That took me back to the Buffalo Madness Farm, where my neighbor once reseeded his set-aside acres with prairie grasses, and me and my gelding, Bean went riding through his five=foot tall grasses and scared up a young buck. I couldn't stop Bean from chasing that young stag through the grasses for several acres. Bouncy fun!...
"U.S. President Donald Trump holds a collectors card depicting the assassination attempt during the Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House on April 21, 2025 in Washington, DC."

SNAP caseworker finally called me. Nice lady, but infuriating. Apparently there was a massive paperwork error two years ago that said I pay $700 a month for rent and…I never have. So because that was corrected in February, my food assistance is $138 a month. Which is…nothing, practically speaking.
I’m broke as a damn joke. And I’m suddenly hungry.

I was very calm when someone allegedly tried to assassinate someone last summer. I watched the replays several times.
I calmly concluded that what I was seeing was a hoax. A stupid kid had been conned into becoming a dead assassin and someone else had ducked down for a second to nick his ear with a small blade only to bounce back up and do a superhero power pose. That ear nick trick was taught to him by pro wrestling magnate Linda McMahon who received a cabinet post for services rendered.
It would take a pretty good shot to put a bunch of live rounds downrange without risking the life of the beneficiary of the hoax. And the shooter who did that would not be some stooge, he'd have to be in on the plot.
No, Occam's razor says it was a kid who took some potshots at the candidate and almost got him, then got deaded for his trouble.

RIP, dearly departed Daisy the springer spaniel.
So, that's why they're called 'Springers". Remember Snoopy's weed claustrophobia?
I kept looking for Julie Andrews to run, singing, into the frame. And not YOU can't unsee that, either! Bwa-hs-ha.
This gif is like "Days of Heaven" except with puppy dogs!
Ah, the running of the dogaroos! So inspiring.
As an English Springer/Sprocket
I like to jump and spring
I like the way the grass feels
As it rubs my nether thing
Don't go into the long grass!

How cool is that! I didn't know horses chase stags, my horse sure didn't, lazy girl probably. She's gone to that big stable in the sky, kisses, Babe.
Those are springy springers Martini.
Bounding hounds: delightful! Thanks Martini!
Deeelightful!💕
Pogo Puppies!
Those dogs sure look like they're having a lot of fun!
Yes, they certainly appear to be rather happy doggos. I do believe that I would like to be in their place.
Especially now.
I thought these aptly named pups were sight hounds.
🎶There’s a bright, golden haze on the meadow.
The wheat is as high as a spaniel’s... will you guys stop jumping up and down so I can get an accurate reference... ear.🎶
And it looks like they're bounding
Right up to the skyyyyyy . . . .
Oh, there's some beautiful bouncing...
The wonderful thing about hounds
Is hounds are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs!
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about hounds is
I'm not the only one
The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is they can bring down and strip a gazelle in ten seconds
" one of the things Tiggers do best."
/grins wickedly/
Every child in those videos of the DUI hire look at him like he is repellent. I wonder if he smelled really drunk?
Good thing Americans really care about email hygiene at least. The NYT says that is how we got here.
My favorite pup...the first one to pause to look back at the camera..."Why aren't you doing this too?"
1) Taller dogs need to jump less.
2) Pete needs to try shaving sober.
3) Too soon for Pope jokes!
But priests and nuns are still fair game, yes?

That time they held the Pope hostage and and made him stand next to Trump.

I'm pretty sure that Hegseth has enough tattoos to qualify him for a one way trip to El Salvador's extreme gang prison.

I reach. Iive in a van down by what used to be the river.
I'm just applying, hope y'all get fed.
Tick tock, Pete…
Michael Flynn is warming up in the DoD bullpen.

A noble effort, bit late, though.
Al IS capable of impressive performance if you can get him to burn the right fuel. With a blower. Advance his timing...
I have to say, after NPR, the next most trustworthy US news outlet seems to be NBC News.
The AP isn't bad.
Hustler!
That Larry David op-ed was so good that Chris Rock was like “Damn! Now THATS a slap in the face!”
"BIBLE NOISE about what Jesus really thinks about Christless motherfuckers like her."
What would the hippy who lived communally, despised the rich, healed the sick, fed the poor, befriended sex workers, and was wrongly executed, do?
He'd bust a rhyme about it. Like so: "Why should you want to know? Don't you mind about the future..."

Was the firefighter who died a crisis actor? Are we going full Infowars now?
You never go full Infowars.
Did I say "no one died"? Did I say people were "crisis actors"?
I did not say either of those things.
People died to sell the lie.
He nicked his ear to sell the lie.
It was a hoax.
It would take a pretty good shot to put a bunch of live rounds downrange without risking the life of the beneficiary of the hoax. And the shooter who did that would not be some stooge, he'd have to be in on the plot.
No, Occam's razor says it was a kid who took some potshots at the candidate and almost got him, then got deaded for his trouble.
Did I say the kid did the shooting?
No I did not.
Someone else did that.
Someone good at that kind of thing.
Someone who can keep his mouth shut.
