Whoops...

From the Washington Post:


"Mark Randall “Mack” Wolford was known all over Appalachia as a daring man of conviction. He believed that the Bible mandates that Christians handle serpents to test their faith in God — and that, if they are bitten, they trust in God alone to heal them."

God didn't come through with his end of the bargain, I'm afraid.  On Saturday, one of Mark's pets bit him, and he died.

"He was the kind of man reporters love: articulate, friendly and appreciative of media attention."

I'm betting he's not so articulate and friendly any more.

Now, if only we could convince the political equivalents of Reverend Mark to quit handling snakes like Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, we could all avoid getting bit.

Anonymous, I am growing increasingly impatient with your stupid and off topic remarks. Either stick to the subject and have something reasonable to say about it or you are out of here.

what was the subject again? Oh yeah Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are snakes.
Now why didn't I come to that conclusion instead of going off topic?

Because it's my blog, so nothing I say is off topic.

Anonymous, why don't you start a blog, and Green Eagle will happily come over there and treat you to some opinions of his own?

And, ironically enough, Reverend Mark wins the Darwin Award.

Genius. Even if he died the snake would get the blame again... a perfect Biblical circle.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
