The President opened his mouth again. From PJ Media: Joe Biden embarrassed himself (yet again) on Thursday, proving once again that he should never try to riff during a public speech.“I just want you to know, I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid,” Biden quipped during the Annual Friends of Ireland Luncheon. “I marriedContinue reading “Stupid is as Stupid Does.”

Hard Szells.
Separated at birth? The movie Marathon Man was brought to mind recently, specifically the horrific character of Dr. Szell, the sadistic dentist, ably played by Lawrence Olivier. Since the movie’s release in 1976, your Tatler has wondered if there were any connection between that character’s name and the only other Szell known to him, GeorgeContinue reading “Hard Szells.”
This is Terribly Sad.
A Ukranian woman plays her piano one last time before quitting the wreckage of her home. (After false start, Chopin: Etude No. 1 in A-Flat, Op. 25.) Whether coincidence or not, the pianist’s choice of Chopin is telling, as the composer was half Polish and much grieved by the brutalization of that Slavic nation byContinue reading “This is Terribly Sad.”
Whatever Became of the United Nations?
Has anybody looked around Turtle Bay recently? Remember the United Nations? Or, if you are younger, have you heard of the United Nations? Believe it or not, once upon a time the UN was regarded as a big deal. By “regarded,” that is to say it was the great darling of the old-time liberal eliteContinue reading “Whatever Became of the United Nations?”
Having Another Crack at Permanent Daylight Saving Time.
It will fail like the last time. Nearly 50 years ago, in April 1973, President Nixon (during an OPEC oil embargo, no less) signed a bill from Congress enacting a renewable one-year trial of permanent daylight saving time. It was much debated, with opponents in and out of Congress arguing it would lead to, amongContinue reading “Having Another Crack at Permanent Daylight Saving Time.”
Compare and Contrast.
Holiness, whose side are you on? From the Catholic News Agency: After the legislature of the Mexican state of Sinaloa voted to legalize abortion up to 13 weeks (emphasis mine),the Diocese of Culiacán announced that Catholic politicians who voted in favor of the law will not be able to receive the Eucharist or be godparents.Continue reading “Compare and Contrast.”
Cloward-Piven Redux.
To reform something you must destroy it. Comes word the President’s puppeteers have decided he should decide to again open wide our borders with Mexico. The contrived rationale is somewhat complex (if you wish to slog through it, click here), but it hardly matters; the sole purpose is bringing in thousands or millions of illegalsContinue reading “Cloward-Piven Redux.”
Francis Cancels Another Conservative.
This past Wednesday Pope Francis made a seemingly peculiar move, as reported by Crux. ROME – On Wednesday, the Vatican announced with no explanation that Pope Francis “had relieved” Bishop Daniel Fernández Torres “from the pastoral care” of the Diocese of Arecibo in Puerto Rico. The bishop is only 57; bishops are required to submitContinue reading “Francis Cancels Another Conservative.”

Where Have They All Gone?
Biden bumper stickers are mysteriously disappearing from Taos. The Anglos of Taos, the largest ethnic group here and the last to arrive, are mostly solidly blue in their politics (which is not necessarily the case with the outnumbered Hispanos and Mestizos, who have been here for centuries). Blue Anglos are easy to pick out byContinue reading “Where Have They All Gone?”
