Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

“But what about the lurkers?”

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

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

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

    And yet no news from about Casa de Cole. :(

    Anyway, back to sleep.

    Evenin’, folks. Hanging out at the VA hospital in Minneapolis tonight, starting the recovery from my total left knee replacement surgery about 7 hours ago. Although I am old (68), this was my first surgery evah, which made an already bfd even bigger. Now comes the hard part …

    I am awake, but shouldn’t be. BP is surprisingly good, oxygen sat not so good so breathing a tad of oxygen. Block is wearing off and pain is on its way. 1 oxy on board, another muscle relaxant to come. Got up to pee 2x – need the walker but am (reluctantly) weight bearing on the new knee. Quad is firing just fine! PT starts tomorrow.

    Did I mention I’m at a VA hospital? My care has been incredible, pre- and now post-surgery. Very grateful and glad I served oh-so-long ago.

    Friday Thanksgiving dinner was a success! The sauerbraten came out fine, though not as tender as I’d hoped, possibly due to being reheated.

    Then we watched the first three epusodes of The Fall of the House of Usher. It’s very good, both in its framing (each murder is based on, or reminiscent of, an Edgar Allen Poe story) and in its writing/acting/cinematography.  Plus, the murder victims all richly deserve what they get.

    It’s on Netflix, if anyone is interested.

    yes, he was stabbed here at the Federal Prison in Tucson, but I have an alibi, so we’re all good.

    @Miki:

    best of luck with your rehab.

    I always like hearing that knee replacement goes more or less smoothly, since there’s probably one in my future (been without medial meniscus in my right knee since 1980).

    NotMax@24: Well all right! I just wanted to do some justice to Jo Stafford since I’ve posted a couple of Darlene Edwards numbers, and saw that one.

    @Miki: I have had both knees replaced; you are about to get your life back from being limited in activity and in pain all the time, but first you have to get through the recovery.  The first week is bad, so that is the hard truth but then you can tell you are getting better.  The most important thing is to hit the PT hard and never slack off unless they tell you that you’re doing too much.  The second is to not try to be a hero and go off the narcotics too soon, and always keep a senna based stool softener on board while you are on them.

    It is a long road to full, pain free recovery, but I am so grateful to have had my knees replaced.  I’m skiing better now than I have in 20 years, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing again and doing yard work is easy now because I no longer hurt all the time!  Hang in there, and please report back during your recovery.

    @StringOnAStick: Thanks for the good thoughts. I’ve been a fan of PT for my arthritic back for years. It was tough at first and took literally months to work well but I learned patience and commitment are key and I’ve stuck with it. That’s the plan for my knee, too, although I anticipate it will be more painful at first.

    Miralax is on board and I’m farting, softly and sweetly.

    @Miki:

    I use the VA here in SoCal and find that the hospital, the clinics and the docs are very good, as are the rest of the employees. I have, years ago had a couple of jackasses at some of the clinic locations but those are contract folks that come in for 3-4 hrs one day a week. A number of years ago one contract doc at a clinic I walked out on as he was yelling at me, and I told him very explicitly and loudly to F off. But he was and is by far the exception. The care is very good and the range of issues that they see often is far different than most any civilian doctor/hospital.
