Until they're dead, voted out, or we have a civil war.

Well, this isn't going to make you feel any better about that. It's an article from the Washington Post today about the takeover of formerly non-partisan board of elections in Georgia. Don't know how the changes to the law there compare to the current situation in Arizona, but I know it's what's being pushed for in a number of states.

If I didn't screw it up, there shouldn't be a paywall. https://wapo.st/3i6GZKY

Dogtown, yo! You MUST tell me stories! *googles "most expensive college town in US"* Extra points for "couch roach" btw, since you aren't mocking me or anything....

Dolly's in the Country Music Hall of Fame and likely more important to her, the Songwriters Hall of Fame. The R&R HoF nomination is nice, but really, it's kind of another indication of how silly and all-over-the-map the place is.

I said I wasn't mocking you EARLIER. OK, now you know where I live too, maybe, depending where that Google search decides to land. I have learned that Tucson actually may be even hipper than its PR machine even claims; you kinda undersold all that just a scooch. You can't imagine how much I miss Venice, before it all went glam.

Wow. That went dark real quick.

Throw in some beef broth and have a Bloody Bull.

Not quite. The search cited at least four possibilities in NorCal, so your secrets are safe for now, Mysteriosa. It also mentioned Flagstaff, my alma mater. I lived in an actual shack in the ghetto there for $60/mo. I wrote a song called "Four Walls" about it. Drublic Jr. met Danny Trejo on the Venice boardwalk once. I seriously want to hear more about your time there.

Yeah, I'll have to do that.

Criminey! (Trying to cut back the cursing for Lent: not really, but you still owe me a Catholic story. ) I thought my local college rag might be exaggerating that $$$ story, since fucking STANFORD is in the area, and that's in a super rich place.

I loved Flagstaff so much,just passing through, that beautiful red dirt! Damn I wish it weren't so crazy up there. It's the only northernish SW place I really like (unlike, say, Taos, ugh!). Wait, so you went to school up there? Not in Tucson? Talk about mysterious. ALSO, importantly, I'd like more info on that song. And even more importantly, I think once, years ago, before I knew who you were exactly, you may have been talking about a song you wrote about a strike? When you were younger? But you wouldn't tell me the details for "reasons"? Man, you have a lot of explaining to do. I'm finally going to try to sleep now; hope you've been taking notes.

That alone is a big boost for the Dems. Who knew that Putzen's invasion would suck the air out of the right wing echo chamber?

Apparently all the GQP/russian apologist you now hear caterwauling did. That and drying up their source of rubles, er... I mean dollars. Now they'll just have to depend on the rubes for their money.
