Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Beyond the Blue Dwarf

My shoulder's a little sore from my shot and I was tired, but otherwise there have been no side effects.  I did take a picture of my vaccination card to post, but then I read that doing so is a bad idea, you're giving the world too much information and identity thieves just love that.

The last of my fire guramis died.  The rest of the fist in the tank are fine, it's just the guramis I've had problems with.  Out of the 6 I initially purchased, only 1 is still living, the blue dwarf.  Oh, wait, that almost sounds like a code name, doesn't it or something from a sci-fi fantasy.  "Seek out the Blue Dwarf, he has the answers..."  Being the curious sort, I Googled it and discovered there are quite a few images for blue dwarf, including this... a penny dreadful.  The curious mind is a great thing!


I saw where Amy Coma Burnett authored the decision last week saying California churches could open in spite of the the Covid Pandemic.  I thought it was a terrible mistake, but evidently some of the Cracker Jack Crazies are upset because they feel she didn't go far enough.  I suspect they will find out Amy's more concerned about her reputation as an individual conservative voice then about being their puppet.

Of course, Conservatives in general do not understand that January 6 has changed everything.  Some do.  Lis Cheney does. She is all too well aware that the events of that day are going to haunt them for years.  So many of them are closing their eyes and stoppering their ears to the fact that major investigations are going on, investigations which are going to have serious repercussions.  But then they deserve it, don't they?

As evidence, look at what the Hachette Book Group has done: fired their Editorial Director.  If you had a wacko cracko conservative book you wanted published, like Donnie Jr, and everybody was rejecting you, Hachette was the place to go.  Not any more.  They are no longer publishing books with hate speech.  Now tell me, how many conservatives can even survive without hate speech.  Their writing has become less insightful and more inciteful.  Where's a hater going to go to get their anger published?  Well, definitely not Hachette.

  1. Oh no! The fishes have died? They are finicky creatures. They're either indestructible or die by the dozen.
    I'm glad you got the vaccine! woot woot. I have no idea when I'll get mine.
    Liz Cheney did the minimum and still looks heroic. That tells you all you need about the Repugs. And I was not surprised by that zealot's rule in SCOTUS. She was put there to do that. And part of me wants all those bigots to die of covid, but then I think about the thousands they'd kill and I get mad. Stupid superstitious idiots.

    XOXO

    1. Just most of the guramis, all the other fish are thriving.

  2. Well, this may not be politically correct, but if people wanna flood to their churches in large maskless non-social distancing numbers, I say go ahead.
    It's another way of thinning the herd of the sheep who ignore science.
    As for Liz Cheney; I loathe her. But she has more backbone than all of her party combined.

  4. Maybe Donny Jr. could self-publish. God knows the RNP will most likely buy 300,000 copies anyway right?

    1. I to believe the RNC bought most of the copies of his last book to stay in good graces with his old man.

  6. My Dad bred Tropical Fish for Years and had good luck with Gouramis, they are an interesting Fish, especially how they breed and Care for their Young. He always kept a small School of them, since I think they prefer to live in Groups. The Dwarf Gourami are probably the hardiest and easiest to Care for. I just keep Platy and Mollies since they're easy beginner Fish and they were SUPPOSED to belong to my Grandkids... when the oldest one grew up and moved out he left them to his younger Sister, she wasn't that into them and so now guess whose they are... sitting right here beside me as I Blog! *LOL*
