Today (Saturday) is National Earmuff Day.
How Biden plans to sell skeptical rural Americans on the COVID vaccine
How about a simple rule that says no subsidies without vaccination?
That's reasonable. When anti-vaxxers spout their mantra, "Gimme free stuff, and do it on my terms," the non-sociopaths are perfectly justified in responding, "No."
Trump killed cops to keep an office that wasn't his'n.
Some day soon this goon will go to prison!
Burma Shave.
What's that stink in the air this morning? OMG – Is Trump back?!?
No, it's just the Greeley stockyards.
Uh oh…..
Perfect.
Raise your hand if you have no idea why V. ended his epic poem with "Burma Shave."
Oh, you need a history lesson in Americana that kids growing up in the '50's know pretty well π
You're kidding, right, Realist? I thought that was basic American cultural literacy, and I'm way too young to actually remember them
Everything I really ever needed to know I learned from watching Looney Tunes cartoons . . .
Who knew they were preparing us for this very moment in time????
Yes, Cook, I was kidding – but only some of us are old enough to remember seeing many Burma Shave signs on car trips.
A tip of the hat to some of Colorado's talented inhabitants (and their co-workers in other states): SNOW DOGS!
WAPO ($$) article: For these dogs, the deadly serious business of avalanche rescue is all a game
There also was a brief notice of Colorado bi-partisanship: in an article on local reactions to the ARP, Dan Balz notes various needs announced by mayors of all parties — and mentions Mayors Hancock and Coffman co-writing an op ed for the Denver Post.
Is anyone actually seeing/feeling snow?
Lakewood- dusting last night-
thatβ-s all so far.Update: Right at noon, snow started falling heavily.
I live in western Garfield county. I saw on fb this morning the Colorado Monument above GJ to the west got dumped on.
We haven't seen a flake or a drop so far.Sunny…61 degrees.
Today (Sunday) is National Potato Chip Day.
The perfect food to binge on while watching the blizzard and finding all the clocks that need to be changed this morning #dstsucks
Trying to synchronize the clock in the above-stove microwave with the clock in the stove is the twice-yearly pain
Still, try to look on the bright side . . .
. . . 4:20 comes an hour sooner today!
Progressive vocabulary needs to modernize and motivate or Frank Luntz will continue to eat our lunch.
This Week (ABC) this morning. Speaker Pelosi (who should leave gracefully before Christmas) could not say the word taxes. George tried – but she would not, could not say the word. Until you can say the word taxes you cannot really have a useful conversation about how to legislate and govern. You cannot usefully talk about debt, and you sure as heck cannot talk about the Debt / GDP ratio.
So Then Yellin comes on to try do something, and cannot comment on the proposed wealth tax (enforcement is the issue), cannot add to the discussion on debt to GDP and chooses distance rather than engagement.
A great op-d by Colorado's very own Amory Lovins. Turns out if that if Texas had any competent leadership much of their woes during #Freezeageddon could have been averted.
Like power generators, Texas homes are not built for winter
A product of the 5th Congressional District… this is what Freedumb at 38,000ft looks like:
Man accused of disrupting flight by not wearing mask, urinating in cabin
I might guess he also violated laws about bringing his own alcohol aboard …. but that's just a guess.
Sounds like a problem child – this is from 2015.
