Ta, Rebecca. I was at work all day, and had to make multiple shopping stops once I got downtown, then heat up the dashi and boil the ramen so my under-the-weather beloved could have hot soup. No time at all for Kra$$h, and I don't mind that one bit.

I slept all day with a headache and there is no way I'm listening to this shit. I'll just read the top comments and keep going.

I think he's overrated. Pete Hegseth dropped two seventy million dollar jets off the edge of an aircraft carrier into the ocean. Sean Duffy actually gets planes to collide in mid-air.

Kash is a piker.

So this guy isn't a bug-eyed, flop-sweaty, inept bureaucrat character from a Key and Peele sketch?

Off to enjoy a volume of the Classic Comics Press collection 'The Heart of Juliet Jones" https://panelsandprose.com/2022/10/16/the-heart-of-the-heart-of-juliet-jones.

For intellectual and moral improvement, and I am not kidding. At all.

>"For intellectual and moral improvement, "

I read the entire 25-book "Freddy the Pig" series for that reason. Not kidding, either.

Oh my, I've never heard of these, and am beyond delighted by a quick look, thanks!

Is there a good source online? I imagine at least some of the books are beyond copyright by now?

I bought the Freddy books last winter from the evil Amazon in order to read them on my original Kindle reader. The gimmick is to reverse anthropomorphism: they give animal attributes to humans.

It looks like I can find many of the books at Internet Archive (for example, https://archive.org/details/freddyanniversar00walt) and the rest with Libby from my local library. Thanks again!

Cool! Be sure to start with Freddy Goes to Florida; it's the "genesis book." Freddy and two advisers make a trip to Florida while the barnyard animals left behind on the Bean farm begin organizing on the home front. Freddy is hardly mentioned.

I read all the books in strict chronological order. I did not read "The Poetry of Frederick Bean."

If they're poor, it's their own fault. There are lots of opportunities out there for Special Duty assignments.

Thom Tillis may be freed to speak his mind since he decided to retire, but that doesn't make him an intelligent man.

If recruitment is through the roof, I can only imagine the kind of knuckheaded assholes they've managed to attract.

It really is the dregs

Which is scary, because it's precisely not the kind of Brownshirt an innocent could negotiate with NOT to be kidnapped

ICE contacted me, because of my prior LE history. I couldn't tell them fuck all the way off fast enough. Not even their 50K recruitment bonus is enough to sell out.
