IKR, I find it increasingly problematic when someone wants to engage me in conversation, and they don't realize I already have 5 convos going on in my head anyway.

@Bix

Umm, yes Veronica, they truly are really that freakin dumb.

@DavidSalo

Or wanton revenge

Given it's a Sunday, I was thinking about those cute little evangelical enclaves in the USA.

What do you think is channeling their rage now since they effectively won 'their way of life?"

I got it, they're already priming the pump for the next time Liberals think they can live in the same country.

As Trump’s other policies increase the rate of inflation, that will also spook the Fed into tightening money. Higher interest rates not only slow the economy; they themselves are inflationary because they raise borrowing costs on things like mortgages and auto loans.

Robert Kuttner on anticipated Fed policy under #47

Within broad limits, increased deficits per se need not be inflationary. But the Fed thinks otherwise. If Trump’s budget includes large increases in the federal deficit, we can expect the Fed to cease cutting interest rates.

Yep, getting back on this horse.

Joe Conason on the new Health Czar...

Naming a health czar who parrots the superstitions of Jack D. Ripper is a bad omen of Trump's intentions. We're about to find out how far the new administration will veer into chaos, how much human misery this president will cause on a whim. The prospects are not reassuring.

Trying to be, I'm channeling Cher and trying to get peeps to SNAP OUT OF IT.

That is all...

The implosion is going to take a little longer than we timelined.

BENEFITS OF COSO

Wow, I don't need to go to another site to see doomscrolling, there's enough of it here.

We ARE going to get through this together.

PERSONAL GOLF UPDATE

I'm now 3 years into playing golf. I've been fortunate as I've learned golf from great players, I've played with great players, and I watch a ton of videos on Golf.

Now, I do a league on Tuesdays, last week's results...

Here are the results of last week's straight golf:

First (63, tie) $20 each:

Second (65) $17:

Third (68) $15:

Fourth (69) $12:
Ken Madden

So, I picked up 4th place this past week. The 69 is a net score. Gross score was 81.

Weapons of war are pretty damn impersonal now, e.g. a drone operator miles away can snuff out an enemy.

When we do fight, we gotta be way more smart about how and when we fight.

Morning Jen,

Umm, Black Velvet, if you please...

Tough and controversial loss for the Utes last night who wanted to spoil BYU's unbeaten season.

Utah AD lit into officials after the game.

(Wow, that's never happened before...hehehe)

Ken-Dogger: Morning Eloise, you're looking regal.

Eloise: Why thanks Dogger, I'm just hanging out. I'm practicing calmness.

KD: Calmness, there is such a thing?

E: We come by it naturally, we sense it.

KD: So, you're telling me it's always there, you just gotta allow it to happen.

E: Boy, you know it's true.

KD: I'm enjoying these talks.

@LnzyHou

And even though it's Sunday,

PAPA DON'T PREACH either.

Morning Peeps,

As I'm starting to be able to feel again, I am sleeping better and I'm even going to do some cleaning today (Beer Cans fill trash cans quickly) as the Mikster comes back home on Tuesday.

And I guess I'm secretly a bit gleeful about these MAGAts finding out that OWNING THE LIBS has some costs.

Like...

TARIFFS

HIGHER TAXES

HIGHER GROCERY COSTS

LESS FOOD AVAILABLE

But you go ahead MAGAts and revel in owning the Libs.

Sade's music is getting me through the despair.

It's the Kiss of Life

You don't see many women standing up to pee either.
