Go
Away From the Light
House Republicans forced a, useless, non-binding vote yesterday to
denounce the horrors of socialism.
GOP: "Ah rise to vote against socialism*.
*Except the
parts that concern paying for the military, the country's
infrastructure, public safety, Social Security (because I'm
not stupid), Medicare (ditto) and, most importantly, my government-paid
salary, health insurance, pension and PPP loan."
It was a stupid stunt so that the GOP can use it as ammunition
in 2024 when they tell their stupid voters that Democrats
support "SOCIALISM!",
whether
Democrats voted for or against the stupid resolution.
ARGH!
-----------------
Guess which anti-semitic remark caused the loss of
a House committee spot:
Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Jewish space lasers caused
California wildfires."
Ilhan Omar: "It's all about the Benjamins*."
*Not an anti semitic remark. It refers to hundred-dollar
bills, not Netanyahu.
Answer: You know the answer.
------------------
I hope you all appreciate the fact that I didn't do
a Groundhog Day cartoon. There's PLENTY of that already.
------------------
I've been living in the same house for many, many
years and in none of that time did I ever worry that
I might some wintery day freeze to death because the
power went out.... until two years ago.
Now every time there's the least danger of a gentle
frost I start chopping wood, accumulating propane (and
propane accessories), and herding large farm animals
into my bedroom, for the
benefit
of their
body
heat, all as a result of the preposterous way this
state (Texas, for those who don't know) decided at
some point in the past that its electric energy was
too precious to share on the national power grid.
Northeast Texas just endured another of our famous,
economically debilitating ice storms and, no, the power
didn't go out on me this
time so I stayed snug and warm, but it's just the beginning
of Black History Month so there's still a good chance
for an episode of dollar-store cryogenics.
Now if you'll excuse me it's time for bed and I need
to go tuck the sheep in. (I'd add they count people
to go to sleep faster but that would be a b-a-a-a-a-a-d
joke.)
