For years I thought I was the only person who found ballet flats terrible for foot support (also super unflattering if you have thick ankles, but that's another rant.) I can't wear heels anymore either, so if I want some height I wear platforms.
After he boots McCarthy out of the Speaker's chair, the GQP should elect Gaetz Speaker. I want to see Gaetz's leadership as the next shutdown drops in 40 days. Meanwhile McCarthy can drum up support to kick Gaetz out of the House on his ethics violations.
As a Parisienne, my spouse finds the pandemic of ballet flats incomprehensible. She noticed it the first time she came to the U.S. wondering aloud, "What are these boring flat shoes American women are wearing? And where do I find a place that sells shoes with any kind of a heel?" The answer to the last was, of course, "Paris."
Also, only relevant at a slant, we were just visiting two women friends from Paris who now live in San Diego, and while we were having fish tacos by the beach one night one of them said, in response to a story my spouse had told, "Parisian women are fearless." The other woman chimed in quietly and confidently, "We certainly are." I felt compelled to add, "Yes, you don't need to tell me."
Go out on a limb here and say, blurry vision after rising too early and spending hours glued to wonkette has an up side. I just misread an email header as from OopsieScientific. What a fantastic name!

Trump's trial this morning sounds like a shitshow, at least for the defense. From the BBC:
He's also said something that might be a preview of his legal defence, noting his financial statements include a disclaimer.
“When you take a look at the financial statement, don’t believe anything you read," he said. "This is what's called a full disclaimer."
"It says go out and do your own research."
It seems like an unusual strategy - to undermine the validity of your own statements - but it's not the first time Trump has made this point.
Followed by "It's a scam. It's a sham. Just so you know, my financial statements are phenomenal."
So, don't trust financial statements, especially his, which are phenomenal. I assume he is referring to his own financial statements when he says "It's a scam. It's a sham."
"Our client is congenitally incapable of providing a truthful statement, so just choose your own numbers because whatever this is that we prepared is nothing based in reality."
"go out and do your own research" - WTF does that even mean? He wants his supporters to ignore the financial statements that are in the public record and make shit up?
Wonkette kitty wishes you a pleasant campsite sunrise.

I had a cat houseguest for a couple of weeks. It felt like camping a stranger that Tater did not like.
She is gone now and if my little dog had gotten along with her It would have been a nice stay. She was a good guest..
I'm sure you took excellent care of her, too. You're a good egg, Me.
Thanks!
You really are, though. Maybe a little scrambled sometimes... 😁
Only by a whisker.
Touchè!
I had a cat named Monroe that was half Siamese. We went camping all the time. Didn't need a leash. Monroe was always at my side.
Did she stay in the proper hemisphere?
Ossies raus!
Sunrise at a campsite is always a pleasant experience.
Sunrise when one is on the right side of the dirt is always nice
Which side of the dirt is the right side might vary depending upon many factors, like if you’re a Republican politician….
The mythical sane republicans
Sunrise at a hotel with good beds and soft fluffy towels is always a much better experience.
Sunrise at home on the porch with a nice cuppa is best.
Sunrise at 50,000' is nice, but hard to get to.
Earth rise in space would be nice to view.
Mmm...beef!
"old folks freed from the shackles of their student loans"
Not me, I was fortunate enough to do personaly bancruptcy before student loan debt was exempted.
"ballet flats, even in porn. (Vice)"
Oh, Vice, you're like 8 years too late with that story. But now I want to re-watch Suspiria.
Mmmmmm Italian Steak.......

Is the constant quoting of song lyrics and TV/movie lines recognized as a form of Tourette's?
I just found out my new boss is a Swiftie.
He likes Tom Swift books too?
(wow, am I an oldz)
"he asked, langorously."
She. But apparently yes, since also a sci-fi nerd.
Matt Gaetz is such a rich spoiled brat. Richie Rich + Jack Nicholson's character from "The Shining."

Name that poet:
"We are the 801.
We are the central shaft."
Certain streets have certain corners.
Listening off my phone, I have to say, the guitars in the second half are very different in mono.
Chill out Dean

In other news, he said this over t the weekend:

"Your proposal is acceptable."
"Seemingly" would be a fun food brand, whatever the food was. I'm thinking aot,k. I'd eat Seemingly Tortilla Chips with Seemingly Salsa.
I might draw the line at Seemingly Chicken.

I remember when the company preparing them - not that long ago - started adding the disclaimer.
"Our client is congenitally incapable of providing a truthful statement, so just choose your own numbers because whatever this is that we prepared is nothing based in reality."
"go out and do your own research" - WTF does that even mean? He wants his supporters to ignore the financial statements that are in the public record and make shit up?
It means that the banks should watch some YouTube videos about how much his properties are really worth.
Yes?
It's true, most financial statements have a disclaimer. But I don't think it's a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
Yeah, I think you are supposed to be subtle in how fraudulent your financial statements are.
some of them sound like that
Does anyone here have any experience with the new ICS Hyper-encabulator? I'm thinking of replacing my old one.https://youtu.be/5nKk_-Lvhzo?si=1OF2EovmSsCl-Rpj
