Two hungry bear cubs found a head of cheese the size of a good piglet lying in the grass.
“We must divide it equally, so as not to deprive anyone,” said the first.
“I am the eldest, I am entitled to more!” said the second and tried to take the cheese from his brother.
“I’m the youngest, I get more due!” the first one shouted.
They began to argue, and then even fight.
Suddenly, a fox emerged onto the clearing. With a sweet, honeyed voice, she offered:
“Please don’t fight. Such nice little bears, such intelligent and fair-minded two brothers! Allow me to assist you in dividing this cheese equitably, to the satisfaction of all. Our aim is to foster a society where everyone’s rights are upheld through the fair and just redistribution of resources— or in this case, cheese.”
The brothers scratched their heads, exchanged glances, and handed the cheese to the fox. The fox proceeded to split the cheese into two halves, with the left side noticeably larger than the right.
“That’s not equitable!” the cubs cried out. “Make it equal for both!”
“Ah, you are right,” responded the fox, grinning. “Let’s strive for equality in outcomes.”
The fox took a bite out of the larger half of the cheese.
Now the other half was larger! The cubs shouted:
“It is unfair, it’s not equal!”
“And again, you speak truth,” the fox sighed. “We’ll need to take from this side as well. The lengths we go to for social justice!”
Even as the fox’s mouth overflowed with cheese, the cubs persisted:
“It’s still not fair! One part remains larger!”
The fox kept dividing cheese until only two small slices remained.
“You see,” she said. “Equity means an equal outcome. It’s not much, but it is equal!”
The brothers stretched out their paws for the little slivers of cheese. The fox acted as she was just about to give it to them, but then she said:
“Wait a minute, kids! Have I not worked selflessly to ensure fairness and social justice? Surely I deserve some compensation? A small token, say, these two pieces?”
With that, she popped the remainder of the cheese into her mouth and vanished into the bushes, wagging her tail.
The brothers sat in silence, their stomachs still rumbling with hunger.The moral: When you hear them say, “Social justice is about creating a fair and equitable society where everyone’s rights are recognized and protected, and decisions are made fairly and honestly,” HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR CHEESE AND RUN!

at least no one tried to harpoon him.
I checked my trays, and the General Tso’s sauce is still leathery. I may dump it into Fred and let it run all night there to see if I can dry it out with a higher temp.
The ice cream is all done.
I did find it amusing that Christie was getting booed down.
Not controlling the audience ruins it every time.
They must have threatened them during the breaks, because it got somewhat better as the night wore on.
Bummer.
Rumble crashed during the closing statements.
Burgum did seem to be a sane voice on the stage. He’s pretty much an unknown. It’ll be interesting to see the poll numbers in a few days.
Pence is just a Jackass.
Niki Haley came off as a bitchy old Crone, can you say Hillary? 🙁
I’d say Vivek and Burgum made the most sense and the Jersey Jelly Roll and that pathetic old bastard from Arkansas made damn sure that they couldn’t be the Republican nominee. As if they had a snow balls chance anyway.
I think they see Vivek as the major threat on the stage. He’s handling the slings and arrows well.
Pence’s strategy is easy to see: eat Vivek for lunch. Or try. I think Vivek is biting back rather well.
Christie’s strategy: hate Trump
Would someone please help Bret Baer’ pull his lips from Mike Pence’s cheeks?
Shannon, I don’t know about all the rest of the games but I finally scrolled thru enough to get to the Needville team’s next game is Saturday and will be on ABC 13 at (I believe) 2:30
Sorry, Mike Pence. I’m more worried about the Commies on our own soil.
Nice shot at JellyRoll, Vivek.
Moderator just said “the elephant NOT in the room”.
Well, that was unfortunate wording.
Any flies land on Judas Pence yet?
That figures.
50 minutes in, Rumble crashes.
Citizen Free Press reports that the Tucker interview “is a doozy”. I’m with Shannon – I can catch it on replay.
I can watch Trump any time.
He was right – he’s a known quantity.
Some of these guys are our bench. I want to watch them.
The Hindu came out and called climate change a hoax. It’s devolving into a mud wrestling contest.
Well I’ll be darned.
Rumble didn’t make me subscribe.
Pence has the claws out for Ramaswamy.
Nikky H just made a very good point about the R’s putting us into debt.
Just finished my first weigh-in on my trays. Boy, I can smell the General Tso’s bricks, but they are still leathery which means they probably still have moisture to carry the odor. So, back in they go! The ice cream bites feel dry, and if the trays pass inspection before I go to bed tonight, I think I’ll pack a… Read more »

You forgot the penne, the ziti, the lasagna, the bagels & cream cheese, the cannolis, calzones and the Strombolis.
I think this is how the rinofest will shake out tonight.
neal Cavuto will lead off with his new song
I got the HCQ blues when the she? thing ivermectined my ding-a-ling.
and then it will descend into chaos from there.
oops.

No matter the question tonight the Jersey Jelly Roll’s answer will always be can you pass the potatos, can you pass the butter, can you pass the rolls.

What do you think this is, 1776 ? Hah !
Obviously, you didn’t get the memo. Freedom and liberty are not free. It’s 25% down and then you gotta pay and then you gotta pay the vigorish.
I still think it should be available to everyone.
Screw them all. I am not subscribing to any of them.
The internet will be inundated with debate clips, segments, fake editing, slanderous quotes and we’ll be sick of it all by Labor Day.
It’s a split decision here, as usual.
I’m not interested in watching the debates. They are not actual debates but modern day entertainment produced by television jerks. It’s like professional wrestling without the hysterics and histrionics. Her Highness likes it though.
I’ll watch some of the Tucker/Trump circus and then I’ll probably do something else…
I guess that even on Rumble you have to be a subscriber to get the Also-Ran Debate?
I’m a fan of this guy and have always been open about my admiration of the Sikhs. Ranjit Singh is a contributor at Bearing Arms website and the co-author of this… Each One, Teach One: Preserving and protecting the Second Amendment in the 21st century and beyond Ranjit Singh’s column this week for Bearing Arms: Before I started delving into… Read more »
The last two games of the LLWS used to be carried on a major network every year. For free, for all to enjoy.
Probably not anymore.

Let’s drop all the pretensions and go ahead and sign these kids up to the Astros now. There is no point in letting these northeastern sleaze balls poison these boys.
I figure the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox are already recruiting in the Dominican and Puerto Rican kindergartens.
They must have some real pitching. The Seattle team was said to be the most prolific hitters in the league.
Next game is for the United States Championship.
KHOU reporting that Needville Little Leaguers have beaten Seattle in extra innings, 1-0.
I have posted this video before, but in light of all the political insanity going on these days, it is a nice diversion. Super slow motion of transparent suppressors.

I stay logged into this site, but inevitably get knocked off for one reason or another.
Like Texpat, it can get a little tricky sometimes. It does seem that it has been more difficult lately to log back in.

Yeah, for awhile now my my morning splash of cold water on the face has been lukewarm at best. I don’t know what the young guys needing a cold shower do anymore.
Breaking News: A small jet crashed in Russia killing all on board… one of those people was the head of the Wagner group, Yevgeny Prigozhin… who evidently has had some verbal fisticuffs with the Russian BMOC very recently. Reportedly, it was SHOT DOWN by Russian Air Defense Systems…

Allegheny County Sheriff’s deputies went to a residence to serve an eviction notice when the suspect began shooting, sheriff’s office spokesman Mike Manko said.

Tedtam Unlike most folks around here, I have to log-in every single day and sometimes more than once or make several tries before the log-in holds.

Thanks, Squawk.
Just on a whim, I used my fancy-pants, high-dollar, instant-read cooking thermometer to check the temp of my cold tap water…..first letting it run for a long time.
90°F
Nope, not yet.
