I never cared about The Olympics, but I respect it and can't fault fans.

To me, politics is my ongoing Olympics.

"In the House, we have Jasmine Crockett and Jamie Raskin warming up to face off against James Comer and Gym Jordan. This has been four years in the making!"

The one reason that I'm happy the Olympics are on is that it's my every four years chance to watch curling. (I love curling so much, and no one else in my life cares a single bit. I watched my coworkers eyes glaze over as I was explaining scoring. Sigh.)

I was watching the Norway/Italy game today, and every so often you could hear a "USA, USA" chant from one of the other sheets. Guys, read the room (world). The chant has always be kinda cringe, but it's really not great to do now. Cheer for the athletes, yes, but leave the chant out.

I stumbled across it channel surfing one evening in the late 90s during an Olympics and was just mesmerized. It's had me hooked ever since.

This has been a busy day, and I got a lot accomplished. The weather is beautiful, so I cleaned up the patio. Now I want to spend more time outside. All of the prepping of food for the SB is completed, this will make tomorrow easier. I made too much food, normal for me, and some of it will go home with our friend.

Tomorrow, early morning, the bone broth will be ready to cool, strain, and put into small containers. At some point, the dishwasher will be run. I don't think I am ever going to do this again.

Top ten entry for coolest dog breed name:

"Silken Windhound." A strong contender in this judge's opinion.

Beautiful name. The dog must have a shorter nickname.

Yes, I went out for a 90-minute walk in the sub-freezing, howling winds. But I got this photo of a bluebird, so this alone made it worthwhile. Bluebirds might be the pansies of the bird world -- you don't expect them to be hardy and beautiful at the same time, but here they are in the coldest part of winter, thriving. Enjoy!

I have a feeling that we are all living in the movie "Village of the Damned".

The NYT is reporting that Bugeyes Patel ordered the FBI to stand down and not document bullet holes and blood splatter in Renee Good’s car. This should be grounds for impeachment and obstruction of justice charges.

Pom Bandi will get right on that.

When you are embarrassing Hoover's ghost, maybe check your life choices.

Kid Rock makes music for guys who buy personalized, bedazzled tobacco spit cups for their girlfriends for Christmas.

Now you might argue that's an inappropriate gift for a 13-year-old, but sisters really are the hardest members of the family to shop for.

To be fair, he only married his sister because his mail-order bride escaped through the basement window.

I take exception to the visual created by the term "Trump plug".

CzechJournalists's avatar

clairence's avatar

hopefully they don't destroy each other in the primary, so nobody has any shot in the general.

There's already a Dem front-runner.

"Morning?"

You mean that time of day when you're trying sleep but it's really bright out?

I hate that.

UVB-76's avatar

It's when I am drifting off that my cats remind me it's breakfast time.

By this time tomorrow evening, all of maga will be proclaiming that the Kid Rock gonorrhea and incest hour was a huge success and that the Super Bowl got terrible ratings.

It won’t be true, of course. But when has that ever stopped them?

Wait till they try to gaslight the repo man.

Reminds me of

You never did the Kenosha Kid
