    Dear Washington Post, This Is How It’s Done

    October 26, 2024 - By ginny

    Earlier today, the Washington Post declined to endorse a candidate in the US Presidential Election. Reportedly, an opinion endorsing VP Kamala Harris had been written but was killed by either the current CEO, or owner-oligarch Jeff Bezos. Many people have canceled their WaPo subscriptions; I just can’t in an election year. So instead, here’s an endorsement from UK liberal bastion paper, The Guardian. Which I read for free, but I may subscribe. God knows I read them constantly. Editorial: The decision of American voters will be profoundly consequential for everyone. A Harris victory would offer some hope…   Link: The…

    Pleasant Surprise: Visiting MTG’s District

    October 24, 2024 - By ginny

    There are nice, thoughtful, diverse people who live in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district. A brown-skinned immigrant with a foreign accent talked to them about everything except politics and was rewarded with interesting conversations. He was initially apprehensive, but found only friendly locals. It sounds like someone needs to give them an alternative to MTG in two years.  Gift Link: Washington Post “Brown Immigrant Visits MTG’s District”

    Unleash The Crackin’ Up: Driftglass and Bluegal Go Hard On Johnson Jokes

    October 23, 2024 - By ginny

    Funny how Republicans loved the “p” word when it was about Bill Clinton. Driftglass’s ‘five minutes on David Brooks’ is back. Tick tock! And we’re not exactly accepting the Cheneys and The Bulwark into our tent.   Link: Ep 848: Yeah We’re Never Mixing Tea With Lemonade Ever Again — The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal

    ‘He’ll say anything before an election’: Ex-senator blasts Trump after bombshell report

    October 22, 2024 - By ginny

    Claire McCaskill absolutely furious over yet another shocking revelation of Trump’s abyssal garbage pit where character should be. “When he promised a family he would take care of their funeral expenses, that was before the election,” said McCaskill. “That was in April of 2020. When he said, ‘I’m not going to pay to bury the f-ing Mexican,’ that was after he had lost in December.” She told viewers “to remember, he’ll say anything before an election, but his true character comes out after the election.” Link: ‘He’ll say anything before an election’: Ex-senator blasts Trump after bombshell report

    “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. —J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Fellowship Of The Ring” https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34.The_Fellowship_of_the_Ring

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.
