Anderson Cooper burns Blago to the ground, whisks the ashes into a dustpan, deposits them in a toilet and flushes…
“I’d be happy to work with people on criminal justice reform, but I wouldn’t work with you.” – Anderson Cooper (@AC360)

Well done, Anderson Cooper!

Read the title, was worried this post was about me.

@Baud: That would have required the headline to say:
“Mad, bad and dangerous to know”.

It’s 35 F right now, which is freaking COLD for us, but it’s supposed to get into the 60s later. God, I hope so because I’ll be running around all weekend.
Today, I’m driving two hours south to have brunch with some college kids (they’ll stick me with the check) and then deliver some homemade alfredo sauce to a relative who’s recovering from surgery.
Tomorrow, I’m driving an hour east to help one of the aunties figure out why her laptop bricked. That’s going to be pure hell. I am not remotely qualified to troubleshoot tech issues.

Mmmm, alfredo sauce, that’s really a good deed. It’s been much more part of my diet since the recent ulcer outbreak, likely to be appreciated. Maybe save some to take to your aunt’s to ease the frustration.

It’s 28 and I guess I should just appreciate the fact that it’s suppose to be sunny today. The rain will return on Monday though.

Latest sign that the apocalypse is upon us:
Kids these days…
GET OFF MY LAWN!
Say WHAT????
I wonder what a crusty old bastard could get there?
Morzer
@OzarkHillbilly: A crusty old bastard? Maybe you’ve just discovered how The Prophet Wilmer has managed to pay for his three Socialist mansions.
OzarkHillbilly
trump’s pardons are making capitol punishment for white collar crime look reasonable.
Morzer
@OzarkHillbilly: I suspect that these pardons are setting the scene for Trump’s attempt to pardon himself. He’s pardoning so many high-level scumbags that a treasonous, corrupt, sexually abusive president here or there will hardly be noticed.

@OzarkHillbilly: I chose wrong with Balloon Juice.

@Baud: Never say never. I am sure there’s a place on TikTok for a formation naked mopping team.

Good morning from Jo Jo and Q from beautiful Santa Fe! Winding down my stay here and on to Gallup in a few days. Jo Jo puppy woke me up with puppy kisses to tell me he had to go potty! What a pup! Have a great day, everyone!

@Baud: Chateau Cole isn’t exactly Versailles.
@?BillinGlendaleCA: I actually have a pretty good voice and scaring small children is my forte!
Morzer
@OzarkHillbilly: I have oft heard gentlemen of my acquaintance speak of the Cole establishment as the Versailles of West Virginia. Indeed, ’tis commonly known that the great Johannes himself doth walk among his wee, timorous, cowering blogserfs murmuring unto himself in pensive wise “It’s good to be the king.”

What a wonderful way to start the morning – Warren flicking Bernie out of the conversation like a stray hair hair, and Cooper curb-stomping blago!
Had an acquaintance who strenuously avoids talking politics bring up how impressive Warren’s debate performance was. She really got people’s attention. She torched Bloomberg. Can’t wait to see her napalm trump!
Melusine
@Quinerly: JoJo is a very lucky pup! Congratulations on your new furry bundle of joy! ? ? ?

@Melusine: Cooper actually did his homework on Blago. I’m impressed.

In other news, the sun generally rises in the east.

How…how did Blago get on the subject?
Everyone else’s idea of criminal justice reform is “Blago being in prison for 20 years”.
I can’t decide if he doesn’t realize that, or doesn’t care. My hunch is the latter.

The last part made me think of the 2005 classic book by Harry G. Frankfurt, “On Bullshit”.

@JPL: well, it’s 4 degrees F here at 9AM, guess I’ll put on a coat…

@Betty Cracker: Bless your heart!
My husband and I are the ones who live in proximity to both surviving elderly moms. His sister, who also lives here, has conveniently separated herself from her mother for some dumb reasons, so my hubby and I are the “go-to” people for anything and everything.
This includes errands, home repairs, shopping, doctor visits, troubleshooting the cable TV issues, and pretty much anything else on the list. I really don’t mind helping and I know we’re lucky to still have them around. We’ve had to remind them from time to time, though, that we are both still working and can’t always come running 24/7.

@OzarkHillbilly:
And these are the ones who are wildly ambitious.
I bet somewhere there is this:
Q: What do you want to do when you grow up?
A: Same thing I’m doing now. Post up videos of myself playing video games.
mrmoshpotato
Yes! Get him Anderson! I’m watching Brian Tyler Cohen’s commentary on this.

@Brachiator:
I think it goes something like this….
Q: What do you want to do when you grow up?
A. Grow up? Are you fucking crazy? Look at the grownups, be like that? Never.
Fast forward 25 yrs – Everything looks exactly the same, with different phones.

@Betty Cracker: You need help, call me. Is this a windows laptop? Buy a 32 GB thumbdrive, put windows on it, from the free W7 website, and you can restore it, if it’s torched.
