While it sounds cute, the phrase Regional Car Dealership Rococo makes absolutely no sense. Anyone who has been in a car dealership in the last 30 or 40 years knows that they're the most stripped-down, functional buildings you'll ever walk into. Perhaps MedSpa Rococo would be more appropriate?
Off topic: That reminds me -- a lot of shows on streaming platforms are getting more and more sexually explicit with almost total female nudity (but no pubes, because that's apparently going too far), erect nipples, and simulated oral. Lots of male buttocks and occasional full frontal. I much prefer less flesh and shorter sex scenes, myself. My all-time favorite was in the film "Unfaithful," when Diane Lane is lying on the bed trembling in anticipation of having sex with Olivier Martinez's character, although I did wonder why her character would want to cheat on her husband, who was played by Richard Gere (yum).
The only way that federalizing DC will "clean up the streets" is if the National Guard starts picking up litter, much of which is just windblown trash that flies out of dumpsters or trucks as part of normal solid waste removal. At this point DC should look into retrocession, I think Maryland might take us back this time as an act of mercy. At least we would get voting rights that way.

Apparently he didn't give a fuck. Probably told Howdy Doody if they didn't like it he could have the job. Rubio and Howdy Doody will be the only 2 left, doing all the jobs and no work, by the end.

I wish I had known this this morning, when I could have shown solidarity by not buying the handle of Jim Beam I bought earlier today. ( I know many people do not have a good opinion of Jim Beam bourbon, but I checked - it IS distilled in Kentucky. Only problem is that the company is owned by a Japanese firm, Suntory Global Spirits )
My favorite was Jack Black, but my budget was more Jim Beam. Then I discovered that Kessler's did the same thing for a lot less money. Nearly killed me though, so now I drink water instead.
It's been several months since I had anything stronger than Mike's Hard Lemonade, but, for some reason, the urge for the real "hard stuff" has gotten a lot stronger in the past few weeks ( probably because every day, there's new FFOTUS fuckery afoot ). I don't get that high off of what I drink of it, but find that there's more bad effects on my sleep and my urinary efforts if I drink too much of it at one time ( "5 drinks a binge"? I guess I've been a binge drinker since age 18 ).
All these Wonkers who talk about their legal cannabis just make me "jelly"
I have legal cannabis here. I still hate the stuff, never liked the smell or the feel of being high. BUT!
Big but.
When I had a heart attack in December of 2019, I developed severe anxiety. None of my docs would do anything about that, so I decided to look into some CBD edibles. That was useless, so I asked for a bit of THC in it. Better, but still not much help. Eventually I settled on a combo of about 5mg Indica based THC and 2.5 mg of CBD. I can sleep through the night now if my bladder will allow it!

Never mind Acosta, the idea that Pammy Jo attends Bible Study is just a bit too ludicrous and unbelievable to be true but that idea that it's a White House sponsored Bible Study explains it. Anyone attending such is only looking to curry favor with FFOTUS, not extend their "knowledge" of their "Christian heritage".
"The McMansionization of the White House, or: Regional Car Dealership Rococo: a treatise" was a great post, but that was AGES ago! And yet still, Kate has only made one other post in the months since. It's a shame, but you can't really blame her for moving on. Formula, even great formula, gets boring after a while. Kate's formula isn't boring to read yet, but she's got a better getting tired of making it. Hell, she's said as much.
Looking at that thing from FFOTUS about "beautifying" DC, I wonder if he's at all aware that the large majority of the District is outside what is usually called the "federal triangle" ( I may be misusing that term, since I know there's a Metro stop called "Federal Triangle" ). One wonders if all this "federal law enforcement" will extend to the actual areas of DC that might need "law enforcement" help.
I also wonder if his "efforts" will go towards revitalizing Northeast and Anacostia - or if will all go to the neighborhoods around the National Mall ( most of which are fine ) or Georgetown ( where all the rich white motherfuckers live ).
FFOTUS continues to jack up the hatefulness and idiocy with everything he proposes. I hope he nevere gets to see his WH "ballroom" approved - and everything else he's tried get smacked into the pavement ( it would be nice if that included most of his cabinet and his "supporters" - curb stomp them ALL! )
Hello, have a Monday kitten gif: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/strange-kitten-in-the-mirror
And meme chat: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/f3ccc0d1-c6fd-42c4-9777-51b0c1cdc709?utm_source=share
Friends of mine got a flat cat. It weirded out the resident 3D cats for awhile, until they figured out it didn't move. After that they ignored it.
Kitties hunching up like that never fails to crack me up! What do they think they're doing?
Musical accompaniment:

So happy for kittens. Kind of takes the nastiness of the entire Ghastly Old Perverts off my mind for a few seconds, anyway!
I know exactly how kitteh felt, though usually I leave the IRL mirror out of it.
Badass Kittah!
"Yeah, I got moves!"
Hiss hiss pounce pounce turn hiss fluff the tail hiss hiss POUNCE!
Ginger kitty antics. Made me smile in the face of so much political dysfunction.
Good morning.
I'm getting a very distinct Staying Alive vibe from the single braincell kitty:
🎶Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm an orange cat and I can stalk🎶
Ginger weirdo IN TRAINING!
Gotta start 'em early!
Critters are so adorbs when they discover mirrors!
Kitty's acting crazy
Could it be by chance
He thinks he's involved in
A groovy TicTok dance
https://i.giphy.com/JRmYtWTjm1IHZXLgdh.webp
The more I look at that kit, the more I am impressed with the repertoire he's acquired in his brief time on the planet...
He's got many moves, smooth, fluid and quick
M Jackson reincarnate.
But without the creepiness.
Kitty got moves
Little kitties in general have a pretty high crazy quotient, and little 𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 kitties...
"Theat's one tough cat out there!" he says, strategically retreating...
Harpo, Chico, Groucho, Zeppo, Gummo, Catto.
I saw Marx brothers there, too!

That scene is still brilliant! Thanks!
Who doesn't just love babby cats!?
I call all three of my rescues “baby cat “ even though two of them are getting kinda old.
My 15-year-old kitty Zoe is also known by "baby girl."
My cats are all my babbies until they are gone!

“Regional Car Dealership Rococo.” Sounds like Sir's going for baroque.
Jackie Chan movies have naked women showing off their pubes? How did I miss that?

I can't tell if that kitten in the hed photo is trying to attack the "other" kitten in that mirror, or is just checking out his own moves.

Gilligan's Island with nudity?
Now this Simulation is just fucking with us....
Last night I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter that looks like Elvis:

Yaaaaay for Ohio! May there be many more.
Doug Wilson is a rape condoning, child molester protector, and general disgusting pervert. No wonder Dirty Hands Hegseth loves him.

Bourbon drinkers toasting in Kentucky “We voted for this! Derp”
I've been known to enjoy the odd Manhattan now and then, and I damn sure didn't vote for the Dotard.
