The Dumb Quarter

 Top ten States in new Covid cases:

It's always the same part of the country.  Ever notice that?  I bet you did.  I've said this for years, but I still believe it:  the worst thing that ever happened in the history of the United States is when we won the Civil War.  Why didn't they have the sense to just dump these people and their hateful States into the ocean?  Oh yeah, I guess they had their Joe Manchins and Kristen Sinemas back then too, who were sure the slavers were only a few short days away from totally turning away from evil.

I call it our internal Third World. That area is always a few decades behind. Although in the case of figuring out vaccines, it's more like a couple of centuries.

I wonders what's up with Alabama - are they 11th?

I kind of wondered that too. Really, Alabama, you worked for a couple hundred years to establish your well earned reputation as the home of the dumbest motherfuckers in the country. Are you going to squander it all now, just when being dumb is so in?

Worth recalling: In 1860, the majority of people in South Carolina wanted an end to slavery. This is also true of Mississippi. (The majority of people in both of those states were enslaved Black people.)

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.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
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

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 that worked so we
