The Passion of Scott Adams

Original Article

Posted By: WhamDBambam, 3/6/2023 9:41:20 AM

Once whetted, the appetite of the woke beast is insatiable. But one senses it is nearly sated in its hate feast against Scott Adams. How do you imagine the woke beast? It is rough, surely, and slouches towards some unprofitable venue, so not Bethlehem. I think of it as something ravenous but episodic in its appetites, a sort of Polyphemus for hire. It gorges in a destructive frenzy and then retreats to some dank corner to belch and sleep and slobber. The world, appalled by the spectacle of its rampage, instantly begins making excuses for its viciousness—were not its victims somehow to blame?

Comments:

Our local rag today announced it was replacing "Dilbert" with "Curtis." A lockstep, cowardly and racist move.

When I was working in 'Cubical City' there were more Scott Adams strips tacked to our walls than family pictures.

I'm of Hispanic extraction and I avoid heavy concentrations of Latins, blacks, white motorcycle gangs, etc. I don't care for hoodlums of any color.

In most office environments, "Dilbert" was more of a staple than actual staples.

I noticed that our local fish wrap quickly replaced Dilbert. It looks like they made the cartoon above it bigger to fill both spots. Used to be I got the two local metro papers, seven days a week, plus my small town paper five days a week. Even read the Wall St. Journal as well. The local paper is down to two days a week. Ended the WSJ a long time ago. The two local metro papers are now down to one. And now they print the paper in a city 200 miles away. Instead of getting it 7 days a week, I just get it on Sunday. And often I wonder why. Even the grocery coupons aren't as good as they used to be. Used to be it would take an hour or more to read the Sunday paper. Now, the Sunday paper is basically a late edition of the Saturday paper, because if it happens after about 10 am Saturday, it's too late for the press to print it 200 miles away and truck it to the metro area for distribution. Takes about 30 minutes TOPS to go through all the paper and I think the one section I read the most is the Obituaries. The "opinion section," which used to be a section of its own as opposed to two or three pages at the end of the front section has turned into a "Hate Trump - Hate Republicans - We need Gun Control because those kids were shot in Uvalde" section that takes about 6 seconds to read and discard.

I gave up on the local papers years ago. They were nothing but leftist rags that raised my blood pressure. I tried to subscribe to the local paper's "Sunday only" option, then got the paper every day but Wednesday. The dailys just went straight into the garbage can. I let the subscription lapse, only to have it continue for another month, then the local paper tried to bill me for issues I didn't ask for and just threw away. When I refused to pay that bill, they sent me a letter acknowledging that they sent it "as a courtesy" and then told me what when I wanted to resubscribe I would have to pay that balance. They're still waiting....

#5 and 7: Adams worked at Pacific Bell according to Wikipedia. I worked for Ma Bell too, and we always felt he was 'one of us', as the cartoons were so similar to our working environment.

My newspaper has more of a conservative bent, but they cancelled Dilbert. I only read a few comic strips and hadn’t followed Dilbert, but I am ordering some of his books. He sounds like a jewel who tells the truth.

The Dilbert web site is still up and you can still catch the latest comic there, as well as all the old ones searchable by date or keyword. Funny how nobody has yet said he was wrong.

Emhoff this past week told MSNBC that there’s too much “toxicity” in masculinity these days, an issue he’s spent “a lot” of time thinking about. “There’s too much of toxicity — masculine toxicity out there, and we’ve kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine,” the 58-year-old said.

Documents recently obtained by Human Events show that Alexander Vindman has been pitching the government of Ukraine to obtain lucrative defense contracts. In August 2022, Vindman, operating as CEO of Trident Support, pitched a deck on a Ukraine Weapons Systems Sustainment Center to address problems with Ukraine's weapons management, namely readiness, repair, and maintenance. Vindman proposed that for $12 million in initial funding, his company Trident Support would bring support closer to the front lines by providing a logistical midpoint from which equipment could be distributed.

More than three-quarters of U.S. voters—including a majority of Democrats—want secret footage withheld by the government related to the events of January 6 released to the public. ccording to the results of a Rasmussen poll released Thursday morning, 80 percent of likely voters believe it’s “very” or “somewhat” important for unseen portions of the massive trove to be viewed by the American people. That figure cuts across party lines: 78 percent of Democrats, 86 percent of Republicans, and 75 percent of independent voters concur with House Republicans’ arguments that the recordings should be made public.

Who would have thought the mediocre mayor of Indiana’s fourth-largest city would not be a good choice to run the Department of Transportation? Pete Buttigieg launched a failed campaign for president of the United States at the age of 37 after serving two terms as mayor of South Bend, the fourth-largest city in Indiana. He was adored by journalists and other out-of-touch white Democrats due to his youthful nerdy gayness and Obama-esque ability to regurgitate platitudes.

In the digital public square of social media, I have seen a noticeable uptick in biting memes and political cartoons calling out the U.S. government for its constant lies. In one example, a cyber-billboard screams, "I don't know if I'm being distracted by vaccine deaths so I don't notice inflation, or if inflation is the distraction to Ukraine money laundering, or if Ukraine is a distraction for rampant pedophilia, or if pedos are distracting me from election fraud."

On Monday, I dropped a report that revealed the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s embarrassing scandal surrounding its former star counterintelligence agent Charles McGonigal, who’s been indicted on corruption-related federal charges, is much worse than the Department of Justice and the media have admitted. While McGonigal was still serving as a senior FBI official in 2017 he became a partner of Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama and his ruling Socialist Party. In that capacity, McGonigal is believed to have extorted wealthy Albanians in a sort of protection racket where the bureau bigwig promised to protect the oligarchs from U.S. sanctions in exchange for big bribes.

The narrative: The virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic was naturally occurring and policymakers and the medical establishment acted only out of concern for our health.

Almost every day the Story of COVID unravels, and we learn how much of it was a yarn used to tie us up in knots.

Women will now be forced to compete against gender dysphoria-suffering men after a Minnesota judge ruled against USA Powerlifting (USAPL) in favor of pseudoscience and progressive legislation. Since 2019, JayCee Cooper, a male weightlifter who wants to compete as a woman, has undertaken a legal challenge against USAPL that began as a complaint to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. Late February, that challenge that had grown into a 2021 lawsuit turned into a loss for women competitors as District Court Judge Patrick Diamond ruled in favor of Cooper. “By denying Cooper the right to participate in the female category, the category consistent with her self-identification,

Tucker Carlson released never-before-seen footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 riots at Capitol Hill that appear to dispel several narratives pushed by the Democrat-controlled House Select Committee and the legacy media. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted "Tucker Carlson Tonight" an exclusive first look to over 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol Building that were hidden from the public for over two years. On Monday, Carlson offered the first glimpses of footage involving key figures from that day. Carlson concluded the footage proves that lawmakers and the media were "lying" about the events that took place on Jan. 6.

The four Americans were located at what appears to be a medical clinic in Matamoros, a US official familiar with the ongoing investigation told CNN. One of the two survivors is severely injured, the official said.

WASHINGTON - New intelligence reviewed by U.S. officials suggests that a pro-Ukrainian group carried out the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines last year, the New York Times reported on Tuesday. There was no evidence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy or his top lieutenants were involved in the operation, or that the perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukrainian government officials, the newspaper reported, citing U.S. officials. Reuters could not independently verify the report, and U.S. officials could not be immediately reached for comment. Representatives for Kyiv and Moscow also could not be immediately reached.

Mayor Eric Adams wants the Big Apple’s retailers to make customers remove their masks in a bid to stem the ongoing shoplifting epidemic — but some merchants are wary of how they’re going to enforce that. “We are putting out a clear call to all of our shops: Do not allow people to enter the store without taking off their face mask,” Adams said Monday on 1010 WINS radio. “And then once they’re inside, they can continue to wear it if they so desire to do so. Adams said the move would help cops “use the technology we have available to identify those shoplifters and those who are committing serious crimes.”
