Obama's outbreak obsession...




Before the Obama news, I thought it worth pointing out a couple of really interesting things: to me anyway :-)

1. Trump as POTUS elect has finally been confirmed by the Electoral College and despite the surge and outcry of undemocratic lefty whingers, wasters, slebs and crybabies to change the minds of the electors, more Democrats than Republicans went rogue [Reuters]. So funny.

2. The Clinton Archipelago. Amazing but on the voting map theme there is plenty of interesting and revealing info; the 3rd map on that last link is crazy: the Democrats have 'total control' in only 5 (FIVE) states. [Update: those previous two links now moved behind Washington Post paywall]



OK, Obama: it seems he is set on doing as much as he can to make a name for himself before leaving office (well he needs to do something, so far the negative side is far away in credit). Yesterday he pardoned 231 criminals"the most individual acts of clemency granted in a single day by any president in this nation’s history."... ..."the President has now commuted the sentences of 1,176 individuals".

Cooool, as Eric Cartman would [not] say, but that is more than the last ELEVEN presidents put together, some would call that obsessive.

Oops...








So funny. The bad news is that the mainstream media just can't stop their bias leftie shit: apparently on some BBC news reports they said "Previous winners include Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, and Vladimir Putin."...of course they said the same when Obama won, right?....right?

Owner operator obituary...






Earlier this week Michael 'Jim' Delligatti died. How many know that name? Well, what he did played a big part in my life. Jim and his family are the owner operators of various Pittsburgh-area McDonald's restaurants. However, this franchisee created the Big Mac, McDonald's 'signature' hamburger. He was 98 and came up with the idea for the Big Mac in 1965; introduced it to his own restaurants in 1967 (against McDonald's wishes) and went national in 1968 (they saw the light).


""It wasn’t like discovering the lightbulb," Delligatti told John F Love, the author of McDonald’s: Behind the Arches (1986). "The bulb was already there. All I did was screw it in the socket.""

Not only am I a McDonald's fan, the Golden Arches being a constant in my much traveled life since the early 70s and in the UK from 1974 (yep, since it started). I have tasted their meals in over 40 countries (intentionally testing, and also referring to the Economist's Big Mac Index [Patty-purchasing parity] since its inception). I am also a McDonald's-slagger slaughterer (I mow down the pretentious twits that claim they don't know what it is or have never had one or won't let their children near the place...details on request :-) ).
