This Week in Crazy....or Stupid

know. What do you mean, “this week” in crazy? With today’s regnant liberalism, we could easily do “the last half-hour in crazy.” But I do have a day job, plus a wine and whisky addiction that has to be attended to, so I have to be, as the great Ian Faith put it, “more selective.” (Bonus pop culture points for knowing that reference.)

Let’s start with . . . Paul Krugman. I know. You’re thinking, “Do we have to?” Yes, because, behold this Tweet:

Though it does remind me of the suggestion that singer Cheryl Crow once made that we all use only one square of toilet paper, to “save the planet,” naturally. Which prompted perhaps Mark Steyn’s greatest line ever: “All we are saying, is ‘give one piece a chance.'” That would be the left today, certainly.

Like I say, This Week in Crazy. Though you can call it This Week in Stupid, too.

UPDATE. See what I mean about stepping away for a half hour? The Guardian goes and does this:

Woman stabbed herself because she was sick of living in Donald Trump’s America

The 46-year-old woman, who is not named by authorities, reportedly slashed herself three times in the stomach in Palmetto, Florida on June 2. When police responded to her home, she lifted her shirt and showed an officer ‘three stab wounds on (her) stomach that were still bleeding.’ ‘I observed blood all over (her) legs, hands, and face,’ the officer said, according to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun. The officer wrote in an incident report that the woman told him: ‘I’m tired of living in Trump’s country. I’m tired of Trump being President.’

How Illinois Schools Teach Preschoolers To Celebrate Transgenderism

To get a sense of what all Illinois public schools must begin teaching children starting next year, one can look at LGBT curriculum developed this summer in a wealthy Chicago suburb.

Starting July 1, 2020, all Illinois public schools are legally required to teach children LGBT history and only buy textbooks that include the topic. NPR affiliate Illinois Public Radio labeled Christian and conservative opposition to this law while it was being considered as stemming from “hate groups.”

This is what it looks like when an ignorant person talks to a [Really Ignorant Person[/b]

 

The Moron Chip Theory:

Deep within the brain of most humans, resides the Moron chip. This chip, when working properly, is constantly observing the person's behavior. In the event of dangerous or stupid behavior, it will go into alarm mode. Historically, this chip may be what helped the smarter cavemen to not become "food" or "stuff on a rock".


What we have here is a moron chip failure

PETA Sues to Give Pigs German Constitutional Rights

The issue is known as “animal standing,” and activists want to let beasts sue in court to “break the species barrier” and create animal personhood, meaning moral equality between us and them.

Chimps were not allowed such a status in New York, as the NonHuman Rights Projects now seeks to have an elephant declared a person. An orangutan in Argentina was declared a nonhuman person and granted a write of habeas corpus from a zoo. The ape was recently moved to a sanctuary in Florida, which ironically shows we are still in control regardless of whether it is based on “rights” or duties.

Now, in Germany, PETA has sued to have pigs declared subjects of constitutional rights. They want to stop pig castration — an animal welfare issue certainly worth debating. But the radicals also want pigs granted constitutional protection and the right to sue in court, claiming misanthropically that animals are akin to slaves. (Slavery is evil because it treats equals unequally. Animal husbandry properly treats unequals — us and animals — unequally.)

Granting animals standing in court would have astounding consequences. From the Greenwich Time story:
