That is not how it works. Maybe Tantrum Robberies are the wave of the future?

Last week at Columbia University, the school’s Asian American Alliance held a fundraising event called “CultureSHOCK:Reclaim” and invited comedian and SNL alum Nimesh Patel to perform. Halfway through his performance, student organizers walked on stage, took his microphone and told him to wrap it up.

Columbia University Students Kick Saturday Night Live Comedian Off Stage for ‘Offensive’ Jokes

I read the article and my brain immediately brought a scene from To Be or Not To Be by Mel Brooks.  In case you are some sort of heathen and have not watched it, it is about a theater company in Poland just before WWII and they re playing a musical number which makes fun of Hitler.

It is explained later in the film that the production had to be stopped as not to insult the Nazis and that Mr. Bronski (Mel Brooks) should stop performing any skit that would be considered offensive to them. Of course, that did not stop the Germans from invading Poland since that was their intention all along which is the message here: Being offended is just the excuse to obtain power.

The movie is not classified as one of Mel Brook’s best comedies but it is a good one as a cautionary tale. Anne Bancroft just steals the show and makes you fall in love with her a little bit (pun intended). They were an amazing couple and I am sure Mel misses her every day.

That Helus was killed by friendly fire emerged for the first time at a somber news conference Friday, exactly one month since 28-year-old Ian David Long attacked country-music lovers at the Borderline Bar and Grill in the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks, killing 12 and wounding 22 others.

What is the Brady Campaign trying to say? That suddenly the once Only Ones who could have guns are not to do so because they are unreliable? Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not recall an incident where a Civilian shot at an innocent during a mass killing incident. Do we get your “permission” to carry ours? /snark off>

Donald Trump Jr.trolls her in Twitter? Her response?

I HAZ POWER! YOU WILL RESPECT ME OR ELSE!

This ain’t the Caribbean. Dictators wannabes get removed. But I guess she thinks she got elected to reign, not to serve.

Sometimes we prep so hard for the big stuff, we overlook the “simpler” and not-quite bleeding issues we can face. How about a small bleed that simply will not stop? I got caught by surprise and it was not fun feeling this dumb.

My mother is 86 years old and living with us as I may have mentioned before. she is not only diabetic but she is on blood thinners due to a prior TIA. Now, it was a matter of personal pride that our family would heal/clot “as fast as a dog” as the saying goes in Spanish.  But age, diabetes and medication came to play when mom accidentally scratched out a small wart or tag in her leg and it would not stop bleeding. It was not profusely but a constant trickle that even after normal treatment, it would come back. I went from frustrated to slightly worried and racking my brain what to do short of taking a trip to the doctor

After a long while (too long for my taste) from the back of my head came the memory of having some sort of small vial of clotting agent. rummaging around I found it and just applied the dust to the small wound. Voila! instant clotting. I put one of those huge 3 inch wide band aids and problem solved.

This is the clotting agent I used: QR Woundseal.

Sharp eyes will surely noticed the expiration date. I saw that myself after application. But since it worked and mom is puttering around normally and interrupting me every 5 minutes, I reckon it worked and I won’t give it too much of a thought.

Anyway, I went ahead and ordered several two gram bags of Celox to keep in the different First Aid kits (Not the Oh Shit! kits) and add some of the big ass band aids because sometime you don’t need the whole gauze and tape production thing to attend to a small wound and small band aids just suck.
