A laugh

At least the 10% tax on the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands has given us a laugh in the extraordinary world within we live.

    1. EC, I've followed Jackie's blog since I don't know when. She is very cool. Well, I do know when, as she offered to pick us up and take us to our hotel in Toronto when we visited Canada. That would be 2015.

  5. All species of penguins are legally protected from hunting and egg collecting, but I wonder who will protect them from insane tariffs?

    1. We need to help these penguins Hels. They are our responsibility, but it looks like Canada is ready to help us too.

  7. Those memes were very funny. We need all the tools in the tool bag, whether they be satire, irony, humour or bloody mindlessness.

    1. Sami, there have been and are extreme leaders, but #47 really tops the pile of excrement.

    2. Outside a small town here in a ruby red county, there is a large pile of excrement, farmyard waste. It is topped with a trump sign.
