Why we can’t have nice things: And when the adults have to take precautions with children acting like little whiny assholes — via Salon this evening: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is requiring that all members in the House of Representatives continue wearing masks, despite new guidance from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that…
Finally, the time has come — if you’ve been fully vaccinated for COVID-19 the CDC announced today you don’t have to wear a mask, or even social distance yourself if you’re indoors, a heart-felt move toward more-fully opening society. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said at a briefing this afternoon: ‘“We have all longed for this…
Beyond the Liz Cheney vs The Big Lie clusterf*ck yesterday, there was another GQP-induced fiction-drama played-out at the House Oversight and Reform hearing on the Jan.6 insurrection/riot at the US Capitol building — Republicans lied like laughing assholes, painting the event as nothing more than a walk in the park, apparently exhorting Americans to forget…

As time goes on, we’ll discover the T-Rump’s period in the Oval Office was way-worse then we even supposed, which was shitty beyond shitty, and we knew he hated climate change like he hated taking a bath.

That averages out to…
Another break in the tedious horror of the nowadays with a view of my personal list of great TV shows to binge, not only once but dozens of times — I watch TV to kick-back and relax, all with at least a sprinkle of humor. As you will see, most of these shows are comedies,…
Topsy-turvey life this Saturday afternoon as we face problems from various fronts, including directly overhead.
