I thought, "The have had so much trouble scoring 20 points in a game, wouldn't it be cool if they can score 20 in the first quarter?"

And here we are.

What a bunch of wusses! (can I use the p-word to describe these low-lifes? Is that OK?) So "proud" of their Nazism, but afraid to show their faces in public.

Next time they march (and there probably will be a "next time", unfortunately), I hope the route is lined by people armed with water balloons filled with rainbow-colored paint.

"An official for Nasa recently suggested that the company will need the number of launches to be 'in the high teens' before the craft can be used for the lunar landing mission."

By comparison, the Saturn V was flown... once or twice? before humans rode on top of it. By my count, it was the fifth copy of that rocket that launched the first Moon landing. And it NEVER experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly."

A observational that means something to SOMEbody...

On my personal , there's been a significant uptick in spam comments over the past few weeks... from single digits to several dozen per day.

The new comments are all long comments in , from .ru domains.

We woke up to learn that Peoples Food Coop of La Crosse has taken over Fayze's bakery (closed about six weeks ago along with the rest of Fayze's restaurant). The coop got the recipes, the equipment, the lease on the space, and hired back three bakery employees.

This is Very Good News, as Fayze's bread is awesome and the coop's own bread is kinda lame. So Fayze's breads will once again be available at the coop.

So Manchin knows that a second Trump term will "destroy democracy in America."

But that contradicts his infatuation with the "No Labels" BS. Unless destroying democracy is the goal?

"[Congressman Mark] Pocan said that at a regular checkup of his own at SSM Health, he was 'asked to sign a statement accepting that I will be billed if I mentioned any medical concerns ... '"

SO WHAT'S THE F***ING POINT OF A CHECKUP?
