Thursday: Hili dialogue

1. The photo and caption of Hili and Cyrus pretty much says it all. Great one.

2. In defence of the 13 MEP’s (and contra all the cheap-shot smartass Tw*tterati) I’d point out that often amendments limit or counter the proposed law, such that a vote for one is effectively a vote against the other. It is very easy to lose track of which way a vote is going.

   (I don’t know what the amendment was or which way they voted).

3. What the hell was Mike Lee even talking about. Oh look, shiny thing family values.

   1. ‘the courage needed to start a family’
      Wtf? I’m not sure how much courage is needed to bonk like rabbits…

      cr

      1. More courage required of the distaff side of the union, perhaps, especially among some of Senator Lee’s fellow Utah Mormons.

      2. Courage is needed to support the resulting bunnies.

   2. What he was meaning to say was – none of these babies will make it to the age of 10 if we republicans have anything to say about it.

      1. Is Mike Lee on drugs or something? Increasing the population will solve climate change? WTF is wrong with these people?

         1. Lee is not on drugs, he’s on the fossil fuel lobby payroll to the tune of around $230k [from memory] & then there’s the perks**, value unknown & unreported, from the same sources.

            ** Guarantees of work after politics, tickets to this & that [or rather ‘guest of’ invites] shindig home or abroad, ‘working holidays’ & hosts/hostesses [or whatever is your thing].

   3. I think Mike Lee was going for maximum disrespect for the Green New Deal and AOC. I think he overshot his goal by a wide margin and it came right back on him.

   4. The Senator has an IQ to match the room temperature.
      In Celsius.

4. If you had to choose one for CEO would it be [1] or [2]?

   [1] Jack the experimentalist: R “nope” L “nope” R “nope” R “nope” L “nope” R “nope” L “nope” R “nope” R “nope” L “nope” R “nope” L “nope” “IF I SPIN & R?” “nope” R “nope, BUT IF I U-TURN & L?” “nope” R “WAG WAG WAG”

   [2] Sen Mike Lee [R-Utah] the doofus: One of Sen. Lee’s visual aids during the speech depicted Pres. Ronnie Reagan on the back of a velociraptor being macho:

   Soon after Congresswoman AO-C, head sponsor of the Green New Deal, issued a statement on Twitter regarding Lee’s comments:

   “Like many other women + working people, I occasionally suffer from impostor syndrome: those small moments, especially on hard days, where you wonder if the haters are right. But then they do things like this to clear it right up. If this guy can be Senator, you can do anything.”

   1. I find myself in full agreement with AO-C’s sentiment regarding Lee. Senator Lee makes Idiocracy look like a documentary.

   2. That picture of Ronnie Raygun – that’s got to be a Poe, right? You’re kidding us, right? Howcome the whole House didn’t collapse in helpless laughter the moment he put that up…?

      (Googles): Oh I see. Lee was being a total jackass deliberately. I suppose that’s the definition of a poe.

5. I love the “Provocation” tweet. I always tell my partner that I genuinely like the sight of the occasional beer cap I leave on the kitchen surface (to his eyeroll).

   1. Did the furore about Tracy Emin cross the Moat?
      One of the furores?
      She likes a good furore does Tracy – something to do with being an artist and subsisting on publicity.

6. Lizzie Swann’s refuse-leaving-on-the-counter husband does a mean MoMA pastiche, right down to the typeface, from the looks of it.

7. Ha ha I like the shredded TP. Also, I like the dog trying to get the sick through the fence. My dog is pretty good at that or she’ll get angry, drop it & bark for help but she usually either rams it through or twists it to get it in there. Her sticks have been eliminated as she tends to eat pieces off & get an upset stomach.

   1. The lover of sticks. http://i1335.photobucket.com/albums/w666/ddmacpherson/IMG_0960_zpsdqwsoyo4.jpg

      1. That isn’t a stick, it’s a blinking pole.

         cr

         1. A long pole.

         2. I know. It’s funny how she manages to find big branches and pull them up on the deck. She isn’t allowed sticks on the house (or really outside if I see her with them but recently her hoard under the deck was discovered. She’d find sticks then go under there to chew them out of the rain/snow.

   2. The cat obviously doesn’t like the next sheet at the front. Hang it down the back like any sane animal!

      1. Yes!

   3. This is the one you’ll love, Diana! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4gAZene0nI

      1. Oh yes, that is one of my favourites because the cat puts the role as it should be.

8. Here’s hoping Dr. Dennett has many more pleasant seasons, steady winds, smooth waters, great speeches etc….

9. Seriously though, they need to install a laugh track in the Senate so that people know when to laugh at the Republican jokes. Otherwise they will just keep falling flat all the time.

   1. You could literally hear the crickets chirping.

10. Lots of good stuff today. Fantastic picture of Hili and Cyrus, dog got his stick, dancing bears at the Teddy Bears’ Picnic, and an unbelievable friendship between a crow and a kitten.

    1. The crow-kitten one is nearly 20 years old. Or the video camera it was filmed on was, and nobody could be bothered to set up the timestamp properly … no, that wouldn’t work.

    2. And Cerberus also.

11. The dog video had a happy ending. Liked that.

    1. I can’t help feeling that a crow would have solved it in seconds.
