Banana For Scale

Dogs will do just about anything their owners ask of them.

"Here! Let's go do a thing!"
"Oh, boy! Let's go! I can hardly wait!"
"Here! Eat this food I was about to throw away."
"Yeah! You bet! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! Nom-nom-nom."
"Here! Go kill that guy!"
"You bet! Here I go! Grrr!"

Cats are different.

"Here! Let's go do a thing."
"Why?"
"Here! Eat this food I was about to throw away."
"You're kidding, right?"
"Here! Go kill that guy?"
"What's in it for me?"

I prefer an animal, and an electorate, that asks questions, not obeys mindlessly. Else you end up doing things like, oh, I dunno, waiting for dead people to spring back to life and announce that Donald Trump is president.

---------------

Far be it from me to cast suspicion on election results, but...

Virginia Gubernatorial results:

2017: 2.6 million votes total.
D: 1.4 million R: 1.17 million

2021: 3.2 million votes total.
D: 1.5 million R: 1.66 million

Where did the 500,000 Republican votes come from? And, whaddaya know, just enough to beat the Democrat.

This stinks.

For the record: Population of Virginia
2017: 8.46 million
2021: 8.62 million

160,000 more citizens in four years but 500,000 more Republican voters. Yeah, that makes sense.

"Where did the...Republican votes come from?"

The last time I voted in-person I asked the poll workers if they were confident about ballot integrity. They replied in the affirmative because the number of ballots in the metal box equaled the number of voters who had voted.

I then asked if they were confident that every vote on every ballot was not manipulated during the black-box electronic tabulation.

< crickets >

Your question was rhetorical, right?

And the hits just keep coming...

"Ryan denied in her letter that a tweet where she wrote that she had “blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I’m not going to jail” didn’t indicate that she was above the law.'

Mwa-ha-ha-hah indeed...side of irony with that schadenfreude, biznatch?

*best contemplative Inigo Montoya voice*

"I wonder if irony is the opposite of wrinkly?"

Well now, a good day all around. So far...

Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan - a woman - of color - from Jamaica - appointed by Obama - is leaning toward denying OFM's request for "Executive Privilege" citing that she disagrees with the dolt's lawyers assertions that allowing the requested documents from J6 to be released would cause harm, as in: “The harm exists to the institution of the presidency”...

To which she replied "Well, the current president disagrees. Shouldn’t that weigh in?”

*best Emeril Lagasse voice*

BAM!

And CPAC has proactively lawyered up. Huh.

Also found a copy of The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (in stock no less) at - wait for it - Target!

Whouda thunk it.

So yeah, a good day on the face of it. Now to go make a disinfected water (once I realized what the fish were doing in the water I have had to disinfect it with Whisky, Irish in this case, Jamesons specifically) and continue to lounge around in my pajamas and slippers just like when I got up this morning.

Busy, busy, busy.....

Well the Rethuglicans DID say the elections were rigged, didn't they? Unfortunately, McAuliffe conceded before a recount and audit could be called for. Why not? Was he coerced by nazis or space aliens or Massed Karens?!

To Lefty and David
Please don't take this wrong, but Virginia for Biden was the fluke. Yesterday was business as usual. Including keeping as many Democrats uncounted as possible.

eddi

The NRA only wants one thing for their money. More money from the manufacturers of guns and ammo.
That's one more. New York did too. Virginia... looks bad, but it's just the Rebs came out from under their rocks this time.
Secretary Raffensperger, Trump only knows two ways to get what he wants; lie to the rubes or bribe the people in charge.
Yeah. And corporations are people. Another brick kicked out from under us.
The apology may be accepted, but they preferred someone they could blame for their own inaction. Miss Thunberg is neither fooled or amused by their antics.

David

Maybe dogs should vote then we can have better results. Better candidates as well.
Virginia's election was rigged who knew.

When I heard of the gathering at Dealey Plaza, I was reminded that Mental Health issues are bigger than we thought.

Vote for Astro...

Banana for scale indeed...

Old legend about Fidel Castro; he once went to speak at the Baracoa Woman's Auxiliary and afterwards politely asked if he could smoke his cigar there in their ballroom.

The lady at the piano replied while playing scales then banging the ivories - "dum-da-da-dum-da-da-dum-dummm...yes, we ban no Havanas, we ban no Havanas today!"

(Apologies to Louis Prima...)

All dogs can understand each other. Too bad humans can't.
Chihuahua: Some dogs are small and fierce. banana for scale.
Greyhound: Some dogs are sleek and fast.
Chow: Some dogs are large and fluffy.
Well, I guess some humans are, uh, different shades of brown?
