Random thoughts Friday, Volume LIX

  • The Russian invasion of Ukraine was so poorly executed you’d’ve thought a Trump led it.
  • The way he told students to take off their masks, you just know Ron DeSantis was the guy in the 1980s saying, “Nah, I don’t have to wear a condom.  AIDS is a myth and only infects the gays.”
  • Volodymr Zelensky will be revered in Ukraine the way George Washington is here.  
  • If Russia should succeed in encircling Kyiv, the US and our allies must proceed with an air convoy of planes providing medical supplies and food to the people in the city, a la the Berlin Airlift.  Nothing offensive and nothing military–those can be smuggled in overland–but the show of air strength will not fall flat on the Russian military.
  • Curious how you can read about Russian troop movements in the media in near-real-time.  Imagine Washington or Meade or MacArthur finding out about enemy artillery movements by reading their iPads.  
  • Right wingers are supporting Putin, who allows abortion on demand, personifies intrusive government, installs oppressive policies, and prevents people from owning guns.  Y’know, good ol’ conservative values.  
  • See how effectively the Ukrainians have held off the Russians?  It’s because Ukraine has an organized militia of veterans from the Ukraine military (for which males must serve a year of compulsory service) who are trained in weaponry and tactics.  They’re not a bunch of yahoos with pickup trucks who like guns that go boom.  
  • Counting down until Fox speculates the record job growth under Biden is bad:  “Are we creating TOO many jobs?  Will the economy collapse because too many people are working?  Some people say….”
  • Remember Boebert heckling Biden during the State of the Union?  Know that that was not spontaneous:  Boebert had a copy of the speech beforehand, so she knew Biden would mention flag-draped coffins, giving her the opportunity to yell.  It was scripted, just like all her other stunts.
  • The people who claim to be America First are Trumpians First, Republican Second, and Americans about fifth or sixth on the list.
  • I don’t know what the GOP has in store for Ketanji Brown Jackson nomination hearings, but I can guarantee you she won’t end up a blubbering idiot proclaiming her love of beer.
  • If conservatives want to experience REAL hyperinflation–which is what they claim the US is in at the moment–they should shop in Russia where prices doubled literally overnight.
  • “Hi!  Can you tell me how long you’ve been believing Republican propaganda? Do you believe:  (A) Bill Clinton had Arkansas state police officers killed?  (B) Iraq *did* have weapons of mass destruction?  (C) Barack Obama was born in Kenya?  (D) Hillary Clinton runs a child trafficking ring out of a pizza shop?  and/or (E) Donald Trump won the 2020 election?”
  • I often underestimate my appetite for corn.  It is a delicious and versatile vegetable.  (And yes, I know it’s technically a grain.)
  • Want to show me the GOP is no place for racists and bigots, Mitch McConnell?  Bar the RNC from giving any fundraising assistance to Marge Greene and the other Republicans who spoke at Nick Fuente’s hate fest.  Otherwise:  Yeah, you are the Party of racists and bigots because you help them get elected.
  • The way you buy music today discourages the enjoyment of listening to an entire LP.  Removing the cellophane, removing the sleeve from the cover, and seeing the vinyl for the first time.  Oh, and the hidden favorites on the B-side of so many albums.
  • I’m a Democrat, therefore even bumper sticker slogans must make sense to me.  That’s why, when I saw a t-shirt on a video of a 2020 Trump rally that said “Keep Trump. Impeach Congress,” my head hurt:  members of Congress cannot get impeached.  
  • Favorite corn dishes (in order):  Corn on the cob is the King.  Popped is the Queen.  And corn pudding, corn salsa and corn bread are in the royal court.  Corn is a must in chowders.  Candy corn is a crime against humanity.
  • I’ll bet a lot of Russian soldiers were happy for all that cardio training.
