Let’s say you have a buddy who is getting married.

And let’s say your buddy tells you his fiance has set up a wedding registry on Amazon.

You can go to that wedding registry and buy something his fiance wants and have it shipped directly to their address.

You can back out and add a bunch of stuff to that registry order and have it all shipped to their house in one package, as long as it all has the same Amazon prime delivery date.

Let’s say you are a generous friend, that wants them to enjoy their staycation honeymoon.

I’m just saying it’s possible to send both a Dutch oven set, a large bottle of personal lubricant, and a bouquet of dildos in the same box, direct from Amazon prime.

First from Oberbürgermeister de Blasio:

How do you report places that aren’t enforcing social distancing? It’s simple: just snap a photo and text it to 311-692. #AskMyMayor pic.twitter.com/WQdCcVf1Rl

First of all, Also, (and I will admit that this is my opinion) New Yorkers are not “warm” people.  They are assholes.

But more importantly, New Yorkers have been shit as social distancing.

As the New York Post put it, Google data show New Yorkers doing less social distancing than people in Italy, Spain.  

Or as ABC7NY put it, Coronavirus News: Social distancing is not happening on the NYC subway.

That is why the mayor wants people to rat out their fellow citizens who are not following his protocols.

New York is not alone, the mayor of Los Angeles wants his residents to do the same thing.

Do you own a small business that the Governor has decided is “non-essential?”

Are you trying to keep your head above water during this time?

Don’t worry, the city of LA will have have the good people of the city rat you out to the LAPD for hiding Jews in your attic staying open trying to make ends meet.

I can’t imagine a worse thing to do than empower every Karen in New York and LA to call or text a secret hotline to turn in their neighbors for violating a guideline.

I’m not saying that social distancing is a bad thing, but encouraging people to call the cops for not social distancing is right out of the George Orwell playbook.

Once again, I have to remind Leftists:

1984 was not to be used as a “how to” manual.  

Patton Oswalt used to be a genuinely funny guy.  I thought his old standup was hilarious.

Unfortunately, like much of Hollywood, he has been affected by a severe case of TDS.

That lead him to Tweet this, thinking it was witty.

There are so many things wrong with this that it’s hard to know where to begin.

Anne Frank didn’t hide in an attic because some politicians decided she needed to social distance to halt the spread of the flu.

She hid in an attic for two years because the Nazis were engaged in the genocide of the Jews.  When she was discovered, she was sent to a concentration camp where she died of Tyhups.

During the Holocaust, 85% of Jews who were sent to concentration camps were exterminated.  By 1943, the German mass murder machine was gassing 6,000 people per day.  Putting that in comparison, the total number of US Coronavirus deaths are not even a full week of work at Auschwitz.

Comparing Jews hiding from mass extermination to the overreaction of some politicians to a virus is obscene.

Such a downplaying of the Holocaust would get him excoriated if he were not such a Leftist.

And if he statement was even close to reality, his Tweet suggests that Nazieque tyranny is fine if you have Netflix and Grub Hub, which smacks so hard of Aldous Huxley’s Soma that it makes my head spin.

The irony here is that Oswalt in one of those who spent the last three years saying “Trump is Orange Hitler,” but now wants you to accept your governors having the power to make you hide in an attic.

Lastly, the assumption that the people protesting are doing it because of the inconvenience and not that they are going bankrupt and want to go back to work and make a paycheck is a completely out of touch take on the situation.

What I can guarantee is that the people who are screaming to reopen the Fuddruckers are the franchise owners – who are small business owners – and their employees who are losing money and their life savings in the shutdown.

Oswalt is an actor worth $14 million, and he makes his money mostly doing funny voices for cartoon characters.  His eating delivery while watching Netflix isn’t destroying his career.

This “let them eat home-delivery cake” coming from wealthy celebrities is really starting to grate.

I think my performance guillotines are going to hot sellers when this shit is over.

Trump saw the World Health Organization’s totally incompetent, Chinese lickspittle response to the Coronavirus outbreak and decided to defund it.

Reflexively, the Left started their caterwauling of “how dare Trump defund such a vital organization!”

Then, in the single most tone-deaf, Trump justifying, hold me beer act anyone could imagine, the WHO announced this:

The WHO is collaborating with Lady Gaga for a concert staring every celebrity you forgot existed and stopped giving a shit about during the Coronacrisis.

As people’s focus has been consumed by important things, like trying to survive financially in these trying times, and mourning the loss of those who died of a virus, Hollywood and the music industry have been suffering mightily from a lack of attention, which is the sustenance that sustains them.

They have untied in the most impossibly bad way to use the Coronavirus outbreak to make themselves the center of attention.

Their message couldn’t be clearer: “While you people at home are making masks and donating food to doctors, nurses, and first responders on the front lines against the Coronavirus, won’t you think about the poor, ignored, millionaire celebrities?”

The only thing that could get me to watch this would be if all these celebrities were trapped on an island with a bunch of Coronavirus patients and told to fight to the death for the one available N95 mask.

The fact is, this bullshit proves that Trump cannot defund the WHO fast enough.

The government said 6,700 people died in Guayas province in the first two weeks of April, far more than the usual 1,000 deaths there in the same period.

Guayas is home to Guayaquil – the nation’s largest city and the part of the country worst-hit by Covid-19.

Footage obtained by the BBC showed residents forced to store bodies in their homes for up to five days.

Coronavirus: Ecuador sees massive surge in deaths in April

The video has parts of other videos I already posted before, but they are subtitled for your viewing pleasure.

The numbers mentioned in the BBC article do not match the ones published by John Hopkins, but after following this insanity for a bit, I will have to go with a higher count.

And, of course, digging mass graves kinda disrupt the official low count.

Fabiola “Karen” Santiago is a columnist for the Miami Herald and it seems that people going out of their homes, sick of being enclosed for so long is enough to wish them death.

Dear Fabiola, here is a simple tip that may make your life a bit easy during times like this.

If you are afraid of getting sick, DO NOT GO OUT!
Stay Away For Other People’s Business!

I seriously don’t know how to express it any easier.

PS: I think Barbarita’s Liquor II in Miami Lakes delivers in your neighborhood. Give them a call.

UPDATE:  She “apologizes” after being raked over the Twitter coals. We dumb peoples just did not understand the meaning of her deeply thought and caring tweet.

Nancy Pelosi did an interview with James Coroden of the Late Late Show, in which she showed how ridiculously out of touch she is.

We all have found our ways to keep our spirits up during these trying times. Mine just happens to fill up my freezer. #LateLateShow pic.twitter.com/dqA32d5lU1

First, I have to call bullshit on this.  She may like ice cream, but I’m sure what keeps her spirits up is the wine cellar full of the Sonoma Valley’s finest spirits.

Nevertheless, Pelosi was criticized because she has two Sub-Zero refrigerators, valued at $12,000 each, and a freezer full of ice cream sold for $12 per pint.

Especially since she has been in Congress since 1987 and has been collecting a government salary since I was four years old.

Matt Gabriele is a Professor of Medieval Studies and Chair of the Department of Religion and Culture at Virginia Tech.

He thought it was a good idea to Tweet this in Nancy Pelosi’s defense.

Wow….

Yes, that’s technically correct but also completely disingenuous.

I have two refrigerators.  I know a lot of people in the South and Midwest to do to.  It’s the “beer fridge” or “deer fridge” where the season’s processed venison is stored.

That fridge is usually the old fridge that still works and plugged in, in the garage after the kitchen fridge was replaced.  Or is was a really cheap fridge or chest freezer purchased for garage use.  My garage fridge was a Lowes scratch-and-dent floor model sold for a couple hundred bucks.

That is very, very different than two designer refrigerators installed in custom cabinets in a million-dollar kitchen.

I guess it’s weird for people who eat Oscar Meyer cold cuts to complain that Pelosi likes important Seranno ham, or that people who drive a 10-year-old Honda to complain that Pelosi has a new S-Class Mercedes.  Ham is ham and a car is a car.

I know that Conservatives are often portrayed as anti-intellectual, but if thinking that a tenured professor of a useless subject, who will not lose his job during the Coronacrisis, defending a career corrupt politicians form criticism because of her showing off $22,000 worth of refrigerators full of $120 worth of premium ice cream as though it’s a cute little thing is what is wrong with modern academia, then consider me an anti-intellectual.
