So, funny thing: I was supposed to post the usual Saturday stories today, and, well, I FORGOT to read and sked them. At least Robyn put something up for you to chat with each other all day!
You will have two stories tomorrow, and your usually scheduled movie tonight, which starts off with a hilarious riff about those responsible for a series of mishaps being sacked.
I will now go fire myself and then get the rest of the weekend content together, and when Rebecca gets back in a week, you wonderful filthy fuckaducks don't need to tell her anything was out of the ordinary today, right?
A week? That’s like 17 years in a normal timeline. And this is not a crew noted for their attention span (although oddly, we can hold a collective grudge and remember one another’s cats to an almost frightening degree). I think you have nothing to worry about.
That having been said, we would not take it amiss if you were to write some generic banhammer passes. Say, three apiece?
Wow, Netflix just sent me an email saying new episodes of "Kenichi, The Mightiest Disciple" are coming. I don't know if they mean actual new episodes, or they're just going to start carrying the second season, though. It's damn near a 20 year old anime, a new season of it would be really different after all this time, I would think.
My favorite scene, Kenichi is fighting his big rival and losing badly -- until he starts channeling his masters one after the other:
I've been here in Florida for about 5 days (since late Tuesday night) and everything is wonderful, but I am about ready to be home. This was the perfect length for a visit. I'm thinking about looking for the worlds cheapest 1 bedroom apartment here in the area so I can spend a bit more time here, or else find something nice to rent for three months. I'm not rea)y in a position to do that for a couple of years I don't think. Maybe not while I still have a cat.
"Deranged Trump Ally Blows Half His Campaign Cash on Own Book"
---
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is campaigning for Minnesota governor by giving away copies of his autobiography, paid for with campaign funds.
The 64-year-old, whom President Donald Trump, 79, dubbed “THE Pillow Guy,” announced his run for Minnesota governor in December. Since then, he has spent roughly $187,000 of the $356,000 raised in the first two weeks of his campaign on copies of his own book, What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO.
"And given Grenell’s reputation as an asshole, we’re sure there’s no shortage of people willing to dish on him, like the “two former colleagues” who were happy to call him a “a ruthlessly ambitious asshole,”"
I have one question: If Quisling Ric is a ruthlessly ambitious asshole, how is he ANY different from the rest of Maladministration 2.0? Near as I can tell the only variations we get are just the personal flair, like either ambitious bigoted assholes, or ambitious crank assholes, or ambitious stupid assholes, or even ambitious mean assholes. So on and so forth.
He's been bored with the project and ignoring it for at least three weeks by my count. If McDonalds came out with a McTrump Mac it would keep him occupied and Truth Socialing for at least two months.
Well, it was another beautiful day here in Florida and with my dad and his so so so lovely wife. We saw a Cocoa Village Playhouse show of Gypsy with a terrific cast and then had a four course meal.
Tomorrow we have tickets a a Bee Gees act. I love the Bee Gees so that should be fun.
This is a bit disturbing. The birdfeeder has been down to dregs for a while, given that the squirrel managed to dislodge the feeder tray at the bottom. I brought it inside, replaced the cheap bolt holding the bottom on with a solid pan headed quarter inch bolt with a washer and a nut, and filled the feeder and hung it.
Came inside, put the tools away and was washing my hands. I looked out the window to see that they were already back at it. I tell you, I tell you! They’re watching us!
A couple of years ago I helped a friend put up a temporary clothesline between the house and garage. It was only about 7 feet of the ground so no ladders were needed. Just as I was getting ready to clip the end on the garage end I looked back and a hummingbird was already perched on the line testing it out.
Appreciate that, but right now the only squirrel I have around on dayshift is a little red squirrel that was orphaned by one of my cats last summer. She’s incredibly sweet and funny and friendly, and I don’t mind her having her turn at the feeder, I feel a bit of obligation towards helping her through this first winter. She was such a little baby last summer that I’m astonished that she made it. Her mother was really hard-working, and I think she had a lot of food stashed away and that’s why the baby survived because she would hang out with her mother when she was working, and she learned for those stashes are.
I had somebody putting up a soffit on the south side of my garage last summer. I asked them to put up one on the north side as well, and they said oh that’s probably a good idea. I said yeah I think my squirrels are smart enough to walk around to the other side of the garage.
It’s funny how unique they are, they each have their own little personalities. I figure it’s up to us to keep them out of the insulation.
Gotta get rid of the regime first! Bombing the people is not really going to win hearts and minds. Trying to use economic sanctions is not going to work either. Nancy should know better than to endorse the fascists.
***The final-ish straw may have come in the runup to Trump’s Venezuela adventure, when Grenell tangled with Marco Rubio over how to deal with Nicolas Maduro and lost, which had to be a very special kind of humiliation.***
Okay, clarification -- was Ric Grenell in some official capacity at that point? Or was the head of the Kennedy Center at the table when State and Defense were deciding how to kidnap a foreign head of state? Not that I should be surprised -- it's the whole fucking Mad Hatter's Tea Party here, all the time -- just asking for clarification and also wondering if anyone else finds that as surprising as I do. Okay, not surprising -- I mean, fucking Marco Rubio should have "welcome" stamped on his head, that's how much of a leader he is, that someone basically walking off the street can compete with him for Assmouth's ear on what Marco is acctually fucking in charge of. I mean, I think that's the headline right there.
I'm sure Grenell just imposed himself on Rubio and was told to fuck off. Grenell obviously has a hideously outsized idea of his own importance and significance. In his mind, his experience as a (loathed) diplomat gave him super-duper foreign policy chops. I'd bet anything he tried to condescend to Rubio about it.
Yesssss he was sidelined after too fucking stupid screamed at Susie about his lols “minutes” at RNC of all dumb UnIntelligent for former ADNI … she’s the acceptable grift / power money faucet … is he new to his own party’s lols dynamics… this is former ADNI against lols actual foreign threats…are all some

oh, snap. still want you to set up a website for me... happy Valentine's Day
Sounds good. I know how it is, because I was left on my own recognizance once. And in fairness to me, they should've known better.
What? Inconceivable!
Well the DOW is over 50,000 and our warriors shot down party balloons over El Paso, so it's cool.
$50,000. It’s over $50,000. That’s what you need to be focusing on.
Mum's the word. I SAW NUHZING!!
Is Rebecca at the ice dancing competition or Munich?
What's this worth to you?
I take Soros Bux.
My silence can be bought with cakes we like.
"you wonderful filthy fuckaducks don't need to tell her anything was out of the ordinary today, right?"
We'll need money first.
You got fired. But you got better.
Hah, I always got an appropriate movie reference.
Robyn did say that Valentine's Day was a big ol' mess.
I didn’t notice. Glad you got rehired.
Any lips that tell on you will never touch mine.
I love a good tragedy.
My silence can be purchased for $1000 cash.
I look forward to this bribe.

From Crack Addict to CEO to Political Chiseller, and back.
What are the odds!!
This is why America trusts Republicans on the economy.
They are businessmen!
"And given Grenell’s reputation as an asshole, we’re sure there’s no shortage of people willing to dish on him, like the “two former colleagues” who were happy to call him a “a ruthlessly ambitious asshole,”"

Near as I can tell the only variations we get are just the personal flair, like either ambitious bigoted assholes, or ambitious crank assholes, or ambitious stupid assholes, or even ambitious mean assholes. So on and so forth.
Ruthlessly ambitious assholes tend to be very protective of their god-given turf.
I expect the remodel of the Kennedy Center to be as through as the East Wing.
yOu will have black coal smoke coming out of it
I do hope there's no demolition at the Kennedy Center, but I'm less than confident.
I don’t think he can help himself.
He can't. He does everything without any consideration for what comes next.
You know what he's like. It's going to be shite.
That new East Wing is never happening.
He's been bored with the project and ignoring it for at least three weeks by my count. If McDonalds came out with a McTrump Mac it would keep him occupied and Truth Socialing for at least two months.
They just tore it down with no fucking plan in place. If they had an actual PLAN for everything, it wouldn't matter if he got bored.

Just as I was getting ready to clip the end on the garage end I looked back and a hummingbird was already perched on the line testing it out.
I’m picturing the hummingbird giving you a thumbs up and a wink.
They sent in that work order two weeks ago. What took you so long?
That’s my rush schedule.
I heard some chatter from the critters by my place. They must have been talking to their buddies over at your place about that operation.
I hope it met with their approval.
There is a feeder (We have one) that closes the ports when a squirrel jumps on it. Let me look for it. Back in a minute...
It is not this but is similar...

I wish I could export my skwerls to you. Mine are ground skwerls and they are incredibly destructive little shits.

Fascists and centrists will always unite in punishing anyone who defies US hegemony.
Behold one of the strangest things you will ever see in your life.
Phil Anselmo - yeah, the guy from Pantera - dressed in bright colors and singing Dr. John.
They're both from New Orleans.
I LIKE Dr. John.
The same may not be said about Phil Anselmo, the derelict and detestable piece of shit.
I know.
He is a white power asse holle, I just had hoped he had changed after seeing this video.
Guess he has not.
I like Dr. John too.
I like Dr John - or, liked him - he is of the spirit world now
