Thursday: The stupidest fucking thing I've seen in a long time.

I've been going with the standard assumption that no country is that stupid, and then the United Kingdom decided no one can tell them they're not idiots, and voted themselves out of the EU.  Let's go to the image shamelessly stolen from twitter:

I mean, if Bill Kristol says you're doing something right, stop and reassess.  Even if he says something like, "Cookies are yummy."  Put the cookie down and back away slowly.

This is a new brand of stupid that I didn't think could actually exist.  Especially given that if they actually go through with this stupid thing (they have to pass legislation to do so, and I would hope the immediate cratering of the currency would make someone be a grown up), that means that Scotland is breaking off.  That's not even really a question at this point.  The interesting thing that I didn't think about is Northern Ireland looking to be part of Ireland.  If that happens, then they become the United Kingdom of England and Wales.  Good job.

Here are the pictures I was going to use before this shit storm happened:

Did you know Izze comes in cans?

I ate one of the bananas I bought to eat at snacktime in the office, but I wasn't super happy about it.

 Then everything went stupid, so on the way home, I got a slice of cake.

It's triple layer princess cake, because red velvet cake is disgusting.

My princess cake was white/orange/pink, and the orange had some sort of orange flavor.  There was coconut on the outside, and it was delicious.

• Congratulations, David Cameron!  You're now the worst politician to ever fuck up a country!
• And I'm just now seeing that the fucker is resigning.  That's a start, fuck face.
• No link yet, because it's just twitter news flashes.
• The pound is only down 8.5% right now, up from the low of nearly 12%.  Why is this important?
• Here's the UK balance of trade.  It's negative, meaning they import more than they export.  With the pound down ~10%, that means it's immediately 10% more expensive to import things.
• It also drives up other currencies, as assuming currency holdings are constant, the pound dropping means you want to buy other currencies that hold their value better.  So dollars, most likely.  But also yen, which means the yen gets stronger.  That makes Japan's export based economy harder to recover.
• So not only do they fuck their own economy, they fuck the world economy.
• And although we still have a bunch of corrupt racists fucking over the legislative branch, we do have the best president ever.
• Best style.
• Animals.
