Lazy Sunday CXLI: Days Off

Well, yours portly has been skipping a lot of Saturday and Sunday posts lately.  You see, dear readers, my usual schedule is to write a ton of posts for the week on Sundays, then get around to the lengthier, subscriber-only posts sometime during the week.

Lately, the problem has been two-fold:  I have not had much time on Sundays to write (or, alternatively, I have had a ton of other things to do on Sunday), and the weeks have been so slammed, I haven’t had the energy or time to write the weekend posts.  Ay yi yi!

So, what better way to resume Lazy Sunday than with a bunch of recent posts about blowing off my writing responsibilities?

Happy Sunday!

Make-A-Death-Wish

UPDATE:  In case anyone missed it, The Make-A-Wish Foundation REVERSED their decision to require terminally ill children and their families to be fully vaccinated in order to receive their wishes: https://theportlypolitico.com/2021/06/29/decency-prevails-make-a-wish-foundation-rescinds-mask-requirement-for-children/

Read The Foundation’s statement here: https://wish.org/news-releases/reemergence

* * *

The Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants children with terminal medical conditions a “wish,” has announced it will require all wish recipients and their family members to be fully vaccinated against The Virus.

No vaccination, no wish fulfillment.

Naturally, this requirement is absurd, and represents a new low in the race to virtue-signal in The Age of The Virus.  At this risk of sounding macabre and insensitive, The Make-A-Wish Foundation is requiring children who are already dying to take a vaccine against an illness with a 99.5%+ survivability rate.

It’s a purely symbolic action that achieves nothing beyond making it more difficult for dying children to enjoy one last bit of whimsy before they cross over into the arms of Jesus.

Lazy Sunday CXVI: Delays

I had a lot of delayed posts this weekend—including this one!—so I thought I would do the ultimate in self-indulgence and dedicate this Lazy Sunday to delayed posts—not the late posts that ultimately made it up, but the posts announcing the delays.

So, without further—delay (titter, titter)—here we go:

Well, much like my budget after a weekend in Florida, my blog is slowly moving out of the red.  Thanks for your patience!

Happy Monday!
