- Just a reminder that in the myriad lawsuits Trump’s cabal filed to overturn the 2020 election–more than 60 total–he only won one: in Pennsylvania, to allow observers to get closer access to vote counters during a recount (but not over their shoulders as Trump’s lawyers wanted). Even the judiciary laughed at Trump.
- I am the Destroyer of Fruit Flies and the Slayer of Gnats. If they come into my realm, they shall perish… but unfortunately not before they have 6,000 offspring each.
- Funny how Sean Hannity was texting Trump and Meadows to stop the attack on Congress by Trump supporters, but he never texted or called Pelosi, whom he now blames for “allowing” the Trump-supporting mob attacking the Capitol. It’s like he knew who was responsible for the attack at the time, but something pushed him to blame a Democrat.
- Sidney Poitier was a deserved Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, not just for his acting talents, but for his charity and human rights work. He was the exact opposite of the people awarded by Trump, who gave the PMF to 24 people, 14 of whom were sports figures. Only three of the people Trump recognized were black; only three were women (including the wife of Sheldon Adelson). Only one was involved in the arts in any way: Elvis Presley. None were scientists or medical professionals. And he forever tarnished the award by giving it to Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan.
- Remember when Hannity called for Chris Cuomo’s firing for advising his brother on sexual harassment claims? Yet Hannity, who reportedly has a history of dating Fox hostesses who are subordinate to him, advised a politician during an attempt to undermine the Constitution, and nothing will be done to the third-most-important host on the network. Hypocrisy, anyone?
- Once tops at Fox, Hannity is now third behind Tucker Carlson and Greg Gutfeld. Previously, ambitious Republicans had to prostrate themselves before O’Reilly, and then Hannity. But now they must genuflect to Donald Trump and then head to New York City to kiss Carlson’s Tucker. Just ask Ted Cruz.
- It’s time for Biden to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the January 6th domestic terrorist attack. The House Select Committee can provide the front-facing public hearings to educate the public about the risk to the Republic and the crimes that were committed; the Special Counsel can undertake deep investigations and prosecutions into those crimes. I say this not because I believe Garland isn’t going to pursue anything, but as a safeguard for if/when the GOP takes back the House.
- We’ve been in the pandemic so long, RoomRater is no longer “a thing.”
- GOP efforts to revoke the rights of social media companies because they don’t kowtow to their demands to allow them to post anything without repercussions will hinge on the argument that company’s don’t have Constitutional rights to self-expression–and it could lead to the judicial defeat of Citizens United, which hinges on the claim that corporations are entitled entities.
- The Supreme Court may rule that the government can’t make you get vaccinated but it can make you stay pregnant.
- Before Betty White hosted Saturday Night Live in 2010 to become, at age 88, the oldest person ever to host the series, that record was held by 1988 host 80-year-old Miskel Spillman, the winner of the “Anybody Can Host” contest, the only contest ever held on the show.
- We have entered the Cut-Cord era of our lives. YouTubeTV, do not fail us.
- Am I the only one who thinks the DC pipe bomber from January 6th is a woman, probably in her mid- to late 20s? The gait of the bomber and how she stands on her tip-toes leads me to believe she’s a woman.
- Blessed is the neighbor with the snowblower, for he shall be as popular as the One with The Pickup Truck.
- There are a lot of things that you should “Buy Local”–like fruits and vegetables and furniture and beer and, oh, pretty much everything, but there’s nothing more important to buy than local honey. Not only is it better for you, you’re helping to support the exceptionally important local bee population. (And traditional medicines say local honey helps quiet hayfever.) Order some today to help the apiaries get ready for Spring.
- My favorite anthropomorphic product characters: Tony the Tiger, the smart ass Charlie Tuna, McGruff the Crime Dog. Joe Camel needed to die an early death, and Chester Cheetah is a punk. But the overall winner is Mr. Peanut, the ultimate tasty–and exceptionally classy–legume. Not everyone could pull off a monocle and a top hat.
- The Cheneys are siding with Democrats. Who put the mushrooms in my tea? And why is the salt shaker reciting Gilgamesh to me in Mandarin?
