Was honored to see Townes in a house/bar in the Heights, Houston. Everyone's heard this one.
Haven't finished this read yet. But this guy Buchanan makes Ayn Rand seem mild. Father of the libertarian right, and the plan the oligarchs have been following for decades.

RIP David Crosby. Cros' lived a long and "interesting" life. He's known he's been on borrowed time, and made the most of it. Good dude, no matter what. You're gonna step on some toes in 81 years. Thanks for all the music and memories Cros'.
Thom Hartman is always on point and informative.
Is the Reason Some Wealthy People Oppose Democracy Deeper Than We Think?
Bernie live - state of the working class.
Looking for snacks/what to make for dinner. Pulled out a ziploc w/a pot muffin a friend made. I've taken two or three bites out of it, trying to find the dosage over the last week. I took the last bite and discovered the bottom was all gooey wonderful berries and sugary things so woofed it down. I'll probably be pretty high in a bit. That's probably where all the goodies are.
It was a 60° day so I counted on going for a ride in the sunshine since my bike's been parked away during the snow. I'd gotten a new battery, went to install it, dropped a couple of washers lost 4ever. It took some time to accomplish the task. The shed gate led out onto a North shelter snow/ice so I had to zoom out through that, then got about an hour of tooling around and stopping for a beer and now I'm back. It was a good ride. It was a short ride. It was a cold ride after sunset. I loved it.
The Puerto Rican population is poor and graying due to young job seekers heading to the mainland. There is little infrastructure to care for those who remain. The largest part of disaster relief $$ from Maria and other allocated help has never been disbursed. Over 65 age neighbors help the truly elderly abandonados. Else, little.
UAP sightings.
(UFO's to you geezers)
"Of the 366 new reports, 26 were determined to be drones, 163 were balloons and six aerial objects were attributed to clutter."
Clutter?
Good morning all - I hope you have a great day and a good breakfast. Have some granola and oatmeal, eggs are expensive, and here's the reason. ;^)
From Thom Hartmann:
America has endured 42 years of Reaganomics and over 50 years of Nixon’s racist Southern Strategy. We lived through Trump’s threats, bombast, and treason.
And we’ve seen the results of FDR’s Social Security, JFK’s NASA and Civil Rights legislation, LBJ’s Medicare and Medicaid, and Obama’s expansion of healthcare with the ACA.
China seems to make sense for its size, but I'll include them in the question too.
Without thinking about it too much, I ask, what the fuck is it with India having so large a population?
I enjoyed every moment.
Music, camera, dialogue, sequencing...all.
Wes Anderson.
But it's fabulous!
Watching "The French Dispatch"
Loving it.
I'm too high for commentary.
Best.
No spoilers.

Good Sunday morning to you all! Cranberry/molasses drop biscuits. 3:1 AP:MarthaWhite cornmeal. Some Flax for good measure. Buttered the top when they came out. I've already eaten 3.

I don't think it's going to take long for this House session to become such a shit show to where "moderate" Republicans may finally decide to work with Democrats. Since anyone can call for a vote on the speaker at any time, there may be a way to form a coalition to replace this. But it's going to take some time.
Is there a single Republican that Democrats would be all right with as speaker that they could get behind, along with 5-6 Republicans?
