Thursday Night ONT: Stolen Thunder Edition

Gee, I had a big section on the SJWs driving that poor porn star to kill herself, and Ace went and wrote a whole post on it. Frankly, I'm expecting to get the 21st century version of this letter in my email any day now.

A Smart Military Blog

Napoleon was the Best General Ever, and the Math Proves it.

Kind of interesting and wonky, a great article for historians who wish they were baseball nerds. I wasn't clear on how he determined the value for R, which is kind of key to his whole rating system. Still, worth a look and I know there are a number of stats minded people here who will eat it up.

Cute!

Smart little girl. Music is a great way to teach kids. They are like sponges for knowledge, a lot more than most adults give them credit for. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen was Little, when he was Wee Little, learning to manipulate his environment and establishing the relationship of different objects in it to each other. I could actually SEE him thinking.

Feel Good Story of the Day

He’s 22. She’s 81. Their Friendship Is Melting Hearts.

A 22 year old black rapper started playing Words With Friends with an 81 year old white retiree, and the two became fast friends. I think Ms Roz (the retiree) said it best:

Ms. Guttman doesn’t know what all the fuss is about, since “people should be behaving this way with each other all the time.”

Amen.

People Send Me Stuff for the ONT All The Time

Like this. “Celery is the toothbrush for your colon” What to make of it? I dunno.

Read the Bible

What the Book of Genesis Tells Us About Sexual Harassment and #MeToo

Or perhaps the words of John Adams ring true:

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

In any event, I've seen people claiming that everything going on in Washington is a result of the government falling apart. Maybe. But also maybe the Washington we have is the result of we the people falling apart.

Dilly Dilly!

Crushing it on social media:

Bud Light sends Minneapolis brewery a cease and desist from the Renaissance

Pretty damn clever. Also cool that they gave the brewery owners two tickets to the Super Bowl.

Dilly Dildo!

Bills fans are at it again. If this starts to become an annual tradition (and odds look good that it might), and if in response the Bills start searching fans entering the game for contraband dildos, I shudder to think exactly how these fans will start hiding them on their persons. :o

I'm Becoming a Big Fan of Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Is she the best Press Secretary we've ever had? Dunno about that, but she's the perfect Press Sec for Trump. Not only did she tell reporters trying to gin up outrage over Trump calling Warren “Pocahontas” last week that what was outrageous was Warren falsely claiming to have Indian heritage, but then there is this:

Drain The Swamp!

Just a reminder that we've got loons on "our side" too. Down the rabbit hole we go:

The Greatest Tradition in Sports

This weekend is the Army-Navy game.

Here are the Army unis, honoring the 10th Mountain Division

Christmas is the Gayest Time of Year

I axed all the stuff on the death of August Ames because Ace covered it earlier, but this was the “related” link.

#Gaytivities Making Christmas Gay Again

The gay mafia will make sure that you don't just tolerate, you must actively celebrate.

Tonight's ONT brought to you by language:

The Yahoo Group has been thinking about “Rum, Sodomy, and the lash”. It has decided that it likes 2 of the 3, but it won't say which 2. You'll have to join the group to find out.
