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

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.

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.

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.

OT: A water main break in the neighborhood cut off water to our office building - so we got sent home early. Full day's pay for half day's work!

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.

The questions so far have been very atypical of the WH Press Corpse. Intelligent and on point.

Canceled my subscription to Wa Poo today. As much as I want to support actual journalism, I'm not helping Bezos's bottom line.

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.
