Unofficial QOTD-‘Lady Democracy Dead at 249’
As someone who has earned a master’s degree in sarcasm on the streets, I find it comforting that one hall of higher education is producing fellow sarcasm scholars.
From the Irish Rover, a Notre Dame student newspaper. A quote from the essay Lady Democracy Dead at 249 written by Ralph Emerson Slinkworth.

In Defense of Ethnic Discrimination
We’ve got all the wrong people in charge in this country. Thankfully, I don’t live in Los Angeles, but if I did, I would not want a lesbian named Kristin Crowley in charge of the fire department. The LA Fire Department website boasts, “Chief Crowley took the oath of office on March 25, 2022 – becoming the first female and LGBTQ Fire Chief in the LAFD. Chief Crowley leads a diverse department.” That’s not gonna save my house or life in an emergency.
The Irish have run American fire departments for a century or more. I want a tough Irishman named Murphy in charge of the fire department. Someone who looks like he could drink all night with the boys and still haul you out of a flaming building the next day. Someone who might have engaged in a few fisticuffs in his day. Someone who would run toward the fire and not toward a TV camera.

Latest Biden Pardon
In a statement from President Joe Biden, December 24, 2024.
I have been receiving many letters from concerned citizens about the arrest and possible future conviction of Chuck Mangione, which could result in the death penalty. The death penalty, man. Literally. For those who don’t remember, Chuck Mangione is most famous for playing trombone in the … what’s that? OK, maybe it was a trumpet or who the hell knows? It’s some kind of horn. His big song, the one he’s most beloved for, was “Feels So Right,” which apparently was a really big hit in Alabama. According to these letters, Mangione’s so called “crime” was just standing up to a health care executive in New York City. And crazy MAGA Republicans want to see him executed. Well, that’s not going to happen on my watch, so I’m giving him a pardon while I still can. Play on, Chuck.
