The Mild Jrs sent a video of a bobcat sauntering across their yard a few days ago. Mid-day, about 20 or 30 feet behind them as they watched from their car in the garage.

Mild Jr said it was about the size of a German Shepard.

I love the fox family.

We're all the same in so many ways, aren't we?

The fox went out one stormy night,

she prayed to the Moon to give her light,

for she'd many a mile to go that night

before she reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,

many a mile to go that night

before she reached the town-o.

When I sang that to my child persons in the 60s I assumed it was the fox dad that did the grocery run, but I guess it certainly could be the fox dad staying with the kits while mom does the procuring. Or it might be two moms. At any rate they are probably chilling until the the other parent gets back with one of old lady flipperflopper's geese and a duck.

The traditional lyrics do refer to "he." I just altered them to fit the gif above. ;0)

Joni is a phony

"Yer kids are going to die"

Foxes take care of their kits

They're caring and so sly.

When she wants to talk shit

She hits the cemetary

To make a snotty comment

About the old tooth fairy.

Foxes do not have time

For such contentious stuff

They like to live and play around

With their tiny balls of fluff.

That fight with Bessent must have been really one sided if Musk would rather people believe he got beat up by a four year old.

I don’t know if it’s better to think our current president can’t read his briefings because he doesn’t like his reading glasses, but that’s what my gut tells me. ONE of his many weaknesses is vanity.

Here's what I'm thinking. Chump had the Resolution Desk taken out and completely refinished after Li'l Kevlar wiped his boogers on it. How do we know the same desk made it back into the Oval Office?

I'm thinking Chump had a replica made and brought in while the original is now down in his office in Mar-a-Lago.

ERNST: I'm sorry the people I spoke to were so detached from reality. Now here's the President to tell you about how they replaced Joe Biden with a robot clone, Mr. Kennedy to explain how germs don't exist, and Mr. Miller to tell you the latest news in the war against Venezuela, after which we'll have a panel discussion on Pizzagate.

Jonie, while technically correct, yes we are all going to die, it begs the question of why you need insurance or even doctors (and all other types of things) . I'm certain she, and all republicans, would scream bloody murder if we touch their goverment-provided health insurance in any discernible way.

Ok, kids, help an old woman out here. There’s just so much shit flying around that I get confused. Are Chinese ships returning to our ports? Are the tariffs still decimating small businesses? Are there still tariffs (since the appeals court is looking into the legality of the damned things)? Should we still be stockpiling coffee and OTC pain meds? Meanwhile, Whiskey Pete is itching to go to war with China over Taiwan. Does he have any idea how outnumbered we are by China? I’m gonna go fire up some herbs and leave this reality for a while.

There's still a lot of uncertainty. The last I read there's a chance the courts revoke Trump's tariffs in the long run, but we can't be certain about how long that will take to run it's course. Plus, there's always the risk he will just ignore the courts and do it anyway.

Chinese export arrivals seem to be up a little bit from last month, but keep in mind that there's about a three month lag time between when a retailer orders something from China, and when it actually arrives here. I think it makes sense to still keep a buffer of anything you routinely might need like pain or allergy meds.

I don't know why Pete is itching to go to war with China. It's probably just because he's an incompetent moron who is used to just saying whatever stupid nonsense he wanted to as a tv personality, and it not mattering. :P

I'm sure I'm not alone in making this mental edit to Nadler's diplomatic remark:

Maybe Nadler should have kicked an ICE agent or two in the nads. Sure, he'd get arrested and hogtied, but if they're gonna do that shit anyway, they might as well be hurtin' first.
