If the GOP loses the midterms, Squeaker of the House Johnson can still 1)ask the House clerk to refuse to list the new delegates; 2)fire the clerk who refuses and replace with a MAGA shill. If that fails, he can refuse to seat the new delegates or refuse to declare the House in session.

About that GoFundMe, I have severe chronic arthritis. It's difficult and painful for me to get out of a regular chair, even a recliner. I'll be 82 in a month, so I'm not likely to get better or have surgery. All help much appreciated!

Gwen and I are sending our condolences to Queen Sonja and her family as Norway mourns the loss of King Harald V. Minnesotans are proud of our longstanding ties with Norway - and we wish Norwegians peace in this time of mourning.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

The assorted rightwingers who thing the Odyssey movie isn't "true to Homer" obviously have no idea of what "Homer" really was and what was actually in the Odyssey. Hint: it starts with O. already marooned on the nymph's island.

It begins with Telemachus. The actual Odyssey is one of a number of epics called, IIRC, the "Nostoi" or "homecomings" of the warriors in the Iliad. The Odyssey is the only one that survives. We know about the rest from references in other works and the litcrit of Rome.

Thinking about how Osprey, a publishing house almost entirely devoted to publishing military uniform/equipment fetish material disguised as dry but picture heavy non-fiction tomes, put out a book dismantling the right wing mythologization of Sparta with an absolute all-timer table of contents.

He should have gone to prison for pressuring Brad Raffensperger to “find” 11,780 votes. That’s the very definition of election interference. We all heard the call.

It’s crazy to me that so many news outlets are accepting that McConnell “proof of life” photo as proof of life, without questioning the very real issues with it. I need video evidence and a doctor’s report.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Wow! Iran left a thank you note in their locker room thanking LA for its hospitality during the World Cup. Be sure you read the last line: “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.” (Source: Reuters)
