Maskless Marauders 0

Rex Huppke minces no words about the maskless morons who saw fit to invade a public library.

Let’s start in St. Charles. On Wednesday, I called the St. Charles Public Library and heard this recorded message: “Due to the heightened threat to health and safety, the library is currently closed.”

A reasonable person might ask, “Why is there a threat to health and safety at a public library?” The answer, not surprisingly, involves a number of unreasonable people acting like jerks.

On Jan. 18, a group of 30 to 40 unmasked people took a bold stance against rule-following and trotted into the library’s youth service department to protest the library board’s mandatory mask policy, which is in line with the statewide mask mandate. This unsafe and truly pathetic act is apparently what passes for “patriotic” among those who think posting videos of themselves doing childish, unfunny things on social media is a path to right-wing-goober celebrity status.

More unminced words at the link.

Here’s a bit of his commentary:

Deciding you’re “over it” and refusing to take basic precautions to keep yourself and others safe once again puts the most vulnerable amongst us at risk, and the numbers show it.

Honest to Betsy, you can’t make this stuff up (and you wouldn’t want to). Warning: Short commercial at the end, but you can skip it if you want to. But honest to Pete and Betsy both . . . .

We are a society of stupid.

Just when you thought that the twits on Twitter couldn’t get any more stupid, they prove you wrong . . . again.

One more time, “social” media isn’t.

There is no truth to the rumor I’m starting right here that they were planning to meet up with Ted Cruz.

Road Hazards 0

It is generally considered unwise to drive in a blizzard. I had to do it once and it was one of the scariest experiences of my life.

Mind you, it wasn’t a blizzard when I started out. We broke up our meeting early to beat the snow, but the snow won. Somehow, I made it home in my Chevette–a half-drive that took an hour and a half–where we remained snowed in for the better part of a week.

Sadly, we seem to be nearing peak unwisdom.

Afterthought:

I was living in Arlington, Va., at the time. That was the storm in which a jet crashed into the Potomac.

“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 0

As we are repeated reminded, a polite society is a clean society.

Again, “responsible gun owner” is an oxymoron.
