Spanish Werewolf Babies. Add the word bottom and it sounds like something my 4 year old would be talking about.

Stick a fork in him, Joltin' Joe Biden is done. The man has always been gaffetastic, but this bordering on the sad and cruel.

The upshot: In the space of three minutes, Biden got the time period, the location, the heroic act, the type of medal, the military branch and the rank of the recipient wrong, as well as his own role in the ceremony.

Speaking of questionable coherence of news figures, consider this sequence of tweets about the teenage sailing activist.

Deets.

> bordering on the sad and cruel.

See this from Kaus, and remember that Obama gave Biden the Medal of Freedom for no discernible reason.

You can forget about that promotion, major.

" Obama gave Biden the Medal of Freedom for no discernible reason."

Much like Obama's peace prize for the achievement of getting elected. Participation trophies, adult version.

Brad Pitt wants you to know his new sci-fi movie is really about toxic masculinity.

Jazz hands!

Because applause might be triggering.

Well, believe it or not, "she" could be an improvement over Bug-Eyes Schiff:

“Maebe A. Girl” Wants To Be The First Drag Queen In Congress

Much like Obama's peace prize for the achievement of getting elected. Participation trophies, adult version.

Actually if you look at the dead line for first round nominations Obama's hat was thrown in the right for being ahead in the polls heading into the PRIMARY

And the deadline for final submissions to the short list was BEFORE the general election, so he was nominated for nothing more than being the most popular Democratic candidate

Jazz hands!

I've been trying to start a movement claiming jazz hands are triggering

Mixed feelings.

In general I resist you-should-think-about-how-it-FEEEYILLZ approaches to life.

On the other hand, how onerous is the burden of a few hours (or days, or weeks) with a ballpoint in hand?

> Jazz hands!

As of two hour ago, I still can't see a bag of Jazz Apples in the grocery without snickering, because etymology.

On the other hand, how onerous is the burden of a few hours (or days, or weeks) with a ballpoint in hand?

Writing the list, I can go with. But this? forced speech? not so much.

Morris and Nelson were also ordered to handwrite obituaries for 40 Montanans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and pen apology letters to the American Legion, AmVets, Disabled American Veterans, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the Vietnam Veterans of America.

Yogi Bear approves. Let's get us some pic-a-nic baskets!

Sticky wicket, indeed.

Florida Man update. I can vouch: this is all true.

That thing where you add a quart of oil, but then you slip when you're putting the cap back on the manifold and it falls between the engine block on the firewall and ends at the bottom with like a penny at the end of its roll away. But then you look under the car and it isn't there. So then you think it's fallen onto the plate that protects the innards from mud, so you stick a rag in the cap full end drive to the shop, and they can't find it and you have to buy a new one. And you're wondering what parallel dimension now hosts your oil cap.

then you drive home, and the old one it sitting at the edge of your driveway

Maybe I should post this again soon, in another thread. In the meantime, I thought: "now THIS is different, for him..."

From the first half:

I’ve always promised myself that this column would never get “academic,” but I see no choice with respect to the issue at hand, so here goes ... as simple as I can make it.

Fractional anisotropy (FA) is a measure of connectivity in the brain. As such, it’s a reflection of cognitive aging as determined by the deterioration of white matter. The more white matter, the “younger” the brain, and vice versa.

For as long as methylphenidates (Ritalin, Concerta, et al.) have been given to children who are diagnosed with ADHD, pharmaceutical companies, physicians and mental health professionals have maintained these drugs are safe.

Are they?

Methylphenidates (MPH) affect brain function. They are stimulants, classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration as Schedule 2 narcotics, the same classification given to cocaine, morphine and amphetamines.

How does “safe” equate to cocaine and speed? It doesn’t. When confronted with this inconvenient truth, the purveyors in question claim, usually, that MPH is prescribed in low dosages that pose no hazard. But cocaine in low dosages is not safe. It is still cocaine. As a recent scientific study establishes, the same is true of MPH...

God, I hate this.

Everyone wants to be thought of as a renegade free thinker whose truths the man just can't handle.

Look at the start of that piece:

I see no choice with respect to the issue at hand, so here goes ... as simple as I can make it.

What's it like to be so needy? What's it like to wake up in a swirling, nearly drunken fantasy that your truths are so compelling that you have to carve away all the details before anyone will comprehend the magnitude of your realkeeping?

I'm reminded of this tweet: Honey, it's just a fucking burrito.

Bunny, you are not the sort of thinker who need worry about overwhelming by formality.





Lenona, I like you. Really! A lot.

But sheesh.
