A Real Head Scratcher

From Chron:

A Houston man has been arrested in connection with a suspected arson at a mosque on Christmas Day, but the motive for the crime remains a mystery, with the suspect maintaining he was a regular at the mosque.

Yup, it's a big mystery. I mean, no chance he got tired of waiting for an expected injustice, right? Right? 

Come on America, don't you feel played yet?  Now they're doing arson to get your attention. 

Makes me long for the good old days when an injustice could be had by taking a deconstructed alarm clock to school and acting suspicious all day. 

Merry Christmas

Hope you got all the good presents and your castle was lousy with smiles.

Our Broken Utopia

Victor Davis Hanson seems to have the grievance generation's number:

Deans and mayors promised utopia. When it did not arrive, the only concession they had left was more failed efforts to achieve the unachievable. People turn on their own more violently than they turn on others, as if a liberal, paternal dean should be able to snap his fingers and make liberal students happy. When he so promises, his ensuing failure only makes things worse. 

All the banned micro-aggressions, all the safe spaces, all the trigger warnings, and all the fired deans will not make today’s postmodern students happy, much less appreciative, any more than would mandating authentic ethnic cooks and more year-round hot-tubs. Like addicts, they believe one more cheap fix from a compliant supplier will finally do the trick. Don’t expect the addict to show gratitude to his dealer. 

Leftist revolutionaries cannot be satisfied, because they have long ago been given all they asked for, and are now rebelling for the idea of rebelling against something, even if it is reduced to a micro-aggression or founded on a myth like “Hands up, don’t shoot.” Millions of inner-city youths are as furious as are elite students. They got the liberal city and the liberal university they wanted — only to rage that human nature is not liberal and that contentment cannot be found through mirror-image government, but only within themselves. How can you rebel against that age-old truth?

Read the whole thing.

Yet More Evidence

They just don't make feel-good movies anymore:

Hillary's New Avatar

OK, I changed it a little. But she's responsible for the granny-glasses. (and cloven hooves)
