"Antiques Roadshow" trending alongside "Aaron Rogers" would have been perfect if the Steelers had had to travel to Texas for the game last night.

WARNING to any aliens resembling brown packing paper:
AVOID THIS HOUSE.
During the night here, one or more of the indoor cats had a drag-out, knock-down (okay, shredding) fight with brown paper from a Chewy box. I have found torn and tattered remains all over the place.

I entered the USMC in 1970, did infantry training at Camp Lejeune, and somehow managed to miss any references to this. I was aware that black Marines tended to keep to themselves, but I mostly kept to my own little bubble anyway, trying to reach the end of my enlistment.

Actual headline: "Johnson 'concerned' ICE shooting will hamper funding negotiations as shutdown looms."
Frankly I'm surprised Mike Johnson read, saw, or heard anything about the murder in Minneapolis with his head so far up trump's ass.

Are you feeling way beyond overwhelmed.
What is happening is happening on purpose.
The Trump regime is purposefully bombarding you everyday. For a purpose. You are living inside a perpetual threat broadcast.

Anyone who refuses to vaccinate their child against meningitis has never had a child stricken with it and given a 50-50 chance of surviving the night. In pre-vaccine days, my older son contracted it. Thankfully, he survived and recovered, but it was touch and go for 24 hours or so.

I have added Neighborhood Dead Critter Removal to my resume. A dog walker asked me yesterday if I could do something about a dead cat in front of the neighbor's house. Calls to the village to have the street crew pick it up have gone unanswered.

It's official. Our misRepresentative in Congress is a trumper, through and through. In his weekly email update, Nick Langworthless praised HOG - Herr Obese Gropenfuhrer - for his decisive move against "drug traffickers." Nick may even have typed that straight-faced.
