Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends

What’s keto? Sounds like it might be:

• A cute fuzzy fruit from New Zealand.
• The character Bruce Lee played on The Green Hornet teevee show. (Oh wait, that was Kato…nevermind)
• The newest yoga craze.
• A small lizard found only in the highlands of Peru.

But, rilly now, the fuck is this shit? From Web MD:

“Ketogenic” is a term for a low-carb diet (like the Atkins diet). The idea is for you to get more calories from protein and fat and less from carbohydrates. (source)

Also from Web MD:

Studies show that those who follow the low-carb keto diet are more likely to lose weight within the first 3 to 6 months than they would if they followed a more balanced diet. But because the keto diet calls for drastic changes in your daily diet, it’s best to ask your doctor or a nutritionist if it’s right for you before you get started. (source)

Ahhh, no thanks. I’ll stick to eating a balanced, healthy diet, portion control and exercise.

And what the fuck are coffee enemas all about?

A coffee enema is a type of colon cleanse used in alternative medicine. During the procedure, a mixture of brewed, caffeinated coffee and water is inserted into the colon through the rectum.
~~~
There’s no scientific evidence that proves or disproves that coffee enemas are helpful to treat any medical condition. Evidence for or against the use of coffee enemas is mostly anecdotal. In mainstream medicine, colon cleansing is considered unnecessary because your body’s digestive system is capable of getting rid of waste, toxins, and bacteria on its own. (source)

I believe I’ll skip this. Also, I only mention it but that rich, hot, dark, life giving beverage goes in your main face hole NOT your butt.

The town of Grindavik in Iceland just canNOT catch a break.

The Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month on Sunday morning, hours after the authorities had instructed residents to leave the fishing town in the south-west of the island after a “swarm” of mini earthquakes suggested an eruption was imminent. (source)

Texas Governor Greg Abattoir lives up to his moniker yet again.

A woman and two children drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande, near the Eagle Pass park that Texas troopers have taken control over, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed on Saturday.

State officers and National Guard members have been denying federal Border Patrol agents entry to the 47-acre Shelby Park since early this week. When Border Patrol agents received a call Friday evening from the Mexican government about the migrants in distress, Texas officials barred the federal agents from entering the area and providing aid, according to a DHS spokesperson.

Abbott PREVENTED the rescue of a mother and two children from drowning in the Rio Grande. He and his woman hating goon squad can shut all the fucking way up about being “pro-life” and “christian.” These people are light years beyond despicable. Also, Abbott and his faithful troopers should be arrested and jailed for manslaughter.

Headline at the BBC this morning: God gave us Trump. The post is about how Cheeto is relying on the evangelical vote in the Iowa caucuses.

There’s a campaign video playing there which the reporter describes as:

…bombastic, even by Mr Trump’s standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

“God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker,’” a voiceover intones over a minimalist piano track. “So God gave us Trump.” (source)

Fer fuck’s sake, this is laughably over the top insanity and also horrifying. That anyone on this planet would fall for such a cheesy, comic book villain con is almost unbelievable. Note, I said ALMOST. The people who flock to the big box fleece-the-rubes emporiums are undoubtedly jizzing their undies in anticipation of voting for their golden idol.
