Bloom filter

What indeed was Bloomingdale’s thinking?

As usual, I interpreted the ad completely differently than everyone else, apparently.

I thought it was clear from the woman’s head being turned away as if laughing at a joke only she has knowledge of and the man’s vaguely confused/dazed look that the woman was implied to be the one having done the spiking. It never occurred to me that anyone in this particular ad would think the man had been the one slipping a mickey.

That doesn’t make it any better, though.

But everyone is talking about the ad so it worked, right?

Brussels

When will we finally discuss Brussels?

Note that it is not Islamophobia to not wish women to be treated like cattle, and to be rightly avoidant and disdainful of cultures who do wish this.

And if wanting equal rights for women makes me Islamophobic, and recognizing that importing large numbers of men who will gladly take those rights away from women who are already present if given the chance and the political power also makes me Islamophobic, then well hell I guess I am Islamophobic.

In many areas, the liberal left is full of just as many fairy stories as the ridiculous right.

Over that Hill-ary

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for war.

I don’t particularly like her, but I’ve voted for tons of people I don’t like in the past. But the actual reason I won’t be voting for her is that she is more hawkish than most of the Republicans and will almost certainly drag us into a war or two.

War is not helping America. Just as much as Radical Islam and moronic immigration policies, the Paris attacks can be blamed on Western war-making in the Middle East.

Bernie Sanders is clueless on foreign policy. But he’d still be better as he almost certainly wouldn’t drag us into any unnecessary wars.

In the end, I probably won’t vote at all because there is even now about a 99% chance Hillary Clinton will win.

And that will be a very sad day for everyone because contrary to what I’ve written here before, waging war overseas is the one area that a leader could make a difference. And in the case of Clinton, it’ll be a very terrible deviation indeed.
