- “Owning the libs” is not a winning campaign theme, and at this point, it’s all the GOP has. Well, that and disinformation.
- The dilemma for Democrats: our patriotism prompts us to want a strong, sane opposition Party for the sake of the nation, but we know the current GOP is dysfunctional and treasonous.
- RTF LVI and Super Bowl LVI in the same weekend. Coincidence? I think so.
- The ones saying that they’re sick of Covid and they’re going to go about their “normal” lives are the soldiers in the war movie who are pinned in a foxhole by massive machine gun fire, but they’re like, “I can’t take it anymore!” and jump out from cover and immediately get killed in a tenth of a second.
- Sundays with the Washington Post Magazine: “Find 12 things different between these two photos? Cool! One… Two… Three… (this is easy)… Four… … … Five… [three hours later]… Is that an added stripe or a pen streak? DAMN. Okay, is that a different color or just a printing error? Where are those last two??? If I draw a hat on this kid, does it count?”
- The Canadian truckers and the people who support them confuse anarchy with freedom. They aren’t protesting for their rights; their goal is the defeat of government, just like the J6 domestic terrorists.
- Had Mexican truck drivers taken the same action as their Canadian counterparts, the GOP would be pushing for an invasion of Mexico for their attack on the US economy. I wonder what’s different that prompts conservatives to side with Canadians from the Great White North… oh, right.
- Can we stop saying, “At the end of the day….” Whatever you’re talking about won’t be resolved by the end of the day. And at the end of the day, I just want to sleep.
- The British political class is coming down hard on Boris Johnson for hosting parties at 10 Downing St. during quarantine. Meanwhile, here in the Colonies, Republicans won’t condemn Trump for hosting an insurrection.
- Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law is prototypical GOP policy: Don’t address it and it will go away. (I didn’t say it worked; I just said it’s their policy.)
- First question to ask Trump in any debate: “You campaigned in 2016 that Hillary Clinton was unfit for office for reportedly having classified documents in her possession. You took classified documents with you to Mar-a-Lago illegally and hid them from proper authorities. Are you also unfit for office, as you claimed Secretary Clinton was?”
- I’d like to see a search warrant executed on Mar-a-Lago for any government documents or property Trump absconded with. We cannot trust anyone in the Trump camp who may claim they turned everything over.
- Seriously, though: what documents were so incriminating Trump decided he needed to flush them down a White House toilet?
- How amazing are Olympic athletes? In the Super G downhill women’s final, after a one and a quarter mile run, the top 13 skiers all finished within one second of one another.
- I’m seriously stoked about the Webb Telescope’s (apparently) successful deployment. The discoveries that will be made in the next 5-10 years will likely reshape our understanding of exoplanets, galaxies and everything else in space.
- Bread is rarely a go-to food for me; I don’t crave bread. Naked, with butter or dipped in olive oil and herbs, a good loaf of bread is damn tasty. A good loaf of sour dough or French bread is fantastic. For peanut butter and jelly, only a white or wheat–and don’t suggest one of those 92-grain loaves. Those are good for lunchmeat sandwiches. The best options for french toast: challah or brioche.
- Destiny has a sense of humor, with this foreshadowing what could ultimately bring down Trump: a story about a toilet.
