Remember the Days when California Liberals used to Lecture Smokers on the Dangers of Secondhand Smoke?

 

Irony, Thy Name is COVID!

Ah, Earth Day...the Irony!

Monday April 22nd. was Earth Day. A day dedicated to saving the planet through energy conservation and...recycling!

STOCKTON — A thick, billowy plume of black smoke visible for miles scarred an otherwise pristine blue sky over the Port of Stockton on Monday afternoon, caused by a stubborn, wind-blown fire at... a recycling center.

...The blaze was fueled mostly by pallets of paper, plastics and other recyclables.

Forget your carbon offsets! Ain't no thicker, blacker smoke than a good plastic fire. Burning tires come close, if you have enough of them, but the irony of filling a pristine blue sky with thick black smoke from recyclables on Earth Day was just too precious not to take note of! And, lest we forget, April 22nd. is also Vladimir Lenin's birthday!

Happy Earth Day from Stockton, California! Happy belated birthday, Vlad!

Not the Onion...

Update: Full quote:

“Here at Planned Parenthood, we firmly believe that every person has the right to live, work, and raise a family freely and without the threat of deportation or separation.”

If only deportation was the worst thing to happen to every person that entered Planned Parenthood!

Obama Proves Once Again the Liberals are Irony Impaired

"On Capitol Hill, one side is invested in failure."

-Barack Obama

Barack Obama finally speaks the truth and doesn't even realize it! The party of Solyndra, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, barricading the veterans' memorial, the stimulus that didn't, high unemployment, multiplying the national debt, the 'Arab Spring', IRS targeting, NSA spying, reporter eavesdropping, Healthcare.gov, and turning NASA into a self esteem program for Muslims, has been invested in failure for years.

Their biggest investment in failure stood in front of Styrofoam columns, prattled on about lowering sea level, being more flexible with the Russians, keeping your healthcare and doctor if you like them, and brandishing a Nobel Peace Prize he didn't earn.

I've often said it about one of his disciples, but it appears to be true of Obama as well:

He has more projection than a multiplex!

"I Think We Can Coexist Better If One of Us is Dead"

From the 'truth is stranger than fiction' department, I have heard from two different sources now, that the car the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing used as a getaway car, had a "Coexist" bumper sticker on it. But, then, anyone with that low of a regard for human life would lie about other things, too.

Update: Apparently this was on the back of the car they hijacked. Perhaps now the owners of the car will see the folly of their ways?

WikiLeaker Leaked Upon

In a bit of irony, (you can't make this stuff up), Julian Assange's lawyers are "crying foul" for someone leaking his police files.

Incriminating police files were published in the British newspaper that has used him as its source for hundreds of leaked US embassy cables.

In a move that surprised many of Mr Assange's closest supporters on Saturday, The Guardian newspaper published previously unseen police documents that accused Mr Assange in graphic detail of sexually assaulting two Swedish women. One witness is said to have stated: "Not only had it been the world's worst screw, it had also been violent."

Bjorn Hurtig, Mr Assange's Swedish lawyer, said he would lodge a formal complaint to the authorities and ask them to investigate how such sensitive police material leaked into the public domain. "It is with great concern that I hear about this because it puts Julian and his defence in a bad position," he told a colleague.

Aside from the possible illegalities involved in leaking these documents, does the term "Sauce for the Goose" come to anyone else's mind?
