LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES AND ACTIVISM

liberals and conservativesBalladeer’s Blog remains the only site that criticizes both Liberals and Conservatives equally. Full disclosure: I used to consider myself a Liberal years ago before American Liberals adopted their attitude of “Islam: Right or Wrong!”

American Liberals (really illiberals) are such fundamental cowards and weaklings that it’s hilarious when they try to compare themselves to Liberals of long ago who REALLY DID show courage.

Twenty-First Century Liberals are really just hypersensitive, judgmental and intolerant jackasses exactly like the worst Conservative Christians they hate. Even more ridiculous is the way American Liberals actually think that “activism” means filing a complaint with higher authority to make them put a stop to something that upsets their delicate sensibilities.

FOOLKILLER 11: D-DAY ON KIBER ISLAND

Foolkiller hands on hips

So Foolkiller walks into a bar and the bartender says “Hey, buddy … Why the long neck?” Oh, wait – that’s all wrong.

Since it’s the superhero film time of the year Balladeer’s Blog’s “Script Doctoring” of Marvel’s handling of Foolkiller continues with Part Eleven.

This time around I rewrite all of The Defenders # 86 and bring my war between Wakanda and Atlantis to a close.

There are also new revelations about Foolkiller’s Purification Gun as his time with the Defenders rapidly nears its end.  Continue reading

ANOTHER BASEBALL CHAMP CROWNED AND MORE

*** NAIA ***

LCSC Logo - Primary FullCHAMPIONSHIP GAME – The 4 seeds – the LEWIS-CLARK STATE WARRIORS – faced the top seeded FAULKNER UNIVERSITY EAGLES for the NAIA title in college baseball. Runs piled up til it seemed like a Polo Match score as the Warriors and Eagles were tied at 2-2 in the 2nd Inning and 3-3 in the 4th. Faulkner U went on top 7-6 in the 5th Inning but Lewis-Clark State overtook them for a 12-7 advantage in the 6th.

That became just a 12-8 Warriors lead in the 7th Inning and that’s where things stood until the bottom of the 9th when the Eagles pulled to within 12-11  before falling. Pitcher Quin Grogan notched the Win as LCSC picked up its 18th baseball crown.  * THE WARRIORS ARE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS OF NAIA BASEBALL *   Continue reading

LIMPANG-TUNG: GOD OF PEGANA

Gods of Pegana

Gods of Pegana

Lord Dunsany’s 1905 book The Gods of Pegana and its 1906 followup, Time and the Gods, are forgotten masterpieces of comparative mythology which introduced the author’s pantheon of fictional deities. Though neglected today Dunsany’s work inspired authors from H.P. Lovecraft to J.R.R. Tolkein to C.S. Lewis. (But oddly, NOT e.e. cummings, A.A. Milne  or J.K. Rowling.)

LIMPANG-TUNG – The god of comedy, drama, music and all the other creative arts. Limpang-Tung thrived on providing humanity with distractions to take their minds off the inevitability of death. The sky was his canvas on which he painted forever-changing patterns of clouds and the events of the world were both a tragedy and a farce depicting the ultimate futility of human endeavor.

REPUBLICAN BILL KRISTOL:STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Panel left to right:  Margaret Hoover - Political Contributor, CNN, Author, American Individualism, President, American Unity Fund; Bill Kristol - Founder/Editor, The Weekly Standard, Contributor, ABC News;

Funny Man Bill Kristol: He always keeps the straightest face this side of Leslie Nielsen while making everyone around him convulse with laughter!

Oh, I know for most people the late Andy Kaufman will always be the greatest “concept” comedian ever, but I’ve always been partial to funny man Bill Kristol. Bill’s send-ups of smug, pompous, callous and snobbish Conservative pundits have been making me laugh for years. Like Paul Reubens with his Pee Wee Herman character or Paul Schaeffer with his Vegas schmoozer act, Kristol never broke character. His serious expression made the da-da-esque comedy spilling from his mouth even funnier.

Sure, Stephen Colbert stole Kristol’s act, but Colbert was always too mainstream. Even the most humorless people knew Colbert was spoofing that annoying windbag Bill O’Reilly but real hipsters knew there were huge elements of Bill Kristol’s shtick stolen line for line. It’s like how the early rock’n’rollers unashamedly stole a lot of black music, y’know?  

This week Kristol churned out his latest comedy masterpiece: he plucked a guy named David French out of the Federal Witness Protection Program and claimed he was running the stooge as a Third Party Candidate! This after teasing the “big reveal” over the Memorial Day weekend on social media, bragging about how potent this mystery candidate would be. Ah, Bill! You still got it!

This is funnier than Firesign Theater’s “Papoon for President” bits or Steve Gerber’s “Howard the Duck for President” gag way back in 1976. Leave it to Bill Kristol to find a mock candidate even more absurd than those!  Continue reading

MANIAC (1934): MOVIE REVIEW

Maniac 1934No, it’s not either version of the splatter film Maniac, it’s the 1934 bad movie classic. I got an e-mail requesting I review it but since I did already – in 2010 in fact, here is an “encore” version. For more bad movie reviews click here: https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

He becomes an accomplice in the good doctor’s dark experiments involving the reanimation of a dead woman (whose corpse he and Meierschultz steal from a morgue) and the transplantation of Continue reading
