So many bad people doing bad things ! Here's my latest Substack page - beautiful flowers, a great poem, hella cute donkeys and a cat that's just about perfect in every way - nothing bad here ! You should go look!
Kind of a general comment, but I think one effect of an increasingly corrupt federal administration - at the highest levels, like we have now - is to spread corruption and white-collar-type lawlessness generally. It's psychologically corrupting; 'if they can do it, why can't I?'
Don't know if this is a known sociological phenomenon, but it seems like it would be.
Candidate Filings have closed in Minnesota. For the first time in history, the MN DFL has filed candidates in every state house and senate seat. Meanwhile, the MN GOP has left 4 DFL-held Senate seats and 17 House seats uncontested (the most since the 1974 Watergate Wave)
I only pray to Crom that our stupid and inept president does not use a sudden "accidental ordnance malfunction" by Army artillery units to demolish the Kennedy Center. Such a accident would bring significant damage to nearby property and also cost lives since he would arrange for the sudden barrage of heavy artillery to occur at lunch time in DC.
The best we can hope for is a controlled implosion that is designed by competent demolition experts and certified structural engineers. At least the implosion can be done at night and with a minimum of damage to nearby structures.
Good morning. Just having browsed at primaries … so far so good? California’s jungle primaries really are a risk for the disorganized mob of monkeys that is our Democratic Party. We’s a’gonna need to get it together this year.
And … hardly an aside … the ‘neutral’ mainstream media really is redoubling its efforts to decide to elect the right (Republican) people, IMHO.
I guess I’m gonna stay queezy and disgusted for at least another half year or so. Oh yay.

I'm so tired of talking heads encouraging Dems to be more Republican. They aren't going to vote Dem, ever. All you end up doing is suppressing Dem enthusiasm and shifting the Overton Window.

Personally, I think that saying what you actually believe; and working like a dervish to get people off their asses and registered to vote/actually making it to a polling place and voting is a better strategy. But what do I know, I'm just some dorky nurse with opinion.
I'd like regal you with another fucking bear story. I planted flower seeds in all our pots on the deck. We have a three-tiered herb garden that I planted with nine (9) different kinds of herbs. This morning Paul discovered the herb garden had been trashed, and the shoes I left out on the deck to dry were not in their original condition. I don't have video of this criminal because the camera battery needed to be charged and was taken down and brought into the cabin last night. I swear the little fuck knew he'd get away with this shit and knew he'd piss the old lady that yells at him off.
I do have a cute little video of the criminal reconnoitering the deck a few of nights ago.
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (AP) — Rebecca Bennett, a former Navy helicopter pilot, won the Democratic primary in a battleground New Jersey congressional district to take on Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr., who has been absent with an unspecified illness for months.
Kean’s absence — his last vote was in early March — has supercharged interest in the seat, which Democrats view as key to winning control of the narrowly divided U.S. House. Voters in the 7th District have ousted two incumbents during midterm elections over the past decade.

Bad kitty!
At least it's not the water bowl!
Tha M on their foreheads stands for Mayhem.
Time to try another brand.
Quit playing with your food kid.
If I ever get a kitten of my own, its name will be Pan D. Monium!
"I was promised bottomless brunch."
Kitty is perfecting their "hunting for dinner" technique.
This is why I don't do three Martini ( no offense meant) lunches.I damn near got whipped to death by a weed eater after one of those.
I'm ususally not a fan of long song titles, but "Whipped To Death By A Weed Eater After a Three Martini Lunch" is def workable.
Go with it! I ask only credit for the title. No royalties.
It would have to have a neo-country edge
That's exactly what I was hearing too.
...and a buzzy guitar solo.
Slide resonator, for sure.
More of mess. Like the kibble, actually.
Are you the kitten in this scenario? 😅
Misplaced reply deftly caught!
For the first time I may just stick with 'Tini's offering this morning and eschew the tabz.
Ever see the "going goblin" big kitty lolling on his rump eating some kibble with a paw?
These critters are very goblin!
*a pandemic situation/term, if I remember right
I am inspired to play this song.

I hope Talarico doesn't follow that sketchy advice.

Wonketter is on tour! The deadhead in me wants to be too. Sadly I have to adult these days.
adulting sucks
This is why I never engage in such behavior.
I never wanted to grow up as a kid. I guess I had a pretty good understanding what adulting was all about.

did Kean have a primary opponent?
I see that the Shitty Six have made George Wallace's dream come true.
For now. And these gerrymanders still have a potential to backfire on them.
That's entirely up to US.

I'm seeing rumors of a Susan Collins sex scandal. She was boffing a married man with a dying wife. No, it wasn't Newt Gingrich.

I ain't clicking.
Now that I read that I can't get the visual out of my head. That's some nightmare fuel right there.
It's OK though--she was very concerned and had a furrowed brow throughout.
That's concerning
It's impossible to imagine her doing it.
Can you picture that quavering, old-lady voice of hers in the throes of passion?
Ordinarily I wouldn't be defending her but she has Parkinson's. Hence the quavery voice.

Dude. Some of us just ate breakfast.
