"Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has tendered his resignation, becoming the latest top military official to step down amid tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to The Wall Street Journal and CNN. The two reportedly had friction on several issues, including “the direction of the service and the ouster of numerous senior Army officers,” per The Journal."
**Immediately jumps to goose story** I am the nice times person who has befriended a goose and writes about movies. Wonkette is cool like that.
Gimothy the goose update.
Gimothy now comes running when I show up and follows me for a bit when I go to leave. It is the most adorable thing ever. This goose now gets quality food over the moldy bread that people usually bring, if Gimothy fills up on the good stuff they will ignore the bad, which might have been part of what caused the wry neck. Some people have questioned if I am doing the right thing by feeding this wild animal.
I know I am.
I am not delving into the arguments but just know I understand all the issues involved and have decided to follow my instincts on this.
I like them but I worry they’ll attack my war rig (old Volvo SUV) as I drive out of the neighborhood. Fang it, we’re going to the Safeway to buy mother’s milk!
So I had a couple of drop in advising appointments today. School starts in a week. Advising high school seniors is about the same as advising senior citizens, but the downside is, parents.
Brooke, King Linus welcomes you!

NOW it's official.
This was anticipated:
"Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has tendered his resignation, becoming the latest top military official to step down amid tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, according to The Wall Street Journal and CNN. The two reportedly had friction on several issues, including “the direction of the service and the ouster of numerous senior Army officers,” per The Journal."
What could possibly go wrong?
So that leaves Dan Caine and some mediocre Jesus-y one star generals?
Hegseth is destroying our armed forces. Full stop.
Here's a sampling of the anti-ICE protest art on display at the Minnesota State Fair.

This is too great. Good for the MN state fair!
I just "snoozed" my family chat because my Dad is a dick when he bothers to respond & my brother is a god-botherer. AITA?
I AM NOT.
Is it pronounced bin COW ski or bin COFF ski or some other way?

Oh! Come sit by me!
Just the URL alone for this page is fun. I did a double take there for a sec.

I've heard the more adult reference is "ding-a-ling."

Unless you're a Hostess--then Ding Dong is fine.
Not Twinkie? With the creme filling?

Sounds like Gimothy imprinted on you, mama.
I think so. Most geese are annoying and just want food, but this one looks at my face.
Gimothy!!!
Gimothy has their own crew now.
One goose with a messed up wing is always at their side.
Another goose that seems to have a foot issue always follows close behind.
And a pigeon.
That right there is a children's book.
When we were passing out duck treats I was saying I need to go home and see if there's any Gimothy news...
Ziggy, you are now an honorary Cobra Chicken!
You are now his human.
I think Gimothy is a she.
My Canadian girlfriend.
Does this qualify me to be an FBI agent?
You'll need a hand gun, and probably should have a badge!
Not until you...
...oh, wait. I'm not goin' there...
ME EITHER!!
New sign: Please Don't Goose The Goose.
welcome back!! Your absence was a bummer.
New Correspondent, who dis?
Yeah, she is obviously from the times before my arrival here.
Hi, TheHeroOfCanton, rush chairman, damned glad to meet you.
Hero, Brooke has been here during your tenure.
In the past it was sporadic, tho - day jerbs and such.
Now, THIS is the day jerb - problem solved!
I sorta remember Brooke, like I sorta remember Ken Layne, and AMC.
From that era then?
No one is old enough to remember Ken.
Well, except Gav. He remembered Ken.
I was here in the beginning, The Washingtonienne and Butt Sechs!
Damn, no wonder you itch.
I began lurking post-Cox.
I am a baby.
The proverbial fruit of Rebecca's loins, after a fashion.
She brought itch powder.
Well somebody had to do it!

There’s a mad max e-bike gang of middle-schoolers rampaging my neighborhood. Shiny and chrome!
They better be wearing helmets (gets ready to shake fist).
Might want to read up on ebike gangs of kids in Orange County CA.
This is a good thing. Send 'em over here.
I like them but I worry they’ll attack my war rig (old Volvo SUV) as I drive out of the neighborhood. Fang it, we’re going to the Safeway to buy mother’s milk!
"Those judges that cannot be bought do not need to be obeyed either." . . .
Yes, I forgot to say welcome to Brooke!

Way to go Brooke!
omg
Mark! HI!!!!!
Pleased to see you fighting the fight...
omg
Mark! Wait, I don't even know you. But HI!!!!!, nevertheless.

Cranky and prone to wondering monologues?
