You cashing out now?

Give it a few weeks it will be back.

[bluetick]

The nitwits have ruled the day in England. Which re-energizes the nitwits here.

[sardis]

Why does tick hate democracy?

[hedge]

Because it breeds people like you?

[Professor Tiger]

The dynamics in the Brexit vote are remarkably similar to the dynamics here.

The less educated peasants in the hinterlands resent their urban betters for rigging the economic system against their interests, and dislike millions of immigrants arriving at their doorstep.

Sounds familiar.

[Professor Tiger]

Because it breeds people like you?

I wish your parents had not bred.

[Toemeesleather]

7.5 years of emulating the European model, more bureaucracy/gov't edicts and open borders, have yielded no quarter, not one, of GDP growth over 3% for the first time ever. Who's the nitwit?

[hedge]

You...

Priceless: French tweets on the Brexit vote:

"Let's kick out the England team [from the Euro Cup tournament]: they don't have visas."

"The English vote like they cook... it's diabolical..."

"A photo captioned 'Brexit in one picture' showed a table laden with an abundance of European noshes including a French pastry, German sausage and Italian pasta, with a plate of baked beans off in a corner."

"To celebrate this historic British referendum day, I've enjoyed the traditional feast of Les Rosbifs: curry."

Speaking of Monty Python, this seems an appropriate commentary in Brexit...

That's funny right there...

You found hedge's muse. Well done.

So, is the UK at the back of the queue?

[Professor Tiger]

The pro-Brexit Brits say that Obama really pissed them off with that and other patronizing statements.

If the EU falls apart, who will keep bailing Greece out?

I saw another story where Irish expats are offering sham marriages to Brits who desperately want to stay in the EU. I've got Irish citizenship and passport. I could fly to England and turn it into my own little personal Las Vegas. But with terrible, terrible food.

And with Scotland leaving Britain and joining the EU, you and AA would be fellow countrymen.

[Professor Tiger]

Hardly. The Scots are the morose and depressing cousins of the Irish. AA can represent those Scots who marry their sisters, in true Roll Tide Roll fashion.

On a different note, a question for JD: why no riots in Baltimore over the acquittal of the cop who was driving the van where Freddie Gray got into a police van healthy, and got out with a broken neck and died shortly thereafter? You'd think that BLM would be amassing and lighting the molotov cocktails to burn Baltimore down. Could it be that this sudden discovery of civic restraint is because the accused cop and the prosecutor are both black? It just doesn't fit the BLM paradigm?

Personally, as a law enforcement kind of guy, I'm looking for someone's ass to kick in that case. When you put somebody in cuffs, you just became their bodyguard. Something fatal happened to Freddie Gray in that van that broke his neck while surrounded by law enforcement officers. Somebody needs to go to jail for that.

According to news reports, Northern Ireland is so interested in staying with the EU that they are actually considering voting to rejoin the godless papists in the south. My Orangeman grandfather and HUGE fan of Ian Paisley (Peace be upon him) must be rolling in his grave.

[sardis]

Never!

The Economist picked up on this.
