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, dears. Here’s your flute and dig into the spread I’ve ordered for us today. Next week marks another full year around the sun for me and while I’ve lived, seen and even experienced some interesting times in these past mumble mumble decades, I still retain the capacity to be surprised at how far left the Left can go. Oh.my. While we keep watch for them disappearing over the cliff, let’s get to some choice bits from last week.

These are top people, friends … top people.
The Rushingbrook Children's Choir sang the National Anthem in Statuary Hall. a Capitol Police officer stopped them mid-song. Capitol Police claims they didn't stop the choir. The choir director tells the whole story in my exclusive interview here. https://t.co/ZRNbWy75la pic.twitter.com/ijiq4pw3X8

Didn’t matter that the choir had secured permission from multiple sources. Nope, nada, stick that anthem where the sun don’t shine mini-deplorables, you ain’t gonna sing cuz we said so.
These are the guys whose testimony we are supposed to accept about J6???

How cute, another Panderer of Pallor who feelz black folk should be satisfied with blackwashing iconic figures of literature and Euro/Western culture rather than original creations. Poor dude must find sub-Saharan history unworthy of exploring. #WhoIsTheRacistHere https://t.co/yTde7TgZKU

Notice that everything from the Founders in Hamilton to Cleopatra can be protrayed and/or played by black folk but I can’t think of one instance of the reverse happening. Any remake of “The Color Purple” with an all-white cast being pitched to producers? Oh, let’s face it. The woke studios are now just trolling us.
Universal’s live-action adaptation of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon has found its human riders.

For all the jokes about Puritans, nothing says anal retentive humorless scolds quite like Woke snowflakes.
With a much-anticipated stage remake of the film classic, Life of Brian, Cleese said he found himself under siege by several actors to drop offensive material from the movie. It is a scene being replayed across movie, television and comedy show venues. We are becoming less funny as activists squeeze edgy and insulting jokes out of material.
Monty Python may not be your cup of Earl Grey, but there were times they were bloody brilliant. The scene in question:
***************************
… it’s not like she even knows what a woman is.
Supreme Court rules 8-1 against unions’ claimed right to destroy employer property during strikes, with just one justice not getting the memo. (snip)
Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who served as the lonely dissenter on a cut-and-dried case regarding sneaky union tactics that destroyed company property during a strike.
Even the other liberals on the Court went along with the majority, 8-1, in the ruling.
Long story short, the case involved union strikers destroying company property during the strike. Jackson shills for BigLabor from the bench by protesting against strikers not being able to burn down the place they called “work”.
When employees stop working, production may halt, deliveries may be delayed, and services may be canceled. At the risk of stating the obvious, this means that the workers’ right to strike inherently includes the right to impose economic harm on their employer.
A striking employee may withdraw his or her own labor when going on strike but they cannot burn down the factory as they leave.
Only Jackson seems to disagree.
And Democrats with chaffed chaps want to pack the court with more just like her.
Oh, goody.
*****************************
Let’s end with a nice judicial victory against rampant Democrat racism (but I repeat myself).
How far will California go to enforce unfair and discriminatory racial and gender quotas? Until recently, the Golden State was willing to fine corporations up to $300,000 if they didn’t engage in such inequitable behavior.
Fortunately, on May 15, a federal district court put an end to that. In Alliance for Fair Board Recruitment v. Weber, it struck down a state statute that required racial and gender-identity quotas for board members of publicly held corporations in California. The court ruled that this quota statute violates the U.S. Constitution as well as federal civil rights law.
Chalk up one for the good guys here, dears.
I’m so giddy about this decision I want to send Gavin Newscum a fruit basket. Or a hemorrhoid-donut cushion made up of cold compresses.

Let me hand you a doggy bag before we go. Here’s to more victories between now and next Sunday. I’ll miss you until then, dears. Cheers!

GWB says: strikers not being able to burn down the place they called “work”.
Well, that wasn’t really what happened. What happened was that they struck in the middle of the day at a cement company, after the cement had been mixed and loaded into trucks. Once that concrete hardens it very likely ruins the trucks, and their walkout prevented its delivery (or emptying the trucks). It is clear cut, but not quite so obvious as throwing shoes into the gears at a factory. It was intended as an act of sabotage, and the court ruled that was what it was.
(Honestly, I have a hard time figuring out how a strike isn’t exactly that in all cases….)
Scott says: “Justice” Brown is completely incompetent, and unqualified for the job. Her ONLY “qualifications” are that she’s a black female.. It’s no surprise that she’s wrong on this decision. The only surprise will be if she’s EVER right on ANY decision… I’m not a betting man, but even if I were, I wouldn’t put money on it….
Amazing how EVERYONE that this regime puts in place checks plenty of boxes, except the ones related to actual job qualifications.. it’s almost as if it’s according to a plan…
