Suspicious Parcel In France Contains Elephant PoopThey made a big production out of it, but to be fair to the French police, elephant poop is suspicious. I mean, what the hell do you do with it? I can't imagine it's part of a potpourri. [No link, I was just sent the article in full, without a URL.] Envelope containing elephant poo sparks alarm Traditional religious rites? Okay, whatever. Who knows. But pink? What sort of elephant was this? Thanks to Greg. posted by Ace at 01:43 PM

Probably intended for some artist who wanted to throw it at a picture of President Bush or Pope Benedict or something. Posted by: Slublog on August 4, 2005 02:02 PM
poop? you couldn't have said dung, or crap, or maybe even shit? lame. Posted by: trey on August 4, 2005 02:02 PM
Anybody see that video where some poor Indian elephant keeper is tending to the rear foot of an elephant, and the beast actually sits down on him? The poor guy's head went right up the pachy's...exit chute. Only quick thinking by another tender saved the guy from getting squished entirely. I bet that poor sucker had to leave town after that little episode -- he'd never be able to show his face in public again. Posted by: Monty on August 4, 2005 02:05 PM
Trey: It's a well-known fact that poop is one of the more comical-sounding euphemisms for excrement, with turd being an excellent substitute in certain situations. That is all. Posted by: Monty on August 4, 2005 02:06 PM
Perhaps this is the latest masterpiece from that cheap Nigerian hustler who made fools of the art "intelligencia" at the Brooklyn museum with his crude painting of a Madonna with real elephant dung on it. And someday, the 20th century will be known as by far the lowest point in the history of art (unless it manages to get even worse). The notion that only those select few who are educated in art and appreciate the beauty of modern creation will be revealed for what it is: a titanic fraud perpetrated upon the world by Leftists. Surely many artists feed into the idea that they are making great creations that many in the masses simply cannot understand, as great a self-delusion as any Liberal every enjoyed. But the Emperor cannot waltz around with no clothes forever, and sooner or later the people will see it for the doshit that it really is. And the people who so ardently championed it will be revealed for the fools that they really are. Posted by: 72 Art Hustlers on August 4, 2005 02:57 PM

Elephant poo in a envelope who would send something like this through the mail? Posted by: mad heron on August 7, 2005 04:06 PM
I lived in Washington, DC in 1985-87. One evening I got on a subway car heading downtown. As the doors closed behind me I became aware of this smell. I was raised on a farm, so I recognized the smell as that of the droppings of a large herbivorous mammal, but I could not identify the species. I looked around the car as it began to move. It was a bit less than half full. Every passenger except me had a large, transparent plastic bag half-full of what was presumably the source of the smell. I stood with my back pressed against the closed doors, remaining very still. I hoped that no one would notice me, that there would be no cry of "Hey! He doesn't have a bag of crap! Get him!" At the next stop, I quickly exited the subway car and got on the next one, after a quick visual and olfactory examination. As I was reading my subscription copy of the Washington Post that night, I ran across a one-paragraph article. It said that the circus was in town, and that free elephant manure would be available to gardeners. That is all I have to say. Posted by: Bob Hawkins on August 8, 2005 10:41 AM

I wonder if he was fearless. I wonder if he was scared. I wonder if he just did it anyway?-- Mike Rowe
Low-T High-Calorie Potato Brian Stelter: "Matthew Dowd is no longer an MSNBC political analyst, according to a network source."
Matt Dowd, former Disney Groomer Corporation Political Director and John McCain advisor (of course), is the one who blamed Charlie Kirk's shooting on the real assassin, Charlie Kirk, claiming that Charlie's "hateful words lead to hateful actions."
Trump speaks about the "heinous assassination" of Charlie Kirk, notes the left relentlessly demonized him until they radicalized an assassin to kill him
"For years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to NAZlS... this type of language is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the terrorism we're seeing in our country today.
Argentinian PM Javier Millei: "The left is always, at all times and places, a violent phenomenon full of hatred."
I disregard their hate. It's the violence that we object to. And we will begin objecting to it with force.
Update: Kash Patel says the person of interest has been interrogated and then released. Wrong guy, I guess.
But as the hours pass without a real suspect, and with the FBI apparently interrogating uninvolved people, I begin to fear the assassin has escaped. I mean, they don't seem to be following a breadcrumb trail, they seem genuinely baffled.
Karol Sheinin: I can confirm the person of interest questioned by the FBI is Zachariah Ahmed Qureshi.
If this is the guy -- apparently he also interned at Heritage. Update: Source says he's been released? Wrong guy?

James Varney: Reflecting on Hurricane Katrina twenty years later, and the partisan uses Democrats found for it
There was fear aplenty. But the truth is, a lot of the panic Americans saw on television was performative. The throngs of people along Convention Center Boulevard sat patiently in the broiling weather, five or six deep in folding chairs on the sidewalk, waiting for something, someone, to arrive. Then, a television crew or photographer would show up, and people would pour into the street, falling on their knees, screaming and gesticulating to the camera. It was an awful situation, obviously, but when the camera wasn't on them, it was remarkable how patient and orderly everyone was.

Elric the Blade says he's no longer sure that Trump will have the right to appeal in the NY fraud case:
Yesterday, I thought that Trump had an appeal as of right on the fraud liability, based upon news reports that cited the second opinion as declining to find in favor of liability. That would give Trump at least 2 dissenting judges for an appeal as of right. But now, after seeing the actual decisions, I'm not so sure. Sorry, guys. I've never seen or heard of what the second opinion did. They dissented, but ... decided not to dissent? I'm not sure what the effect is in terms of whether Trump has a right to appeal. I doubt anyone does. I think even if Trump doesn't have a right of appeal, the Court of Appeals (NY's highest court) will take the case. But ... it's a liberal court so who knows how they'll rule. I don't think they'll take the appeal. Judges are lazy and cowardly and will duck any hot potato case they can. These judges are also liberal hacks, and do not want to deliver Trump a full victory.
