Random Silliness

Do you have some random factoids still sitting in your lower brainstem, some going back to very early childhood? You don't? More's the pity. I have a wagon load. They re-enter current time and space unannounced as is their wont. Today's edition. One of the sillier suits of all time.

Kirby's name was spoofed in the animated series The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, wherein a man's hat (size 7-5/32) was called the "Kirward Derby". It supposedly had magic powers that made its wearer the smartest person in the world. Kirby considered suing, but his business manager pointed out that it would only bring more attention to the show. Jay Ward, producer of The Bullwinkle Show, even offered to pay Kirby to sue him; however, he did not pursue any further action.

Well, not so silly as Donald J. "peace for our time" Chamberlain suing the Beeb for telling the truth. But we now live in Alzheimer's Ronnie, II's world. Likely what caused said factoid to bubble to the surface.

President Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion on Monday evening over the editing in a documentary that the British broadcaster said had left the "mistaken impression" that he called for violent action before the storming of the U.S. Capitol.

Really?

Rep. Madeleine Dean said that one of Trump's key defenses is that he says during his speech: "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

But Dean said that was a "few seconds" in a nearly 11,000-word speech and that it was the "only time President Trump used the word peaceful or any suggestion of nonviolence." She said that wasn't the overarching message.

She said, "President Trump used the word 'fight' or 'fighting' 20 times, including telling the crowd they needed to 'fight like hell.'"

The Beeb made no mistake. Nor did most of the USofA's citizens. Just the MAGAthugs who did storm the Capitol at Bone Spur Samurai^©'s behest.

In an interview with the same committee, Mr. Trump's driver, whose name was not disclosed, said: "The president was insistent on going to the Capitol. It was clear to me he wanted to go to the Capitol."

Batshit J. Moron wins the Kirward Derby.
