    Mye dino laughed best at Tucker leading a cloned orchestra of screaming "No" for Hillary losing Sirens in Meme #4.
    What are Sirens?
    First mentioned in Homer's "The Odyssey," they are undescribed for having any form mythological entities whose shrill voices drove sailors insane so they would crash ships into rocks.
    If a feeding frenzy followed that is not mentioned.
    Say, we need to clone that lady and place her on emergency vehicles so that~~ahem!
    Well, that's where that word comes from.

      Sorry to have to correct you but...
      From Wikipedia Homer's Sirens were " ..Creatures half bird and half woman who lured sailors by the sweetness of her song..."

        Thank you for that correction.
        Do believe I DID read that during the Sixties either in The Odyssey or somewhere else.
        Note to self: You're getting old. Fact check. Look up stuff your ancient memory can't clearly recall.

          Don't feel bad, dino, I forgot about the half bird part, too, and equally stand corrected. I recalled them as hot chicks with hypnotic singing voices that lured sailors to their eventual demise.

            Me dino thinks what helped to lead my by next month 77 million year old mind astray is you never see them in any movies when shrieking sirens mess with ships.
            That would include the awesome during the late Fifties, "The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad" that's part of my DVD collection. I have "The Odyssey" too.

              Hey... nothing wrong with being an elderly man with a poor memory... unless you're wanting to run the country. (PS: I'm 74... still trying to figure out how to run an air fryer that we've had since Christmas)

                We have an air fryer made by Cosori (the drawer kind). I'll be 72 in a few weeks and have no trouble navigating it. Very easy to use and very easy to clean if you do basic cooking in it - we just season the meat, not load it down with BBQ sauces and such. Love the way it cooks! One of the best cooking inventions since man figured out how to make fire. My wife and I both cook and we both love it. Salmon steaks, chicken of all kinds, pork chops, season some potato slices brushed in olive oil, etc. all come out awesome.

                My girlfriend is just going crazy wanting one of those fryer thingy's, First there is NO more room on the counters. And no more outlets. I refuse to be forced to clean up the greasy mess. She would want to "soak" it in the sink for 3 days. If I want wings there is a Hooters about 1.5 miles from my house. Just more unnecessary garbage to clutter the kitchen.

      Yes, it was a strange news week, hence some strange memes but they all reflect what happened this week, I emphasized that strangeness with the last 3 memes . . . and indeed, had we not been here to witness such strangeness, we would be very grateful too!

      Beware, I expect things to get even more weird and even more strange.
      We have political half wits, criminals and natures disturbing effects upon the weak of mind to deal with from this point, right up to the last moments of the cycle of civilization.

    Nice ones! I don't follow football or Taylor Swift so those pretty much went by me. I was hopping around videos looking for historical stuff on YouTube last night and up popped a 15 minute video supposedly critiquing Tucker's interview with Putin. I figure, "Ok, what's that about?", so I clicked it. It opened with Hitlery being interviewed on MSNBC and she was spewing her usual snobbery nonsense and then moved on to more condescending ad hominem chicanery, but after about 3 minutes (a very long time to endure this crap) there was still not a single iota of facts to refute anything Carlson did. Enduring the orchestra of left wing whiners for about 30 more seconds was all I could take so, with a spinning head and expert clicker control I jumped to another video. Whew, that cognitive dissonance was starting to hurt.

    Thanks, OUC, for another great collection!

      It's tough to listen to their BS when you already know the truth, already listened to the interview in it's entirety.
      In fact, my BS meter never went off the whole time although, I thought some of tuckers questions where structured to cover his journalistic butt and to leave no room for lefty bs in a logical review by others.
