have a hunch that gas station is fueling (if not in fact the creator of) the Q-crazies.
the way the goal posts keep moving from one threat date to the next is diabolically disrupting normal functions of our democracy. takes deep pockets to keep the game going and sure sign the puppeteer is still pulling the strings of radical right .
a variation of mccain’s great quote:
texas is just a gas station masquerading as a state
more on the Q-crazies
NYT best of late night:
Bink, bridge pickup, volume and tone turned to 10, drive channel on amp, volume to 11. Rock on dude.
So Ron Johnson being too cute by half. Stupid shit is going to object to waiving reading of Recovery Act which will force reading of the 700 page bill, delaying the vote by 10 hours. I hope there is a Senate rule that requires anyone who forces reading the bill to sit at his desk in the Senate during the entire reading. Better yet, there should be a rule forcing the senator who objects to do the reading.
the bink guitarist in question might be worried (needlessly) about his tone settings, but if he can’t reset his gain position then he’s a nitwit. The Amp is another question…..don’t go fiddling with the Amp settings.
If you haven’t as yet read it, Rachel Maddow’s book Blowout is an excellent description of the destruction of democracies and crippling of societies by the oil producers.
Gas station that sells gum, cigarettes and dirty secrets about American politicians at the checkout counter.
pogo, that new senate rule you proposed not only should make the objecting sen. read the bill standing up the whole 10 hrs but also that he can’t take a potty break or use his sippy cup for replenishment during the ordeal and all other senators must stay in their seats without benefit of smart phones, game toys and other goodies.
If we wind up with some chump as NY governor who pardons the orange dickhead, y’all can have it, I’ll be moving to Norway instead of the Catskills. Talk about last straws.
Sturge, damn skippy. Beware the Law of Unintended Consequences.
sturge, for all of us who miss al franken, he still has it. clip from an interview posted on youtube last week loved his story about amy’s joke at the gridiron (starts at 48 seconds in)
A clip from an hour long talk (also in our YouTube channel) from 2017 with. former Sen. Al Franken with Chelsea Handler at Live Talks LA. In this clip, Sen. Al Franken talks about Sen. Ted Cruz.
oops, guess that was an old clip. still funny though.
Jamie… I bought Blowout last year… put it on my “to read” pile. For some reason… I took it out of the pile and put it on my coffee table last week. That means it will finally get read soon.

It’s nice to know I’m not alone with a “mean to read it” pile. My kindle library in waiting is a marvelous salute to procrastination.
NY Lt. Gov is a Democrat
Anyone know what time the inauguration is?
You can tell the military is not going to be waiting three hours for anything today. There is a lot of helicopter and other aircraft activity today. I am happy I do not have to go downtown for anything today.
Vive le 4 Mars.
NBC drew the smallest audience in the entire history of the Golden Globes, losing 64% of its audience from 2020. And the other shows are noticing. Will The Golden Globes Ratings Disaster Spell An End To Hollywood’s Self-Congratulation Industry?

Aren’t we really close to proving Trump ordered that National Guard not defend Capitol on 1/6?
…the allure of the Golden Globes was watching celebrities get sloshed on camera, i thought.
Plus, there’s a billion shows and movies, now. How could anyone credibly rank them?
“National Guard troops defending Capitol reportedly sick after eating raw meat” This on the fase of it is horrible. But because today is 3/4, the latest Q magical date, could something be behind it?

Craig, so far 1/6 seems to be a headless beast.
No more awards shows would be fine with me. I like some of the musical performances, but that’s about all they offer.
Will Dominion sue Pence now that he lied about the election in print?
So far this year, my two favorite films seen are
Nomadland which stands a good chance of taking Best Picture
One Night in Miami which may pull a Supporting Actor
Anyone else have any recommendations.
Two more good ones not quite as highly rated
Ma Rainy’s Black Bottom (probable Best Actress)
Mank (excellent look at the time period, Hearst, Marion Davies and the writing of Citizen Kane)
I don’t really care about the award shows. When an actor or actress finds the cure for cancer… let me know.
the only “current” film I’ve seen is the new Borat movie… it was funny as hell!
MSNBC is really giving Cuomo the Franken tar and feather treatment. You would think their competitor was CNN or something.

“When an actor or actress finds the cure for cancer”
Not a cure yet, but decades long support by Fay Duncan taken up by her daughter and son in law Deb Furness & Hugh Jackman. They also have active charities for Hopeland to back adoption, an Arts foundation, a non profit coffee to support indigenous growers and support for Global Citizen among just a few. They are over the top active, but many entertainers think it is their duty to share their success.
Today is World Book Day so here is a list for additions to that “read someday” pile waiting for your attention.
The 100 Greatest Novels
Well……yup……..there will be an election for ny governor soon cuomo come or go; so what the hell. It’s up for grabs any way you twissum.
So, what’s the next date on the q-razies’ event calendar?
The electricity bill was only up $20, but they did say they’d stick it to us later in the year.
The Lt. Gov. is the woman who headed up Cuomo’s anti-sexual harassment initiative. Enough is Enough.

What bothers me about the three accusers against Cuomo is that so far they have protested:
1 touch on a bare back of a fully clothed woman in a dress and a touch on a cheek
1 unwanted kiss
and a conversation about whether one was interested in an “older man” that made her uncomfortable
No one lost their job. No one was forced into a sexual act. There was no exposure. So no he isn’t some innocent, but hardly the stuff of outrageous Weinstein level scandal.
Yes, it stinks. Something is afoot. (Enough is Enough was the name of Cuomo’s initiative against harassment.)
Why now?

Cuomo has been like this with women for 40 years everybody knew ‘Randy Andy’ why did these woman all show up the same week? Sounds like a GOP Al Franken dirty trick to me to get rid of him and put GOP in to pardon Trump on state charges which they can’t. This smells
