“Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, ‘This is a misfortune’ but ‘To bear this worthily is good fortune.'”
–Marcus Aurelius

Good Morning
After the little Drumpf Bible stunt yesterday, and given its Holy Week, I'm planning to post an antidote once a day the rest of the week to sage that shit (stick with me fellow agnostics, atheists and wickens).
Excellent words, my friend. I look forward to the next installment..👍
Nice work Michael! Keep on saging, and may the people who really need this reminder smell the pungent smoke!
Why I hate the oily boys.

Oil-backed group proposes Colorado drilling ban, tighter ozone rules in ballot initiative surprise – Denver Business Journal
"Protect Colorado, the political campaign group backed by oil and gas companies, submitted the initiative language not to get them on fall ballots for voters to decide but hoping the title board will reject them.
The Colorado Constitution prohibits the title of legislation and ballot initiatives from being more than a single subject. Protect Colorado proposed the ballot initiative language to test whether the three bills being debated by legislators meet that standard.
“Besides threatening Colorado’s economy, we believe SB24-159, SB24-165, and HB24-1330 as introduced violate the single subject requirement,” explained Mark Truax, campaign manager for Protect Colorado and president and CEO of Pac/West Strategies, a consultancy, in an emailed statement. “We have filed these three bills as ballot measures with the non-partisan Title Board to weigh whether these in fact violate single subject, and therefore Colorado’s Constitution.”
Though my Mama told me not to hate anyone, the denizens of the Petroleum Club exhibit many reasons to intensely dislike them. It is endemic within the "oil bidness" to believe you have a unique set of rights and privileges, just for you. Deep pockets will do that. Things like Colorados' property tax exemption just for O&G, or the BLMs' easy, greasy waiver process, or the states' refusal to require adequate bonding and provide vigilant enforcement of same support their thinking on that.
The stupendous amounts of money the OilyBoyz spend protecting their right to intrude and pollute allow them to steamroll their competition more often than not.
#DerangedDonnie continues to target Judge Merchan’s daughter. (In 2020, a Trump supporter shot and killed the son of Judge Esther Salas)
We should totally put the nuclear codes in the tiny hands of this lunatic.
Secretary of State update from 3/26 includes "Deborah Flora Qualifies for State Primary Ballot"
That's a pretty rough validity rate, no? I know there are lots of ways for signatures to get rejected, of course.
Has You-Know-Who weighed in yet on how the Francis Scott Key Bridge never came down during his administration?
Or is he too busy peddling his Bibles? BTW, for an added charge, does he autograph them?
And the process grinds on. AP reports
Ex-Trump lawyer Eastman should lose state law license for efforts to overturn election, judge says
A judge has recommended that conservative attorney John Eastman lose his California law license over his efforts to keep former President Donald Trump in power after the 2020 election.
I gotta say I'm confused how a Supreme Court "final ruling" can be appealled. I really don't believe the US Federal Courts have much to say about states licensing its own state's attorneys.
The judge who heard the evidence acts as fact finder but the state supreme court is the ultimate authority which has to pull his license. I imagine that it will be a formality and they will not do anything to override her decision.
BTW, what is going on in federal court in Colorado with the state GOP's lawsuit over the semi-open primary? Is Honey Badger warming up in the bullpen to take over for Eastman?
