Sorry for the lack of attention to you all I have been busy, because I, as an irrelevant white man, have had a strange calling to enter the Democratic race for 2020 and will be running in *CHECKS NOTES* Alabama.

Oh, come on, man. I think we have more than enough white guys running already, especially since I just announced my own candidacy in Alabama this morning. Kindly keep out of the way here, thank you.

Delurking to see if a comment makes the right arrow show up on the last post….

You might as well, everyone else is. Democrat? Why not Republican? ( Ducks and runs away.)

Be kind….give us some pet pics….please?

Eh sure why not? Might as well get us all into the mix here.
Hell if I can do it online I’ll give it a go. Better than sitting in this damn hospital bed waiting to see if my ulcer stops bleeding.

I think it would be a gol darn hoot if Cole registered to run against Roy Moore and (soon enough) Jeff Beauregard Sessions for the Alabama Republican senate race. “Don’t you make me go all Tunch on you!”

OMG laughed out loud while eating the worst dinner I’ve cooked in years. Overdone lamb meatloaf and second pot of rice. At least the yogurt sauce was tasty.
My kitchen timer decided to stop dinging when it hits 00:00 minutes left… charcoal rice in first pot. I won’t look til tomorrow am. I threw it [the timer] away, will get a new one tomorrow… dinner wasn’t nasty, just not really good. Wine was good!
Which race are you going to run in, Cole? Presidential primary or Senate race against Jeff and the pedophile?
Ken
I’m sure with the unstoppable nearly-top-10000 Balloon Juice media machine backing Cole, he’ll win in a walk.

Wait a second…
I have that urge too.
But no… not Alabama… I have no reason to go to Bama…

That’s Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, y’all.

Meanwhile the R party in Minnesota recently decided no name other than Dolt 45’s may sully the ballot for their primary. “Experts predict Downhill Donald will receive 100% of the vote.”

@Patricia Kayden: So Bloomberg wants to run because he believes the current Dem candidates cannot. But he coukd run a huge media and social media campaign to highlight the cruelty to families, especially children. He could pay for field organizers to talk to swing voters in every swing state about America’s tradition of fair play and giving an opportunity for immigants to thrive – and how we already expell criminals for as kittle as unpaid parking tickets.
Heartless and blind all around.

When I first heard Bloomberg was entering the (a) race I thought maybe he’d be running as a Republican. Boy do I feel foolish. Still, I don’t get it. Why would someone that rich want that job? Trump not included because a) he really doesn’t have all that money and b) he’s doing it for the bonus’. He needs the money so he can go on faking being rich.

And, we should note, SP Warren is trolling Bloomberg, now:

In fairness, the stuck in the field incident wasn’t Mr. Cole’s doing, other than having loaned his car to a frat boy. (IIRC.)

Rachel Maddow is reading an excerpt from the book coming out by the Anonymous op-ed writer. Depressing & horrifying and not the slightest bit of a shock.
We are all so so effed if Trump wins in 2020.

Hi again — long time lurker. I visit here multiple times a day and appreciate all the expertise, comments and let’s here.
Delurking because thanks to you I’m enjoying two shows because they were mentioned here. The first is What We Left Behind which is the DS9 documentary. I loved DS9 when it was first aired and enjoyed the documentary and was wondering about your thoughts. The second is the final season of The Good Place. I can’t remember who mentioned both of these programs but thank you so much.

For the first time, an American-made cheese was named best cheese in the world at the World Cheese Awards last week.
Rogue River Blue beat out a three-year aged Reggiano.
Gon on wit’ yo’ bad self R\ogue River! (they’re a short trip up the road)

Really enjoying The Good Place. Have decided that the experiment to improve this latest bunch of humans is a blind for the real work Michael is doing: converting the Bad Place.

Whut? I hope that clears up with a quickness. Sending healing thoughts.

@lahke:
I was surprised tonight’s episode and was wondering where they go from here. It being a way to convert the bad place makes for a good conclusion. Every episode has been so good. I rarely watch tv anymore, and this is the only show I watch in real time.

@zhena gogolia:
As long as the author remains anonymous, it may as well be fiction. It isnt helping, except to give trump something else to call fake.

@Steeplejack: Thanks. Took a header in the bathroom yesterday morning. Was so severely anemic that I could have not made it period. Right now checking that nothing else is sneaking around that might need addressed.

Cowgirl Creamery doesn’t mess around either.

@Yutsano: Damn. You must be feeling pretty weak. Is the origin of your anemia gastro? (iirc, Crohns or severe IBS?); Or are they checking for another origin too? Hope you are getting good care and can rest or distract yourself as much as possible. Sincere sympathy.

@Yutsano: Sorry you are in the hospital. I was in 2 years ago, same thing! Mine was caused by aspirin! Hope the bleeding is stopped fast, it’s most unpleasant.

@TheFlipPsyD: I have a friend who doesn’t like the show because it’s not edgy enough– she wants to see real evil. Well, jeesh, just look around. I like watching people who are trying to get better.

@leeleeFL: Right now they’re pretty sure I’m medically sealed but will still have no food until tomorrow. And they keep asking if I’ve had a bowel movement.

“Good Place” fans need to check out the official podcast. Mark Evan Jackson (he plays Shawn) interviews a wide array of people who work on the show, from the producers and writers to the costume designers and location scouts. And, of course, the actors.

@Steeplejack: Also sending healing thoughts. I ‘ll bet you cannot wait for this medically challenging year to end.
