A Travel Tip

If you want to go to the beaches along the French Riviera, you can wear this, but you will be fined for wearing this.

Happy to clear that up… 😈

Because it makes them look like a bunch of thugs. And thus is libel.

Even though it’s exactly what happened.

Some people just don’t “get” that whole Streisand Effect thing….
2 Bryan { 08.26.16 at 8:16 pm }: Something happens and politicians immediately do something to make voters think that things are under control. Shortly afterward it becomes obvious that what the politicians had done is totally worthless for the problem and, in fact, make things worse. Unable to admit they f**ked up, the politicians double down and wait for the courts to reverse what they have done. If the courts reverse the politicians will claim that their incredibly stupid idea would have worked if the courts hadn’t intervened.

Obviously you can’t have pictures out there of just how stupid the idea was….

Of course the threat to sue anyone that posts the pictures of the police hassling women at the beach will now go viral.

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."
