Jean Meslier, my favorite priest

French Economist Frederick Bastiat would have told Jean Meslier that if every peasant could have personal plots to raise food and/or shops to sell desired goods and ply desired skills and trade them with each other and others abroad, they wouldn’t be in thrall to either priests or lords.

According to the wiki page, the fishing lure originated in Pennsylvania. But Southerners use the term Wooly-Booger for any excessively hirsuted person, animal, or thing.

“Booger,” by itself, was popularized on radio by WKRP’s Johnny Fever, over objections of Mr. Carlton. Between Dr. Johnny Fever and Crow T. Robot and diffusion of radio…[Read more]

Wooly bugger is an artificial fly used in fly fishing. I think it mainly imitates a minnor or some acquatic creature and is effective for both trout and salmon.

Schumer falsely claimed America’s founders called the country “God’s noble experiment”.

A God wouldn’t need an “experiment,” since He would know the results in advance and could change the results anyway.

Of course, Chuck Schumer was the one who put the cheese on his grilling raw burgers before they were done. Please, Chuck, leave that to…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg 🙂

Have a great week everyone!
