On the sixth day of Christmas

On the sixth day of Christmas, Uncle Steve sent to me
A sunset photo from his condo in Cabo,
No pubs open after 11pm (while Covid sleeps),
A guarantee of bankruptcy for decades,
A promise of no fun ever again,
Thousands of dead grandparents, and
A never-ending lockdown for me but not he

  1. Our government decisions have consequences…

    Interesting data on the flee from Toronto, Ontario.

    I disagree with the author on going back to normal after another year.
    He is not including additional regulations on top of the stifling one’s currently in place that have been the slow crush on business ownership.

    Our governments lockdowns gave to me…

    1. Garth Turner doesn’t have a lot of credibility at the best of times. A PC MP but much more “P” (liberal) than “C”.

  2. Did you notice how the BBC was not shy about calling out Democrats and only Dems for the hypocrisy? This is the second time in the last couple months that I noticed BBC was practicing journalism instead of advocacy reporting. CBC, CNN, WaPo and Vanity Fair (amongst many others) could learn something from this. I’m not suggesting we all start reading, listening or watching the state-run broadcaster, but if you want to convince your Liberal friends what the truth is about an issue, you might try starting your research at BBC. Robert found this example.

    1. This may start to occur more often now. Why? They’ve accomplished their mission: Remove Trump and demoralize the Deplorables. They can now increase their credibility gradually to fool the electorate only to sh*t on them in the runup to the next election. Lucy-Football-CharlieBrown. It never ends and we always try to kick it.

  3. “Geese a Laying, Calling Birds, French Hens, Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree…”

    Birds and Golden Rings…hmm…
    The ‘golden ring’ for us is that there are eyes everywhere {⊙_⊙} and we catch these hypocritical lying big bird sons-of-guns. At least they are outed on the web but the fact that they are not outed by the MSM (much) makes the story, each time, a double whammy.

    A few days ago I wrote about a politician who caught himself admitting his amazement that due to covid he can now get to his office in 15 minutes instead of the usual 45 minutes, as if the roads are for them only. The hoi polloi have to get out of their way and stay home because, they say that there’s a flu bug going around and we commoners don’t wash our filthy hands.

    Ah-choo, ah-choo!! Sniffle, sniffle!!

    1. Yep, Nancy … the roads are MUCH improved here in the miserable State of CA. I haven’t seen the traffic this light since gasoline was $5.00/gal. Back then, the hoi polli were PRICED off the roads. Far fewer Meheekans per square mile! Now, they’re cowed off the roads by unconstitutional SHUT DOWN and SHUT IN decrees of Gavin Newsom. The most noticeable effect? Despite the posted speed limit of 65mph, the average flow of traffic was always 75-80mph when the roads are clear and traffic light. Now … the average flow of traffic is 85-90mph when traffic is light. I kid you not! It’s fabulous! Imagine that … ‘Free’ways … with free-flowing traffic! It’s wonderful!

        1. Tesla drivers (mostly trophy wives) wouldn’t dare drive fast. It runs the battery down too fast. Their range anxiety would cripple them … fearing they wouldn’t make it home

    1. Metallic Vaccinations…? I like that Buddy..!!

      Yea…let’s do the same for NenXi and that utter (_i_)hole Iveson….and then Pick any 12 Stalinist Mayors across Chinada (most will have identical political views), and do them as well.

  4. How ironic that this leftist nutbar goes to MEXICO!!! … at a time when the Texas border hospitals are being overrun by illegal Mexican COVID patients … desperate for decent medical care. Fleeing their country which is completely overrun by COVID. You know … all those “brown skinned essential workers” whom Gavin promises to inoculate FIRST!

  5. On the seventh day of Christmas Xi sent to my London cousins-a new even more contagious variant.

    As a bonus it comes pre-loaded with somewhat confident certainty that it’s not more fatal.

    “There is no current evidence to suggest the new strain causes a higher mortality rate or that it affects vaccines and treatments although urgent work is underway to confirm this,”

    Do we call this one Covid-20?
