Wow, no posts up after the Ukraine thread.
Looks like we could use an open thread.
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
Republicans in disarray!
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.
Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.
… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact
The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.
Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.
I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.
Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.
There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.
Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.
We still have time to mess this up!
Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.
I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.
It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
Good lord, these people are nuts.
Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.
I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.
The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Stray brain cell coughed up the theme from a (mercifully) short-lived George Dzundza sitcom.

More than half of the world’s lakes have shrunk in past 30 years, study finds
eta: I should point out that human consumption has also had an impact on lakes tho the majority is still on climate change
Global heating has likely made El Niños and La Niñas more ‘frequent and extreme’, new study shows
But Inhofe threw a snowball in the Senate once, proving it’s all a hoax.

@OzarkHillbilly
You know what you did.

(Sleep has become far more a suggestion than a rule for this guy.)

@eclare: Sorry.
Same here.

Now there’s something you don’t see every day.
William Conrad (!) cutting a mean rug (26:49 to 27:46). :)

@OzarkHillbilly:
We just need to send all that bad air back to Gyna, where it came from.

@NotMax:
Dunno who that is, but it’s not William Conrad.
. . . Okay, I looked. According to IMDB, it’s J. Scott Smart.
Julie London looks nice.

I had yet another spinal injection yesterday and, like clockwork, I couldn’t sleep but three hours. This one was an S2 shot and seems like the last hope of an injection helping. We’ll see.

@raven:
Fingers crossed it works for you!

@raven:
1) Ouch!
2) Work you fucker!
3) Still ouch!

@Tony Jay: It wasn’t all that bad but it was the most painful so far. My old ass has taken quite a few beatings so I just hang on to the idea that the pain is usually fleeting.
@eclare: tanks!

@raven: Uck.

Did I miss a discussion of Donna Deegan upsetting the Republican dude for mayor of Jacksonville is the Effed Up State of DeSantis?

@Paul in Jacksonville: I just read the Politico article. That will be the State of DeSanti I believe. That Casey is quite the girl.

@raven:
You old tough guy, you. It’s always the last one that works, movies and kid’s cartoons don’t lie.
Oh, now, that’s an image I’ll take to my grave. 8-)

Silly me. Had recently watched two different old movies revolving around avaoirdupois-friendly men and conflated the actors. Thanks for the correction.
