Every time I navigate to this website, it makes me happy when I see “Claire is Home” off to the right.
That is all.
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Yes we did.
The house always wins.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Shocking, but not surprising
Good luck with your asparagus.
When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.
It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.
If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Well said, JGC.

I would say “second!” but I’m afraid of the Wrath of Cole. Besides, by now I’m probably fourth! or fifth!

@westyny: No, you got the coveted second spot.

Ditto.

I’ve had the same reaction, John. It continues to be an excellent thing.

A very excellent thing, and I hope David continues to update us on how Claire is doing. (Hint, hint.)

Just wondering if there is any way to get rid of zergnet? It really is annoying!

By letting some people make some good shit happen here, you make lots of good shit happen. I’m pretty sure that’s not a bad thing.

@CaseyL: So far so good.

2. If you click on any post title, you can navigate by the upper right hand arrows post-by-post instead of having everything on one long page, and no ZERGTrash.
Using Firefox here, btw.

On other topics: Did anyone listen to the Garland hearing? I caught some of it, but not all, and generally ignored GQP questions since they’re all morally and intellectually bankrupt. Did anyone signal whether they would vote against confirmation?

Woot!
Think last week’s weather must have borked vaccine shipments because our county has no, zero, nada appointments for priority groups. Hope they double-up this week, and the planes keep their engines on the wings.

Open thread, so— we now present the pink trombone.

@trollhattan: I was worried – shipments would be routed through Memphis and I already had a package stuck there for over a week. I guess her vaccine got in under the wire…

“Bullet ants” heh! Pair them with murder hornets. One cannot be too proactive!

I so enjoy ordering groceries online for curbside pickup! As soon as you click to complete your order, you get an email with the subject line, “Groceries ordered! How easy was that?!”

@SiubhanDuinne: yeah now can a certain blogfather call his fuckstick Senator and tell him to stop preventing women from serving in Biden’s cabinet? My patience with Manchin has really run low and I’m ready to fly to WV and find a young smart person to primary him…
Ken
@Ben Cisco: @trollhattan: Why not cut out the middleman, and use bullet ants and murder hornets directly?

I could have has a vax appt for Saturday and had to turn it down because we were snowbound, they called again today and set us up for Wednesday, noon. No idea what brand we will get.

I love Merrick Garland and Alexander Vindman.

@jeffreyw: Did you register with the VA for it?

Oops, will move up one post.

Something that cheered me up enormously was that the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle had clues for Jen Psaki and Lloyd Austin.

@Ken: I find your proposal acceptable.

@Ksmiami:
Mine too, but in WV, it’s either Manchin or a party-line Republican. And frankly, I don’t think even Manchin wins next time. In the meantime, a 50-50 Senate is way better than one where they’ve got 51.
We simply have to pick up some Senate seats in 2022, that’s all there is to it, so that not every last thing is dependent on Manchin’s and Sinema’s whims.

@zhena gogolia: Further verification of my theory that the world is run by a secret cabal of cruciverbalists, who bring certain people, companies, products, etc. to prominence so they can use their names when creating the puzzles.

@raven:
No, with the county health dept. They tell me we need to bring in photo ID to show we are over 65.

@jeffreyw:
Pfizer and Moderna are so close in efficiency that it really shouldn’t matter.
Word is that Moderna is first shot annoying and from personal experience Pfizer is annoying on the second. Seemingly annoying for a day or two and then back to normal.

I must admit that his questioning of all the PoC women is annoying and unhelpful. There is nothing wrong with Deb for Interior. I have no idea what his problem is. Also punishing someone for mean tweets is a dumb take.
I dont’ know whta game he is playing with his constituents or what he is seeing internally to act like this.. but he’s going to get more shrill as more EOs start coming out of the White House.

@MomSense: But seven is the one who goes to heaven!
Ben Cisco (onboard the Defiant)
@cain: What he NEEDS to do is get his ass in gear. Just the POCs he has a problem with? 🤬
I do agree though, best we can do is get enough people on board that Manchin and Sinema don’t matter.
Raven
@jeffreyw: yea I had to do that here. I registered with the VA and they sent me a text offering it at the local clinic.
J R in WV
@trollhattan:
Aww! That’s so cool…!! Glad for her.
Always good to excel at something you love…

@Raven:
That’s where we got ours, local Primary Care Clinic for our tiny rural county. The county seat was completely shut down Friday as we drove across town to the clinic, power was out for the vast majority of the county that day, Friday.
When we got home around 6 in the evening it was getting dark, and we could see a light inside the house. When I opened the car door, no noise from the generator, blissful silence!
