Bluntness

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

GOP fools, past and present.

The temp was 76 (F) when I got up this morning.  This does not mean today is going to be super-hot.  Our afternoon temps are predicted to be in the low 90s (F), with a possible high of around 94 (F).  This is, for us, a normal summer.  The week rains we were getting stopped about a week ago.  This is the standard precipitation pattern we go through:  July and August will be fairly dry, except for the occasional thunderstorm.  All of the high heat and humidity are to our south.

I made lasagna yesterday.  A good thing that's not so good if you're trying to eat healthy.  I work today, so I wanted to take something for lunch.  This does not mean I've chosen to stop eating healthily.  I'm adding more nuts back into my diet.  A note for those who eat nuts:  when you see the calorie count, say 190 calories per serving on the package, understand that is not correct.  Nuts are harder to digest than fruit, or... say lasagna, so they burn more calories.  Also, the fat content in nuts is much better for you than the fat count in, oh, say.... lasagna, which is extremely bad for you.

For those of you who don't know, the two candidates vying to replace Pat Toomey (R) in the Senate are Dr. Oz, from New Jersey, and John Fetterman from PA.  Fetterman is up in the polls because... well, he's running against Dr. Oz.  While big John's ads are snarky, here's a look at one which will shortly playing across the airwaves in PA from Meidas Touch.  Sit back, grab your popcorn, and enjoy.



And Steve Bannon's defense team gets to admit they have no defense in court today.  This short, fat man is going to lose.  He will spend some time in jail.  He is a relatively unimportant fool who is desperately trying to prove his relevance and failing terribly.  We need to feel very sorry for his fellow inmates because there is no way in hell he's going to shut up.

Finally, we have another Jan 6 hearing this evening.  Prime Time.  At 8PM eastern.  I understand that there are going to be a number of high points, one of which will be a comparison of GOP Congressman cowering and trying to hide on January 6 and the statements they made shortly thereafter, with later comments in which they called the insurrectionists tourists, etc.  These men are going to look like total fools.  They are going to be laughed at, the way so many are laughing at the stupidity of Steve Bannon.

  1. I really hope Bannon *barf* gets some time in jail. Really hope that happens. It'll send a message to Cheeto's minions and they'll be shaking in their nazi regalia. Oz is a hack from the school of Cheeto. A con man through and through. I hope he gets smashed.
    And I'll be watching the hearings. If only to give them more eyes watching. I love that the hearings have become must-see tv.

    XOO

    1. The best punishment for Bannon is to take away his microphone for a long time. And yes, isn't it a joy that these hearings are now 'must see,' not at all what the Republicans had hoped for.

  3. I don't know anything about Dr. Oz' politics but he always came across as smarmy to me. But that ad is sheer genius, either way!

    1. You're so right there. I guess no one on the Republican party has ever seen The Wizard of Oz.

  4. It's going to be so sweet, watching Bannon being walked away in handcuffs. Let us hope and pray that scores of Trump's inner circle (followed by Trump himself) follow in his footsteps!

    1. As I've said before, he will run to Russia before he gets within 5 miles of a jail.

  6. Thank you for the Oz ad. So wonderful. I am going to have to look up Texas Paul on YouTube. I was watching some of the hearings at the gym tonight. Lots of good stuff for the good guys. Enjoy that lasagne. Sounds yummy.
