The misguided fools at Ferrari S.p.A. have chosen to take the blue pill and are now in a merry chase with Jaguar® to bankruptcy. It’s a mystery to your Tatler how the woke can be so asleep. h/t Not the Bee

Bickerstaff, now far from the mayhem, still cannot help noting with sorrow the City’s collapse. Below, see a story from the New York Post, which is one of many in today’s police blotter, but representative of them all. The Upper West Side has devolved into a Wild West atmosphere where anything goes, terrified crime victimsContinue reading “As his beloved city falls into ruin,”

This sort of nonsense must stop. BREAKING: Republican Senators, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins vote “Yes” and confirm another Far-Left Judical Nominee from the Biden Administration. Bickerstaff has long wondered why certain elected officials like the above insist on calling themselves Republicans when they consistently vote Democratic. The only possible explanation which comes to mindContinue reading “Traitors to their party”

Your Tatler took the day off from blogging today, but as recompense (over?), is posting a piece from the New Liturgical Movement on a subject that some might say is more than a little esoteric (therefore, right up Bickerstaff’s alley). Titled The Power of Prepositions. It is written by the distinguished scholar Michael P. Foley,Continue reading “Making sense of the prepositions”

In your Tatler’s youth, long, long ago, it was the tradition of the family to alternate yearly the locales where Thanksgiving was celebrated; in CT where we lived, and NY where relations lived.

Who knew, there are multiple pronunciations of this most American of holidays, though we big-hearted Americans also permit our Canadian neighbors to celebrate it, but on a different date (25 October in ’25). The New York Post, as is its wont, decided to look into the matter of  pronunciation of the word and turned upContinue reading “Thanks-GIV-ing or THANKS-giv-ing?”

From the Daily Signal,”As part of mandatory diversity training, NYC firefighters are lectured about ‘The Genderbread Person’—a cartoon that explains the ‘spectrum of countless identities’ people can have.” This fireman hits it on the nose: “The Genderbread Person looks like the FDNY got a contract with some activist group who specializes in children’s propaganda.” TheContinue reading “Is there no end to this BS?”

In this morning’s New York Sun: ‘Enough Is Enough’: Lawmakers Seek To Halt Federal Aid to Colleges That Boycott, Divest From Israel  After a bit of editing, an improved headline: Enough Is Enough’: Lawmakers Seek To Halt Federal Aid to Colleges There, that’s better.

Horrid music will continue to blight Holy Mass. Regular readers may recall an earlier post where Bickerstaff congratulated Bishop W. Shawn McKnight of the Diocese of Jefferson, Missouri, for banning some of the particularly egregious hymns often used in the mass. Your Tatler, a former Episcopalian having some knowledge of hymns, praised His Grace on theContinue reading “What a pity, His Grace should have stuck to his guns”

His crime? He decided he did not want to “transition” to a woman. Simon B Amaya Price (above), a student at the Berkelee College of Music, who successfully deals with the difficulties of autism, has met with an even greater challenge. After being in a confused state Amaya Price decided he wanted to become a woman.Continue reading “This poor soul has gone through holy hell”
