Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Elections aren’t won by handwringing, cowering, and/or bashing your own candidates.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

The lights are all blinking red.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Washington Post’s Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

This country desperately needs a functioning Fourth Estate.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans in disarray!

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

We won’t go back.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Open Thread: Bixby's Ducklings

Bixby was a good boy tonight and calmly hung out with the ducklings. He was quiet enough that the ducklings decided it was okay to investigate him. He was a happy boy. He was not as happy when Gabe joined the party.

I’m off to put the big ducks to bed. We are expecting anywhere from 8 inches to 3 feet of snow this weekend, LOL. I figure by Friday they’ll let us know for sure. Meanwhile, I’m prepping the big ducks for the worst – it’ll be warm enough for them to stay in their coop, but I suspect I’ll be doing a lot of proactive shoveling to their coop and around it if we get the big numbers.

Looks like we could use an open thread.

    I have no ducks and no snow either.  I did have a raccoon in the front yard a bit ago, and it rained today!

    Away from the computing machine for most of the afternoon. only now saw folks asking about my well being.

    Fine. Safe.

    Dry? Not so much (outside). Still rains blowing in. Depending on where one is on the island, there’s been between 8 and 16 inches already come down since Monday. Forecasts are for on and off, albeit lessening, rains straight through this coming Monday.

    Love your new ducks TaMara, so cute.

    It is interesting reading about your experiences with the Covid-19 vaccines. We here in Aus have managed to get about 60000 in arms so far, with goal of vaccinating all adults (& possibly children) by the end of October. This equates to 200000/day. Ain’t going to happen. But as we have no community transmission, end of the year should do.
    I have just crept ever so much closer to 60 today. With this and comorbidities I will qualify in group 1b. At least a month away I think.

    Am very impressed with your new executive and senate (the house has been great for 2+ years) and hope, as you all do that the filibuster can be destroyed or toyed with.

    Everything that happens in the US either effects us all or we follow in lock step. Thank all that is secular that the planets greatest menace is out of power. Please may the lessor bastard-idiots be soon to follow.

    Firs thing I saw on breakfast news this morning was someone praising Rupert Murdoch. Just for a second I thought YES, he’s gone. But no just his 90th birthday. What a bugger to share with that soulless gouhl.

    best to all the jackals.

    FYI, more local weather related stuff.

    Federal officials have approved Hawaii Gov. David Ige’s request to declare a disaster for Maui County amid drought conditions that have persisted for two years.

    State officials announced this week that U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack approved the request for a secretarial agricultural disaster declaration, the Maui News reported Wednesday.

    Even as parts of the county experience heavy rain and flooding this week, other parts remain in some of the worst possible drought conditions. Maui County includes the islands of Maui, Lanai and Molokai. Source

    Finally got a bit of real rain here today. The last big storm broke up somewhere in Irvine. Pieces passed north and south of here and we got nada.

    Well, I’m all set for spring forward anyway. My internal clock has woken me up at 4am every morning this week. Next week I’ll probably still be dead asleep until 6 ?

    Cute overload! You could do a children’s book with these pictures. I’d buy it, and I have no children.
