I is voted in spite of distressing lack of bribes.

You know, if you're going to the funeral of a Communist, it's not going to kill you to wave a red flag. I could go on and make an argument about church funerals, but the point seems pre-made. If you show up and refuse to rise for the hymn/take off your shoes/ wear the hat, you've made your point. Which is that you're an a##hole.

Which will definitely be a consolation for it when it gets eaten by a shark.

To briefly respond to these questions, while I do not know the specifics of Scott's current condition, I did know him quite well in college, and can tell you that he suffers from a congenital disorder that would more than explain why he currently requires assisted living and remedial surgery.

Oh, seriously. The shoggoths are going to be fine.

This campaign has the most generic place names ever!

Oh, there you go, dragging facts into the conversation again

Man, I miss those library barbecues... ....Also it should be noted that at a university library that's barely a joke.

Wait. The thing that all the experts were saying turned out to be true? And the glib contrarian was wrong? This cannot be!

Taking a break from my postblogging writing because I had to put this somewhere: Apparently, after being taken by a con man claiming to be the advance man of a travelling circus in 1950 cla, Wetumka, Oklahoma has been holding an annual town festival on the day that the circus was supposed to arrive. It's called "Sucker Day," and celebrates the day when they were taken for suckers. It feels like the whole world could maybe throw a Sucker Day party this year.

You guys are doing that thing where you pretend to get the date of Thanksgiving late by a month and a half again? Also, while I grant that it's safer, anyone who thinks that stuffing cooked outside the bird is the same as the stuff cooked in the body cavity is fooling themselves. Sorry.

No, they're not.

Yep. No dopes in logger sports, eh.

And by "avoid," I take it you mean, "Lie in bed gritting your teeth and trying to will yourself back to sleep so you don't go online to check if they'd called Michigan yet."

In fairness to Trump voters: First, it is very hard for an American administration to fail to be re-elected; Second, it has proven very hard for a government to lose an election in this fall of COVID. Yes, one can argue that the Trump administration's response to the pandemic has been poor, but I don't notice that the elections this fall have been sensibly affected by the details of the response. Trump's supporters certainly don't seem to believe that he has handled the pandemic badly.

....Will Nickelback do?

Everyone needs to relax and have a nice cup of tea.

That's depressing. In a good way.

I follow him with all ten of my accounts, and I'm not even on Twitter./end subroutine

So. Was it in colour?

Finally! A holiday special that can actually use Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer! "As for Grandpa and me, we believe."

I picked up a copy, and since I had to create a DriveThruRPG account to do it, blew some cash on some Star Fleet Battles stuff while I was at it. Curse you, Chris! . . . Other than that, fun little adventure.

Well, sure, yeah. But I am going to pitch in and help by criticising the way the job is done.

Comity and the norms of the Senate demand that their Democratic colleagues absent themselves to balance the effects of illness.
