Ta, Evan. I suppose I'll be able to watch WH press briefings when I retire a few years from now.

LIVE From The White House, Another Place Ronna McD Can't Work, It's A Press Briefing!

Love the headline snark!

I think the MSNBC hosts that said nothing about Ronna, is as interesting as those that did. Most of them are from the early part of the day. Andrea Mitchell, Chris Jansing, Katy Durrrrr. Chris Jansing was just very SAD that somebody wasn't able to give her an exact timeline for fixing the problems in Baltimore just now. A day later.

Katy continues to disappoint. Especially given that she was directly targeted by Ttump.

She’s the Pence of Collins.

Rich white people blinded by their privilege. Little self awareness. Sigh.

OT. I have a feeling we'll be crying for Argentina before too long. I haven't made a close study of that idiot down there, life's too short. But the little I've seen I get a strong misogynistic stench, and a strong feeling it is the foundation of the rest of it. (As it ever was and is.) He admits as much himself. The economics are just stupid, but the politics are vile. It won't work, of course. Hope they see that sooner rather than painfully later.

He’s a libertarian economist, so stupid + batshit crazy.

No so crazy that he didn't have some kind of academic career. In other words, he has been sheltered in academia, hardly someone who has lived the credo he's now selling.

I’ve known libertarian professors in my academic career, and stupid + crazy was not an impediment.

Pete giving the love to the NTSB. Perhaps we need Alito to parse their findings as well. Knowing more than anybody else is his burden to bear.

Well, the founding fathers knew quite a bit about bridges (Concord and Lexington). The original intent was for small wooden construction built for light wagon and pedestrian traffic. Clearly our nation has gotten off course with metal truss bridges.

WaPo article (gift link https://wapo.st/3vwMEEj) about how in order to work for the RNC you have to agree that the election was stollen. The article doesn't say this, but it seems to me a reasonable assumption that whatever money the RNC bothers to give out to candidates will only go to candidates who will refuse to say Joe Biden won. The Republicans are fucked.

I just wanted to commend you in passing for using the correct Wonkette-style-manual spelling of "stollen", though it is also recommended in the manual to spell render it in all-caps.

It is actually kind of impressive just how much they are willing to make total tits of themselves and burn down as much of everything as they can manage because they can't accept that people disliked their big orange blancmange golem.

Well, containers are called "Cubes", so "Cubism" is related to Cuba which is related to Communism!

Speaking of the Corps of Engineers, I remember from ROTC summer camp an Infantryman remarking that he'd rather have a sister in a whorehouse than a brother in the Corps of Engineers.
