I bet you thought bunnies were nice, normal, cuddly critters \u2014 except for the vorpal bunny of “Monty Python” fame. Turns out, we were all wrong. According to The Associated Press, there\u2019s a group of rabbits in Colorado<\/a> with grotesque horn-like growths that may seem straight out of a low-budget horror film. Hide your kids, hide your wives and dig out your VHS copy of “Night of the Lepus.” This is a disturbingly strange reality of bunnies gone bad. It\u2019s what AP refers to as a “mostly harmless” Shope papillomavirus, which causes wart-like growths that protrude from their faces like metastasizing horns.<\/p>\n

Cute and cuddlies looking like something out of a Stephen King story is not “mostly harmless” in my world. I love this line from The Washington Post headline about the story: “They\u2019re harmless, experts say.” Experts probably also ran away screaming, so I wouldn\u2019t trust their opinions.<\/p>\n

Understandably, the rabbits have earned the appropriate nicknames: “Frankenstein bunnies,” “demon rabbits” and “zombie rabbits.” Perhaps the virus or bug is also the cause of the myth of bunnies with antlers known as jackalopes. Or maybe they are behind the whole thing. In the meantime, I\u2019ll stick to calling them Bugs Bunnies.<\/p>\n

WILD RABBITS SPOTTED WITH STRANGE ‘HORN-LIKE’ GROWTHS SPROUTING FROM THEIR HEADS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t say that! <\/strong>For the geezers among us (ahem!), we recall when strict parents would threaten to wash our mouths out with soap if we used bad words. According to Politico, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is one step away from instituting that bad word policy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The left-leaning political site wrote a piece about a new memo outlining 45 words and phrases party members shouldn\u2019t say. It ran under the headline: “The \u2018woke\u2019 words Democrats<\/a> should cut from their vocabulary.” This, after popularizing the same stupid terms for years.<\/p>\n

The list reads like a bingo card for people watching a Democratic convention. Here are the highlights: “privilege \u2026 triggering \u2026 microaggression \u2026 body-shaming \u2026 cultural appropriation \u2026 the unhoused \u2026 birthing person \u2026 cisgender \u2026 LGBTQIA+.” There are others nearly as bad, but you get the idea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Matt Bennett, Third Way\u2019s executive vice president of public affairs, said they are trying to “get Democrats to talk like normal people.” Note: He didn\u2019t say act or pretend to be “normal people.” He just wants them to talk that way.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRATS URGED TO DITCH ‘PRIVILEGE,’ ‘LATINX’ AND DOZENS OF OTHER TERMS ‘ALIENATING’ VOTERS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

National political correspondent Adam Wren added, “It\u2019s worth noting that in certain parts of the country, a lot of people, especially now, do talk in this language and use the phrases Third Way recommends against.” Of course, he failed to mention that Politico is one of those places.<\/p>\n

3. Travis and Taylor:<\/strong> I\u2019d be remiss if I skipped out on the biggest global stories of our time. No, not the Middle East, Ukraine or China. I\u2019m talking about the engagement of pop superstar Taylor Swift<\/a> and Super Bowl-winning NFL tight end Travis Kelce. Leave it to The Washington Post to deliver a ridiculous commentary in a click quest. They ran this headline: “Did Travis propose to Taylor on the wrong knee? We went to the experts.” Just what the happy couple “kneeds.”<\/p>\n

Readers know that I\u2019m no Chiefs fan, but come on. The guy got down on one knee and proposed to his love. Shut up about the rest already. The article added, “Some eagle-eyed commenters (and we won\u2019t lie, a few Post journalists) were quick to point out that Kelce dropped to his right knee instead of his left, sparking etiquette critiques.” He\u2019s 35 and has 12 NFL seasons under his belt. He\u2019s probably happy at least one of his knees still bends.<\/p>\n

District of Chaos: <\/strong>Honest residents of the Washington, D.C.<\/a>, area (yeah, that\u2019s asking a lot) admit that the district has been a disaster area for decades. We had the crack epidemic, Mayor Marion Barry, carjackings and more. Now, finally, someone is doing something about it \u2014 that guy on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., also in the same district. And the left can\u2019t stand it. They scream, they stamp their feet \u2026 they call for statehood. Yep, you read that right.<\/p>\n

The folks at The Nation just posted a piece headlined, “D.C. Statehood: Now, More Than Ever.” Author John Nichols criticized Republicans and declared, “Democrats must make it clear that \u2014 as part of the broader voting rights renaissance that must follow the Trump years \u2014 D.C. statehood will top their agenda.” Rewarding D.C. for decades of incompetence is certainly a party platform. Maybe a frat party, because it involves a lot of drinking.<\/p>\n

Slightly overdue: <\/strong>The phrase “better late than never” finally met its perfect test case. A family member just returned a library book<\/a> to the San Antonio Public Library a bit late. The book, “Your Child, His Family, and Friends,” was checked out in July 1943. That\u2019s around the time of the Allied invasion of Sicily \u2014 a mere 82 years ago. And longer, by a couple of years, than the median life expectancy. Put another way, almost everyone who was alive at that time isn\u2019t now.<\/p>\n

The borrowed handbook was written by marriage and family counselor Frances Bruce Strain. A family member included a note, according to AP: “The book must have been borrowed by my grandmother, Maria del Socorro Aldrete Flores (Cortez). In that year, she transferred to Mexico City to work at the U.S. Embassy. She must have taken the book with her, and some 82 years later, it ended up in my possession.” That library fine could probably pay off the national debt.<\/p>\n

Even creepier: <\/strong>Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta managed an item more disturbing than horned bunnies. Acosta, in a desperate quest for attention, interviewed a computer-programmed avatar of deceased teenager Joaquin Oliver. It was all part of an effort to push gun control on an easily duped public. Given the rise of AI in recent months, we can expect a steady diet of computer programs claiming to represent actual people. Basically, the worst of the holodeck experience in “Star Trek” coupled with lefty scolds like Acosta. Max Headroom, here we come.<\/p>\n

Hot dog! <\/strong>Usually, when you hear that expression, it\u2019s one of excitement. Or perhaps somebody spotted Joey “Jaws” Chestnut, who won his 17th Nathan\u2019s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest by downing 70.5 hot dogs and buns. Not this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To the chagrin of all hot-dog-eating Americans, the AP reported that, “A truckload of hot dogs <\/a>spilled across a Pennsylvania interstate” to begin the month. Authorities had to turn to a front-end loader to scoop up the slippery dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I think “front-end loader” should be Chestnut\u2019s new nickname. They sure needed his skills \u2014 along with a mustard truck.<\/p>\n
