Not sure how much good it did. My Senator is Dr. Bill Cassidy. You know, the one that was going to keep RFK Jr. on a short leash.
Old, very old. Old enough to know that what most people romanticize was not a good time for most. If you thought the 1970's were a good time, you either were not there or you were rich.

I called my Senator about them not allowing COVID shots for anyone.
Why be limited? Besides the champagne, we could have a nice bottle of bourbon ready to crack open. And some tequila.
Definitely. They also can carry a bacteria in their urine that can cause neurological issues in horses. We had to always get them out of the barn, lest they pee on the hay bales. Definitely not fun.
Sorry, I always saw you as a devote Waffle Housist and not a Cracker Barrelist. My apologies.
The opossum: the meanest of the varmint family. Up close, you realize that they are just a row of sharp teeth. Our barn cats would take on every other creature, but leave them alone.
Agreed. I would rather go to an IHOP before Cracker Barrel. Long waits and middling food. The Waff leHouse is fine dining in comparison.
A couple of interesting things. Have we heard about taking over Canada or Greenland lately? Have we heard about reducing prices (other than drugs, which his math says will be free or better)? How long before ICE raids stop because of the damage, but we stop hearing about it?
No, this guy wants to troll. Everything about this account is fake. Look at the name of the company.
We watch each other.
As someone who was involved in the Internet in the early days, it was an instant favorite of mine. It is also a great story about grifters and how to spot them.
Agreed. They should use these in business classes.
So true. Much like a 3-year-old that wants diametrically-opposed options, they seem to not notice that you cannot have both. I want cheaper prices, healthcare, and basic services. And I want all immigrants, legal and illegal, gone. Nevermind that my doctor is from another country.
One of the greatest authors of our time. Everyone should be reading his stories, especially the Sam Vimes series. A great analogy for the melting pot we are supposed to be.
Why? The DoD just eliminated a whole host of ROTC programs at IHE's across the U.S. The reason stated was that they did not need as many people in the military.
Interesting how no one is talking about how the new numbers for the past two months mean that we are in a huge economic slump. And remember, these are the last economic numbers we can trust, as the new hiree will cheat them.
I always turn it off in Word, but every other app and webpage has it turned on.
Sorry, it was "poking at you, poking at you." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wOQ...
Damn, Paula, you are hitting it out of the park with these videos to Trump. You have always been my favorite (loved the "eating at you" bit), and these just make it easier to convince others.
The beginning is Nye.
No. I just walked 3.5 miles in the 95 F sunny afternoon. The only thing that would exhaust me is to know that there are not other people out there fighting the good fight.
Actually, I see it more like a pack that realizes that its leaders is on its last legs. Dementia, heart congestion, and Epstein. The question is who will attack first in order to gain the post-Trump advantage given that he will not be with us in a year.
Abso-fucking-lutely funny!! Kudos!
Two things: a) Yes, your 15 y.o. is correct and smarter than most, and b) You have a 15 y.o.???
Can you get this NPR? I do not have a device to listen to it when I am in the shop, but I have radio. Maybe my local station could just purchase the rights from you to air it. Is that possible?
Correction: In today's climate, comedians seem to be the only warriors, as all CEO's are running or bending a knee.
I do not disagree. It is the reason why we do not want to invest in education. Educated people might vote against this.
Do you know what is worse than watching this? Realizing that you are one block away from being able to vote against him in the midterms. One block!! I will have to consider buying a house on the other side of the line so I can vote against him.
Hate to lose Star Trek, but will come back to it when the world is in a safer place.
I am hoping that someone from my station will ever make the Sunday Puzzle. I am busy working on a palindrome that involves the letter Q. This is not easy.

Agreed. I have to wonder if they will get rid of the "Kiss Cam" after this. Maybe they can start a "Conscious Uncoupling Cam".
Great episode. It always is when you and Bobcat are on.
What is more embarrassing: 1) being caught on camera having an affair or 2) being caught on camera at a Coldplay concert?
Great post!!! Bravo! Let's make this a reality.
My local station has a total of 3 employees and does a great job of covering local politics and events. We already lost our local newspaper: we cannot lose this. www.kedm.org
I increased my contribution to my local station by 25% in response.
To be fair, 1) that was 9 years ago, 2) we already knew he was not healthy, and 3) the lies told since then far outstrip this whopper from Back-Alley Doctor.
Worst AI hallucination at the conference was provided by Trump. An imaginary conversation with his uncle about a person his uncle never taught who did not become famous until 11 years after his uncle died. Why is the media not focusing on this dementia instead of Epstein?
I will listen while I can. The cuts to CPB means that my local rural station has a $150K deficit (total of 3 employees doing everything). I increased my contributions, but not enough to cover the shortfall. Any billionaires want to help out?
Got one brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. When it does, idiots will not go to safety, as they are only worried about the Gulf of America.
Dear Mr. Takei, please allow me to say something that I rarely say: Fuck them! Your story is an inspirational one about what makes America great. That even though the government has been horrible to certain sectors of people, they continue to contribute and stay steadfast in keeping us who we are.
You have to be immuno-compromised to get the shot, according the local pharmacies. I have made appointments, but they will not give me one. You are now only allowed 1/year even though the data shows that efficacy wanes starting 4 months after the shot.
How about "Boycott Etsy." In much the same way that I say "Boycott CBS" after their horrendous capitulation. Sorry, Stephen Colbert. You now work for the enemy of the people and not just a corporation.
Except you cannot get vaccinated because of RFK Jr. They will not allow you to get a shot if you had one in the past year.
Did you get the e-mail from the SSA? Telling me what a great thing the spending bill was because it would not tax my Social Security. I will never see Social Security payments. Good to know that they will not be taxed.
Okay, they can call it that, although the correct name is "A Pile of Shit That Will Wreck America."
It always increases under them. Odd.
It has been 41 years, but this is my second favorite Austin City Limits episode. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2sm...
Charlie Kirk is a moron who defames the surname Kirk. William Shatner should be livid reading what this idiot says.
By the way, heard the "Wait, Wait..." episode today. As always, any episode with you is good. Sorry you did not win the competition, but you won the humor.
Since our last dog passed away in December, I have had to go back to sweeping the kitchen floor.
Definitely report Elon. And Melania.
I hope that he is well received. Shreveport will likely come out to hear him; Bossier City will not. Bossier has always had a bit of the fascist streak in it even back to the 70's.
Perkins was always the go-to place for a late night meal after going out drinking. Agree about the pancakes.
Here is something I found out yesterday: you cannot get a COVID vaccine shot but once a year unless you are immunocompromised or in another group that is seen as high risk. We know that the immunity wanes after 4 months, but the CDC no longer recommends a shot but once a year. Great.
This is because he is "Two Weeks In The Future Man". It is his superpower that seems to have worked, as this is the first time that I have ever seen anyone call him on it.
If this is true, they should be put in the worst penal colony immediately.
LOL, which for me is on the highest level, as I never laugh. When are back on Wait, Wait? Every episode without you is just less, even when they have a premiere line-up.
I know how you feel. My coffee bushes/trees are blooming. The smell is incredible. Maybe I will get coffee beans this year.
Well, today was Juneteenth in the U.S., which meant a bunch of people were off. Tomorrow will have low volumes of workers, as some will take a 4-day holiday.
Oddly enough, I graduated from a Texas high school back in the early 80's. We knew about Juneteenth, as Texas used to despise its association with the Confederacy. Now, Texans seem to take pleasure in reminding us that they were the losers in the Civil War.
No, she does not. Why does everyone give Melania a pass, when she is as bad a grifter as her "husband". Tell it like it is: she is not a good person.
Now, I am hungry. I have not had any good jambalaya in years that I have not made. It would be nice to get some from an outside source every now and then.
The correct way to deal with fascists.
Walking early this morning when 5 bros came walking up the street talking at the top of their lungs. One stated that Fauci killed millions in Africa with AZT in the 80's. Apparently, morons are watching more MAGA propaganda.
A great story about how AI is not the best idea in the K-12 classroom: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKUv...
Thanks for sharing. I had never heard that version.
One problem in America is that most equate wealth with smarts. They do not understand that wealth is more equated to generational wealth and privilege coupled with being a heartless bastard. I know a lot of smart people who would never stick the knife in; hence, they are not uber-rich.
Good one.
Remember: The Citadel is a toy soldier academy. Most do not go into the military: they just want the senior ring that says The Citadel so that they can be important in S.C. Cosplaying soldier defines Nancy Mace.
The flag says not to tread on ME. It is perfectly fine to tread on others.
Who does not? I even planted a tree plant in my backyard to see if I can grow it. After 3 years, it is only 50 cm high.
If I were retired, I would find everyone one of these checkpoints and do what he is doing.
The Heard Islands have. Also, Rohan and Narnia.
Well, that cuts off an investment strategy on Wall Street. They will have to figure out another way to make money from Trump. It might take them a whole minute to do this.
Yes, but it requires ready access to things like liquid nitrogen or liquid helium.
Hey, it is not avocado green! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeoJ...
It was the hair and fake tan.
Yes, you will. My wife still questions this, even though our daughter is 34. Unfortunately, our daughter has my sense of humor, political view, and religious agnosticism. This drives my wife insane.
A good monologue from an old movie that aptly states how we are living in the wrong timeline. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0bT...
What the hell is the dark brown blob in the upper left?
Gestures and words, mostly of the 4- and 8-letter variety. There has been an occasional 12-letter one.
I love this. www.youtube.com/shorts/xGgeU...
I think you mean, "He premembered it.", since he saw into the future. BTW, who came up with this word? I saw it in a Pratchett novel, but it might have come from somewhere else.
Have you ever tried a Dyson stick vacuum? I have one for the house, but you can remove the long stick and use it as a car vacuum. It does a great job, especially considering that it has a tiny beater bar.
What about the cover-up in which no one questions the mental acuity of a President that thinks Congo is South Africa?
Sorry, but this is wrong. We are in the Pakled circle.
Maybe they should start with "My Pet Goat." George Bush says it is worth a read.
Wow, how odd. He is on a golf course on a Friday?
I so wish that the President of South Africa had reamed him on camera about this. That would have been epic. However, President Ramaphosa has grace and manners, unfortunately, unlike Trump.
This guy is right about rock. This is why "Kid Rock" should be sued, as his name is a blatant lie.
We are defined in life as much by those who hate us as those who love us. -Me (I think, as I have never seen this variation of the quote, but I am willing to make the correct attribution if someone can point me in the right direction)
Agreed. I lost all respect for Tapper on this one.
Damn! That is good.
This is Bill Maher's buddy. What do you expect?
I have a lot of respect for him after that.
Ron, come on! DJTJ is a moron, and everyone knows it. Never shoot fish in a barrel: just let the fish alone in the barrel and let it believe it is king of the world as it dies a slow death.
I once went to a Bruce concert in the 80's. That man was working way too hard. Three solid hours.
Okay, that is funny.
