Krankenhaus.
I have contracted the dreaded man-cold. My wife would normally roll her eyes and disregard my plaintive wails, but she just got over a bit of a bug recently. So I’ve got that going for me. Which is nice.
Have some Links;
- Man, this guy has no luck in NOLA.
- It is always “far-right”…
- It is always “teens”…
- I hope my main Swiss news source isn’t in trouble.
Comments are open and all yours.
It’s always the same thing.
It’s a tumor. Always a tumor.
I thought it was always lupus. Or is it never lupus? 🤔
It’s not a tumah!

Damn those far-right teens!
I thought it was always those damn Amish?
Rumspringa.
Well, there’s your problem. Kiss girls, get cooties. Same as it ever was.
get cooties
At least they’re not fatal
Depends on the definition…
Speaking of election results:
Sweden’s center-left bloc fails to form government
Sweden appears in a deadlock because the center refuses to work with either the left or right ends leaving no block with a majority.
Used to be they’d settle a political crisis like this with a good old fashioned murderous axe melee. Erik the Red must be spinning in his grave.
I could have sworn the center would swerve left as soon as possible. Gridlock is a better option.
inorite? Or unite with them against the fAr rIgHt.
The bloc has been blocked
the far-right Sweden Democrats
Ermagad!
Can you imagine what Swedish Republicans would be like?
Bech was returning to the Superdome for the first time since his brother, Tiger, was killed during the New Year’s Day terror attack on Bourbon Street.
Dudes named Tiger apparently have trouble around motor vehicles.
Not all of them.
We had an interpreter nick named Tiger.
He went off base to go see his wife and new baby and his car got pinned to a concrete barrier by two cars driven my Madi militia and lit up.
If he hasent been driving the lead poisoning shouldn’t have killed him.
Clearly democracy is in peril. Elections should be suspended until such time as democracy can be repaired.
14 seats out of 348.
The camps are coming.
Hope you feel better. We have the opposite here, the Mrs. is sick and was none too pleased that she had to wait an extra hour at the airport for me last night. I’m sure I’ll catch whatever it is in due time.
I had it last week. It was an irritant for almost the whole week.
It always seemed that I’d catch something on the plane.
Flew to St Croix, spent a week sitting in the car to stay warm while everyone else was swimming. Flew back and was diagnosed with pneumonia.
Other trips always seemed to end up with a cold of some sort. I blamed re-circulated air.
On the flight there, I head a kid a few rows back coughing the whole time. That was unnerving.
“I blamed re-circulated air.”
Yes. Blame anti-smokers, the sucker-outers of fun and clean, fresh cabins.
Come on, everyone loves the stale taste of recycled air.
Pat: I’m glad that’s what I thought it was. Ben Gibbard sometimes tries too hard, but he’s a very good songwriter. I really like Death Cab. I think it’s funny the band and The US Postal Service had to come to an agreement about the name, and IIRC it was agreed to, somehow, and the Postal Service album was available on the USPS site.
I like some of that album but I don’t remember this track at all. 🫤
I haven’t seen so many disturbed pussies since the Clancy trial coverage.
HEY-OH!
Odds are 11-1 that there will not be a new trial
She’s back in court tomorrow, so we all have the opportunity to see more.
/Turns TV off, hides remote
Come on guys, you just need to watch another 6 hours of the trial and it will change your mind.
Bonus Ray of Sunshine. (Sound on)
Sloopy probably would’ve linked to this were it his turn today.
holy shit

Lee County. Southeast corner of the state. Access to the Mississippi river and rail lines.
I’m shocked this is going into a state with a fairly strong union presence instead of going to one of the southern states.
Then again, the ore is coming from Minnesota along well established transportation routes.
India based company, not a US company. Which, I guess is good. Money coming in.
Though I note the plant isn’t scheduled to be on-line until 2030. That’s plenty of time for the company to go bankrupt (thinking of a steel company’s plans for a mill near where I grew up that never went anywhere because the company went bankrupt) or the government to kill it.
Just have the usual suspects label it a “data center” and the whole plan to build will be run out of town.
Sounds like there was probably a fair amount of cronyism and politics involved. Let’s not overlook that Iowa still gets its ass kissed by the executive branch because it holds its presidential caucus on a particular day.
The dems told Iowa to fuck off. The dem caucus is well down the list now.
Of course, Iowa law actually requires it to occur at least east eight days before any other state’s presidential nominating contest.
More hijinks to come.
Same in NH with respect to the presidential primary, which happened before the 2024 primary.
NH had the presidential primary as state law requires. The Dems initially said they wouldn’t recognize it, but then backed down. I don’t remember why, but I think it might have had to the do with Biden dropping out.
Oh that could be fun, Iowa AG suing the DNC.
Will they take the money and run again?
They kind of have a negative reputation up on the iron range of Minnesoda.
“Failure to complete construction will result in targetted assassinations of all corporate officers.”
“Why’s this clause in the contract?”
“Insurance.”
Can’t blame Walz for this one…
Are you sure it wasn’t climate change?
“It’s certainly a bad weather day,” said Seacoast resident Kate Dewan. “I wouldn’t want to hang out on the beach for long.”
She said that even though the storm left its mark, it won’t be one for the books.
“As nor’easters go, this is one of the more mild ones, I think,” Dewan said.
Even so, the cleanup could take some time.
“It was crazy!” said resident John Green. “It was absolutely nuts!”
They interviewed Mac?
🙂
If it happened outside it was due to climate change.
Speaking of that stupid fucking trial, I’m really starting to get aggravated every time somebody says the “holdout juror provided no evidence to support his decision”.
NH politics round-up
New Hampshire has a competitive U.S. Senate race between Pappas and John Sununu. How do you know it’s real?
You can start with the polls. The RealClearPolitics average gives Pappas a 6.5-point lead, which is significant but not overwhelming. And the most recent poll is from NYTimes/Siena, rated by Nate Silver as one of the top three public polls in the country, and gives Pappas just a five-point lead.
Then there’s private polling from campaigns and political organizations spending money on candidates and needing real data, so they pay for very high-quality polls. Multiple sources have confirmed to NHJournal that their polls show the race is in play.
Speaking of spending: for people too smart to trust public polls, there’s the political adage “Money talks.” And it’s saying Republicans believe Sununu is a legit contender. According to data compiled by political researcher Rob Pyers, Republicans have outspent Democrats in this Senate race by more than $13 million.
Well I’m sold. The wizard prognosticator who accurately predicted the media’s First Black Hope would win against an ill tempered octogenarian warmongering manlet has spoken. Seriously, how the fuck is Nate Silver still a thing? He’s done no better than a basic average of polls his entire fucking career.
Fuck you, X.
I just got back from Oregon. It seems that everyone there is homeless or gay. But at least their roads are good and slow drivers know to stay in the right lane.
This is normal.
Where’s the many-billions-of-dollars-a-year homeless industrial complex that is supposed to help such people?
How did she get the birds to stand still?
My wife and I have the dead-opposite reaction to being sick:
Me: leave me alone, don’t talk to me, don’t check on me every five minutes, just let me get through this.
Her: I want to be checked on constantly and asked what I need every five minutes.
We both treat each other how we’d like to be treated and, thus, annoy the hell out of each other.
That sounds familiar. I just want to be left alone. One of the times I had COVID I got yelled at for getting out of bed and making my own tea. Meanwhile the wife wants tons of attention and people to go get her things. And then she tells everyone that I’m the baby when I’m sick.
,em>How did she get the birds to stand still?
DAMMIT
Bomb scare at Hahvahd today. Obviously the work of far right terrorists.
