It's time for you to bury your beezer in the June ish of The Last Word!
This ish talks about my trip to St. Augustine, a waiter ruining some pancakes, a luxury development taking over a city-owned parking lot, more ruined board games, taking thorns to school to defend yourself, and more!

Today, I went to the parade, and an Allowed Cloud got hilariously violated.
As the parade was starting, a woman with 2 kids sat down in front of me on the curb. At first, I thought the woman was someone who went to my high school for precisely one day, but I don't think it was her. Before long, the woman whipped out a can of ice cold brew and proceeded to imbibe - in violation of alcohol ordinances.
She was cool!
But, surprisingly, nobody bubbled at the parade.
Which fascism will the corporate empire support today? Democratic fascism or Republican fascism?
A good rule of thumb is that they'll favor whichever party gets the fewest votes per newspaper endorsement. This means they supported Republicans through most of modern history, but began favoring Democrats when the underpants laptoppers took over that party. Whatever the weather, Democrats and Republicans exhibit largely the same fascism these days. Gavin Newsom and Nikki Haley would be the media's dream ticket.
Now there are plans for an expansion of the Republican Party of Kentucky's headquarters in Frankfort. The biggest donor was pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, which gave $1 million to the GOP for this project, which includes a new 6,800-square-foot building that will contain an auditorium. The project got funds from defense contractors too. Other big donors include AT&T, Verizon, Metropolitan Life Insurance, Microsoft, Comcast, and Delta Air Lines. It reads like a who's who of corporate tyranny. It also reams a bazooka hole through the idea that big corporations are progressive bastions. Of course, with the Democrats being what they are these days, donating to the Democrats would have indicated the same thing.
These donations are made possible by a 2017 state law allowing corporations to donate unlimited money to political parties' building funds. Whose dumb idea was that? What gnawing need was there for this law in 2017?
This is one of many stories showing why we need to prohibit corporations from giving to political parties. Corporations are a corrupting influence on politics.
My newest Substack entry is about ongoing COVID totalitarianism that continues even today and is slated to continue in coming months...
For most of the week, I was on vacation in St. Augustine. I plan to write about much of it in The Last Word, but there were 3 celebrity look-alikes: Anne Bloom, Gordon Ramsay, and Steve Perry.
Today at the Krogie-Wogie in Bellevue, an elderly woman cracked an LAP bunker blast in the orange juice aisle.
Oscar the Grouch was my favorite character on the ol' Ses!
As summer travel season looms, you may have an experience like the 'Sesame Street' kick-ass crew did in a 1990 episode. In this installment, Gordon misses the bus to a basketball game and asks the ol' Osk and his girlfriend Grundgetta to drive him there...
But did Oscar say a bad word?
There was an episode of 'The Brady Bunch' in which Mike famously declares, "It's 6:00 in the morning," but there was clearly a word edited out just before "morning." It's pretty obvious he said a bad word. Something similar happens in this 'Sesame Street' episode. At 1:05, Oscar says to Gordon, "Just tell us how to get to the game and we'll be on our way." But there's a strange pause right before "game" - as if a word had to be edited out.
This kicks off a suspenseful narrative in which Oscar and Grundgetta take Gordon on a futile drive down Pothole Parkway - which makes the roads around here look like an Autobahn in comparison. It's really not even a road. It looks like it's just an alley between brick walls and buildings. It also requires a toll paid in old candy wrappers.
Spoiler alert! The delays cause Gordon to miss the whole game. He tries listening to it on Oscar's car radio, but the radio breaks just before the game's exciting conclusion. Sportscaster Marv Albert then appears out of nowhere and drives Gordon home.
Oscar the Grouch. A king among men!
The dumbest governor in America (outside New Mexico) strikes again!
We already knew that New York Gov. Kathy Hochul isn't exactly a force for good in the world, and now the tragic Hochul saga gets even worse!
Yesterday, Hochul was speaking at a forum in California and began talking about "young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word 'computer' is."
Elected officials from the Bronx rightly blasted Hochul for her racism.
This is Evan Mecham-level stuff. Forty years ago, an idiot like Hochul would have stood out for her stupidity. These days, hardly anyone notices. One reason is that the rest of America's political, corporate, and academic leadership provides real competition to see who can be the dumbest or most evil. Like Hochul, many manage to be both stupid and evil. Many are simply horrible people. Another reason people don't notice is that the media won't do their job like it used to, so stories like this aren't reported much.
Just resign already, Kathy.
May wouldn't be so biptacular if it didn't have the May ish of The Last Word!

I just received an important e-mail declaring that a Gallagher look-alike was seen at a local park today.
In the United States of America, you're supposed to be allowed to have a gun in your home. I'm also not against allowing concealed carry in most cases.
But new legislation in Iowa and Tennessee has raised questions about why schools are permitted to violate federal gun laws. These states are about to join several others in allowing teachers to carry guns in school - which has a real potential for not only accidents but also deliberate violence.
There's a federal law called the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990. This law was ruled unconstitutional not long after it passed, but it was rewritten to apply only to guns that had moved in interstate commerce - which happens to include almost all guns. The law says you can't have a gun in most situations within 1,000 feet of school property.
The law has a few exceptions, one of which is that this law is not supposed to apply in people's homes. Yet a woman was convicted for having a gun in her home, because it happened to be in a school zone. Unbelievably, another federal court later upheld this conviction. Federal authorities warned a New Hampshire town that hunters would be violating the law if they used the town's public hunting grounds, as part of it was within 1,000 feet of a school. The law is also broad enough that it's easy for people to violate it just by traveling with their gun in their car, even when it wouldn't otherwise be illegal.
In short, this law has been used to go after hunters and people who have guns at home. So why are states allowing guns in schools? Why are schools above the law?
This is selective enforcement at its worst. The heavy hand of this law comes down hard on those who seem to pose no threat. Yet authorities look the other way as guns are introduced in schools, which should be a refuge against violence. But even without all the guns, schools have become some of the most dangerous places, and it's because some schools have such dangerous administrators - who have a history of running roughshod over the well-being of our young people.
Why are people punished for guns in their own home while our schools are allowed to become a potential firing range?

It fails to stink.
America's national parks are an amazing treasure. But lately, our rulers have tried making a mockery of the whole system. It's not limited to the Department of the Interior's scuttling of a successful contingency plan that had kept parks open during a government shitdown.
Recently, the National Park Service stopped accepting cash for entry fees at many of its parks - forcing people to use a credit card. This has prompted a lawsuit citing the fact that cash is to be considered legal tender.
The National Park Service's defense of the parks' cashless policies is incredibly dumb. They said it costs too much to "process" cash.
"Process" it? Cash doesn't need to be "processed" like credit cards do. Cash has been around since prehistoric times. Can you imagine cave people sitting around and "processing" money?
We're barreling harum-scarum into a social credit system, and the attempted phaseout of cash is one of the ways in which it is being facilitated.
Cash. Use it or lose it!
According to the New York Daily News, a member of New York City Council abused city e-mail accounts to raise donations for a nonprofit tied to the Chinese government - run by the Chinese Communist Party.
Councilmember Susan Zhuang of Brooklyn - a right-wing Democrat - is under fire for these acts that appear to violate ethics laws.
The organization in question put together a parade in Brooklyn but also advocated for and worked with Chinese government entities. The donation request appeared in an e-mail last month from the official city council address of a Zhuang staffer. The nonprofit is also linked to a cohort of CCP-controlled groups outside China that aims to suppress criticism of the party and influence countries to enact pro-CCP policies.
Zhuang also recently helped organize an embarrassing far-right rally against a proposed homeless shelter.
Look under the toilet lid of any recent authoritarian trend in American public policy, and there's a good chance there's some link with the CCP. But there are usually more direct links with the CIA, which itself is CCP-linked. Major American media outlets are always happy to help them. The media supports authoritarian policies, and therefore, they support authoritarian regimes. The parent companies of top news organizations also have major interests in China like amusement parks and other investments. This is also why American movie studios censor their products to appease the Chinese government. Even the versions of movies distributed in the U.S. are edited like this.
And - you knew this was coming - this is also why the media praised China's COVID response but bashed Sweden's response. They continue to do it.
America and many other countries are becoming more and more like colonies of the Chinese Communist Party.
When it rains, it pours!
Today at the Target in Newport, I detected the sound of 3 - count 'em, 3 - LAP bunkeroos.
We can all agree that Florida had a better COVID response than most of the rest of America, but the Miami area was a stark exception. True to form, the city of Miami Beach continues to violate the Constitution with no end in sight.
The city recently announced it would start searching bags of people entering the beach. This is an unambiguous Fourth Amendment violation. There is no wiggle room on this. The Fourth Amendment's safeguard against unreasonable searches and seizures seems almost tailor-made for protecting against this.
Somebody posted on a Reddit forum for legal advice asking if this was unconstitutional. Of course it is. But someone replied...
"No, it's not Unconstitutional.
"You can avoid your bag being searched by not going to the beach or not taking your bag to the beach.
"If you choose to take your bag in, you are consenting to the search.
"If you refuse the search, they won't search, but they also won't let you in."
Wrong, stupid. The beach is public in every sense of the word. The whole point of a free country is that you don't have to avoid going to public places like the beach. You don't have to choose to stay away from a public place just so you won't be searched.
Allowing these beach searches is no different from stopping and searching every car driving down the street.
What's shocking is that someone who is apparently an adult has so little grasp of basic civics. But this isn't new. Paid trolls have been filling online forums for years. I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA is funding trolls like this now. Bet on it.
Hopefully, someone will sue Miami Beach.

The most hilarious time of the year - bubbling season - is fast approaching!
Today, some woman walking up the street bubbled.
San Francisco is borrowing a page from the Campbell County playbook!
In a video released on Saturday, the superintendent of the San Francisco school system declared, "We must have fewer schools."
Civilized countries are building more and better schools. But in America, schools are being shuttered. It appears as if San Francisco will be a particularly egregious offender. For many years, San Francisco was one of America's great cities. Now it's experiencing the same decline suffered by Cincinnati 40 years ago. At least Cincinnati survived that - though not unscathed. There's no guarantee San Francisco will even last another 40 years.
Make no mistake, San Francisco schools have seen a steep drop in enrollment in the past few years. But most of that was the schools' doing. After schools first closed over COVID, the city's schools could have returned to completely normal operation before the end of the school year. Yet the district chose to wait over a year before reopening at all, and didn't go back to normal business for months after. It was so bad that the city took the unique step of suing the school district. The only positive in this story is that the city sued. At least that's better than what occurred in other communities, where city or county officials let schools' incompetence at the time go unanswered. But this shows just how bad San Francisco schools got. Indeed, school systems that did not resume normal operation by mid-2020 should be required to forfeit public funds they got in the ensuing months or years of bad conditions, but that's another matter altogether.
We spent our entire youths being harangued about how important school was. What message does it send when school districts close schools?
In my long-running spirit of coolsterism, I've done a couple small, local Roads Scholarings in recent days. They'll make your face fly off in public, and we start out with a new road in Dayton, Kentucky...

COVID relief funds have been wasted on everything from turkey statues to tearing down amusement parks, and it's covered in my latest Substack entry...
https://open.substack.com/pub/bandit73/p/new-normal-can-be-a-real-turkey
Earlier I received an important e-mail that mentioned a bunch of interesting things.
Perhaps key among them is the restroom destructment at the Cincinnati airport a couple weeks ago. A men's room near the idiotic CNBC store had an overflowing toilet with a whole river of pee water running along the wall. Another beethoom was so bad that it was closed.
At a New York airport, a man oafishly spilled coffee all over his wife's phone and luggage.
As if that wasn't enough, a man spilled Coke all over the floor of a sightseeing bus.
Last year was full of Columbus biperoony.
In November, we drove up to the Columbus Zoo. This outing actually gave us 4 photos for my Roads Scholaring collection. So glide over here...
