Good News! (unexpected)
It’s not often that I see side-by-side headlines that both make me smile (above). Despite RINO outcries about “unexpected consequences,” and “be careful what you wish for,” the ousting of Kevin McCarthy by Matt Gaetz and friends was a breath of fresh air.
No matter what happens next, the warnings of Republican chaos are preferable to an untenable status quo. Good riddance, McCarthy.
As for Aaron Rodgers … I’m a Vikings fan and spent years rooting for former Packer Rodgers’s comeuppance. But the quarterback’s refusal to take the jab and willingness to take jabs at sellouts like Travis Kelce have made me a Rodgers fan — at least until he faces the Vikes.

Bad News! (expected)
I’m tired of hearing criticisms of the FBI come with the caveat: “But the FBI rank and file are very good people.” It’s the same caveat we hear about teachers and their unions: “But the rank and file are very good people.”
The rank and file are tainted by their leaders. Individual teachers and FBI agents are the only people who can stop the madness.

Middle East Turmoil
I just heard about this an hour ago.
So, beyond an obligatory “what the fuck?” reaction, I have no comment.

Lake and March in Witch
I watched I Married a Witch the other day, enjoyed it, and decided to check out some background information about the film. From Wikipedia:
This was almost as entertaining as the movie. Director X hated screenwriter X who hated actor X who hated actor X who hated ….

Kudos to Tim Pool for recognizing the importance of culture in our national war between the Reds and the Blues. He wants to create Red-friendly music, videos, and coffee bars.
But Pool badly needs a partner, a modern Walt Disney, to help him achieve his goal. His on-the-road shows, including Friday’s panel in Florida with Matt Gaetz, are lifeless and dull.
What Pool needs is a partner who understands show-biz pizzazz. He can’t do it by himself.

Speaking of (sort of) culture … if you are mentally ill and a fan of Big Brother, as I am, there are YouTube channels devoted to BB recaps and analysis. This is one of the better ones.
As a bonus, the host is a Minnesota girl.
