Hiroshima Day, now 77 years gone by.

Today is the first time this year we turned on the a/c. You can really swim through the air tonight. I suppose we're gonna get a lot of rain.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, actually a Republican, countered the “old crow” nickname former President Donald Trump bestowed as an insult in stride, gifting fellow Republican senators with bottles of Old Crow bourbon Thursday at GOP senators’ weekly luncheon.

I assume that taxpayers paid a grand for the Kentucky booze.

How beautiful the sky is!! Was…

That’s a pretty cool story, gadfly. I like his touch. I hope he of out of pocket.

Those photos are lavish and lovely. Probably fattening.

I start tomorrow on three and a half days of restricted diet on behalf of being cleared out for a colonoscopy on Wednesday. Will probably shed some poundage at the same time, and I may like the result enough to make it permanent.

It will be interesting to see how often I have to catch myself.

The malevolent ghoul Cheney has made a video for his malevolent witch daughter. I had forgotten just how loathsome and demented that guy is. He is literally hard to look at. Literally.

The vid of Putin singing the anthem dates from 2018.

Notice how he holds the mike with his right hand.

Gadfly,
The nickname bestowed was "Old Broken Crow".
I was there.

I'd much rather pay for them to be drunk all day than pass laws...

Gadfly The Hopeless: "...gifting fellow Republican senators..."

What McConnell has "gifted" us is Republican Failure Theater to cement the complete weaponization of govt against republican base voters, whom McConnell despises.

Russia has invaded Ukraine, no news there. China has militarily encircled Taiwan, the current focus of the feckless Bidas Touch™ foreign policy experts. Receiving some, but limited coverage are the Norks making non-peaceful gestures in the Korean peninsula. Now we unsubstantiated* news of 100,000 Nork troops volunteering to fight in Ukraine.

*"North Korea has offered to send 100,000 soldiers to bolster Russia’s invasion attempt in Ukraine, Russian state TV has claimed.

“There are reports that 100,000 North Korean volunteers are prepared to come and take part in the conflict,” Korotchenko said on Russian Channel One.

Remember back in January when we had the choice to avoid escalation in Eastern Europe and the Pacific? None of this is Joe’s fault, of course, he just wants to help people.

Howard म्हणाले...

Nice shot of ChemTrails.

Might I suggest Joe Biden for the Nobel Peace Prize. As opposed to President Obama*, who did nothing to earn his Nobel prize, Slo' Joe has at least accomplished something. The are conflicts across the globe ....

* "Never under estimate the ability of Joe Biden to screw things up." (Barack the Magnificent, 2022)

I chuckled.

Those who were at one time referred to as fat people are now "Persons living with obesity," and it's a medical diagnosis. Southwest Airlines refers to them as "Person of Size" when advising them to book 2 seats if they can't fit into one.

Just like persons who live with substance addiction, or, slightly OT, "persons experiencing homelessness" who previously were known as addicts or junkies, or hobos.

All of these people now have "diseases" that the medical profession has taken an interest in. Lack of self discipline or self control no longer enters the equation. These are chemical imbalances that require therapy and medication for resolution. Follow the $.

I remember being a horny teenage boy back in the last millennium. I really wanted to get up close and personal with any number of young ladies in high school. I was a person of horn. I doubt that my innate desire to do so was any less compelling or controlling then than the desire of a typical obese-American to consume that next Ding Dong or Big Mac. I lived through it undamaged due to a very small amount of self discipline and a large amount of enforcement on the part of my intendeds. No unwanted pregnancies, no STDs.

Are (some of) the folks peddling puberty blockers trying to make a buck from those teenagers suffering from my previous condition? For those curious, my condition has gone into partial remission.

"The malevolent ghoul Cheney has made a video for his malevolent witch daughter. I had forgotten just how loathsome and demented that guy is. He is literally hard to look at. Literally."

I can't comprehend how Liz, or her political consultants, or whoever else was involved, could watch that video and think it was a good idea to release it. How many votes will that gain her? Dick looks like he is auditioning for the villain in a movie role. And the getup he's wearing reminds me that he shot a man in the face.

Some people believe that Putin only uses his right arm when he has to, or when he is surrounded by body guards. That's because he was trained by the KGB to keep his right arm straight down at his side, in order to be close to his holster. You can see this in the way he walks while barely moving his right arm. I'm guessing he is armed nearly all the time. So maybe that is why he is swatting the fly away with his left arm.

Contrails, Howard.
Mostly water vapor. Because jet engines are ,wait for it, giant air compressors. And as the air is compressed what happens to the water vapor? It condenses. Hence 'contrails'.

If Putin dies, nobody here in the West is gonna like the guy who replaces him.
