them and threatened him with discipline simply because it disagreed with the books’ content,” Theis’ lawsuit against the district, which he filed Wednesday, claims.

The district claims those books are ‘hostile animus’ towards other people. Strange how the recognition of basic biology is now a hostile act. I hope Rod Theis ends up owning the school district.

Harvard employees the best people

The Ivies just aren’t what they were 50 years ago.

A former Harvard Medical School morgue manager recently entered a plea in relation to an alleged scheme to steal and sell donated body parts.

Cedric Lodge, 57, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty to interstate transport of stolen human remains on Wednesday before Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. (snip)

Officials said Lodge admitted that from 2018 through at least March 2020 he participated in the sale and interstate transport of human remains stolen from the Harvard Medical School morgue in Massachusetts.

Lodge, then-manager of the Harvard Medical School morgue, removed human remains, including organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, dissected heads and other parts from donated cadavers after they had been used for research and teaching purposes, but before they could be disposed of according to the anatomical gift donation agreement between the donor and the school,

Lodge may be sentenced up to ten years in prison. But don’t feel too sorry for him, I’m sure Planned Parenthood will be there to offer him employment once he’s released.

Budlite Part Deux

Dylan Mulvaney is now advertising and modeling for a WOMEN’S perfume which is described as “peak feminity.”

Time to BOYCOTT Jean Paul Gaultier.

This is disgraceful.

I wonder who in the marketing department greenlighted this campaign?

Cal Poly tells Jews to “stop looking so Jewish”

Cal Poly? Cal Poly!

The Trump administration opened an investigation into anti-Semitism at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, after anti-Israel activists allegedly pelted their Jewish classmates with fake blood, and administrators encouraged the students to “hide their Jewish identity to avoid being targeted.”

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) launched the investigation in response to a civil rights complaint from the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under the Law, the legal advocacy group said on Tuesday.

Not just that, Cal Poly allowed pro-Hamas aggitators to disrupt a Jewish religious observance, even stealing a religious object one evening. The response was to tell the Jewish students to stop holding the observance at night.

Excuse me while I use a few choice obscenities and then wash the taste out of my mouth with an excellent bourbon.

Nope, no First Amendment for Jews (or Christians).

Your Sunday Smile

I love these stories about teens caught doing good.

From the south of England comes the eyewitness account of a road rescue by a hoard of good, young, Samaritans.

A photograph taken by a bystander shows one of the rescuers on top of the vehicle after it crashed, as well as a man and his 11-month-old son, who had been dragged from the wreckage by those who rushed to help.

The baby’s mother, still trapped inside at the time, was soon helped out through a passenger-side window.

Their parents did a good job.

Oh my, look at the time! I’m afraid our brunch has come to a close. Please enjoy the rest of your Sunday. It’s still spring and a great time to be outside. Walking, biking or relaxing in the shade with a good book, and a tall, iced beverage. See you next week, dears. Cheers!
