William Ziegler’s Obituary on The Times-Picayune

William Ziegler escaped this mortal realm on Friday, July 29, 2016 at the age of 69. We think he did it on purpose to avoid having to make a decision in the pending presidential election.

Bayou Renaissance Man: Some jokes just write themselves . . .

Should the cops try to keep them apart, or offer them water, sodas and coffee to replenish their arsenals, so to speak? For that matter, should they sell tickets to let the rest of us throw nasty things at all three groups? I’d be willing to pay for that!

Ready: New Rossum’s Universal Robots: Toward a Most Minimal Wage – The Unz Review

The current notion is that when a yoyo factory automates and lays off most of its workers, they will find other well-paid jobs and continue to buy yoyos. But as well-paid jobs everywhere go automated, where will the money come from to buy yoyos? Today participation in the work force is at all- time lows and we have a large and growing number of young who, unable to find good jobs, live with their parents. They are not buying houses or renting apartments. (They may, given the intellectual level of today’s young, be buying yoyos.)

GOODSTUFFs CYBER WORLD: Atomic Hand Held Weapons are Scary

I go to the sporting goods section, a perfect gruesome area where implements of death and destruction are openly and brazenly sold. I notice a atomic hand held weapon just lying on a shelf. I reach for it as if it was a South African centipede, wondering if it will go off when I pull it off the shelf. That’s right, a shelf. Where anybody could get it.

Bacon!

The Devil is in New Hampshire!

U.S. Justice

In 1971, Gerald Mayo brought a civil rights action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Satan and his servants, who allegedly placed deliberate obstacles in Mayo’s path. In its written opinion, the Court did not deny Satan’s existence, but asserted that it was unlikely that Satan was ever present in the Western District of Pennsylvania, stating, “We question whether plaintiff may obtain personal jurisdiction over the defendant in this judicial district.”

In a jocular reference to The Devil and Daniel Webster, the court implied that Satan might live in New Hampshire, stating, “While the official reports disclose no case where this defendant has appeared as defendant there is an unofficial account of a trial in New Hampshire where this defendant filed an action of mortgage foreclosure as plaintiff.” This appears to be the only published legal case in the U.S. concerning Satan, and the present U.S. official position seems to be that Satan may exist and, if so, might be found in New Hampshire.
