Where is Waldo Winchester? Barack Obama?

Missing Rush Limbaugh today. (The wonderful Mark Steyn is subbing.)

I wanted to hear Rush try to negotiate the situation in which the mainstream GOP members of the House were backing the Trump-endorsed AHCA, while the far-right Limbaugh/Hannity Freedom Caucus were rebelling and opposing the bill.

Hahahaha.

I don't think Louis Gohmert is getting any Hannity invites these days.

Carmen San Diego?

Good interview on Bobdylan.com today. Funny thing is, I learned about it from the MPLS paper, which had a headline to the effect that Bob Dylan talked a lot about MN. Who'll he did answer some direct questions about it, he really didn't say much, and spoke only in generalities. MN just can't let the guy go.

... I learned about it from the MPLS paper....

I read that, and couldn't understand why a paper on an advanced networking technique, such as MPLS would discuss a Bob Dylan interview.

( I'm currently taking a Computer Networks grad class, plus our office just had hardware installed to set up an MPLS circuit. )

Bliss, I believe MPLS paper, means the Minneapolis Star and Tribune newspaper.

Here is an article about the two Senators from MN --

Skip to the comments. They are brutal toward Franken.

As I recall, theNavaho hid on top of the mesas when enemies came into their lands. The rest of their time was spent going on annual raiding of the settlers for cattle and horses. That was why the locals welcomed Texan gringos, because Mexico City would not defend them from Navajos And Comanches.

Hagar said...

Texans have never been welcome in these parts. You are confusing them with the Yankee army under General Kearny, which indeed was welcomed on the promise of protecting the Nuevo Mexicanos from the depredations of the Navajos and Comanches.
And you are also confusing the Navajos with the pueblo Indians, which will also get you in trouble with both sides.

I am far from the pulse of the nation where I live, is there a nickname for the sort of faux 'Fro-hawk hairstyle a lot of the Black young men are rocking in the NCAA men's tournament this year, or are we sticking with "Faux 'Fro-Hawk"?

Filibuster?

Bill said...

Now that you've experienced hoodoos, you need to visit Arizona and experience a haboob.

Yancey Ward said...

Ken B,

Schumer has backed himself into a corner and has to proceed to a formal filibuster, but I predict the most endangered Democrats will be given private permission to defy their leadership and vote for cloture, and all but one of them will then vote against Gorsuch.

Yancey Ward said...

Also, I think the leaks and who monitored who during and after the election is about to clarify in a big way. What Nunes did yesterday has all the characteristics of someone trying to get on the right side of something about to break out into the open.

I think what you are going to learn is that the Obama Administration didn't target Trump and his staff directly- they targeted everyone those people were talking to.

Static Ping said...

Watch the first step. It's a doozy.

Hagar said...

...they targeted everyone those people were talking to.

But then "those people" are not just "incidentally collected."

You should submit this to the Trump 100 Days art show. It's got blue, it's got red, it's got orange, it's got a canyon with a seemingly bottomless chasm. It's also got nothing to do with Trump. It's perfect.

Hoodoo used to be a jive era name for marijuana, as in the Louis Jordan song "Somebody Done Hoodoo'd the Hoodoo Man".
