She’s got the right attitude.
The blizzard has only just begun, and already our back door is blocked by drifting snow.
We’ll never be able to open that door…wait, I just realized that it opens inwards. Sure, we can open it, but that might be worse.
Trump’s Secretary of Labor, Alex Acosta, may be in some trouble (but then, the only reason you’d be affiliated with Trump is if you’ve something seedy in your past). The Department of Justice is investigating him for his role in the sweetheart plea deal he gave convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein in 2008. Epstein, a billionaire, was known for his patronage of scientists and atheists in the early years of the 21st century, although that was later overshadowed by his habit of picking up young adolescent girls and paying them for sex in his mansion, or on flights on his private plane with famous people.
He hobnobbed with all kinds of celebrities.
He was also known for giving various well-known scientists and atheists free trips around the country, like this flight to a TED talk.
Finally, at least one of his associates, Alex Acosta, may be facing some justice. Although it seems that usually anyone touched by this “person of means” gets away mostly unscathed, so don’t count on it.
Except for the girls, of course. They get scathed and forgotten.
He lies about everything, no matter how trivial.
Despite his citrusy complexion and raccoon-like pale circles around his eyes — like the ones caused by goggles inside a tanning booth — the company line is that it’s all just “good genes,” a senior administration official told the New York Times.
He must think we’re idiots to believe that.
Unfortunately, he’s right about that, at least for 26% of the country.
Here’s who America is cheering for today:
Many of us are also thinking this:
Enjoy yourselves, wherever you fall on the chart. My Superb Owl party will consist of a delicious dinner of pea soup and something on Netflix.
I’m not so sure about all the details (did the dogs consent?), but yes, I want a future where a junior progressive congresswoman can make everyone lose their shit spectacularly.
I know that Florida Man gets all the press, but Minnesota Man is an up-and-comer.
Officers arrived at the couple’s home and found the words “Death Parde God Hell” spray-painted on the front door. A naked Duane Johnson allegedly ran outside and said his wife was dead, then ran back inside to take a bath. He was later found in the bathtub hallucinating and trying to wash white and black “things” from his skin, according to deputies.
Debra Johnson’s body was found wrapped in a sheet the top of the stairs, deputies said.
The newspaper reported that Debra had been living in a nursing home, but Duane checked her out days earlier because she wanted to die at home.
Duane Johnson said they took methamphetamine and she stopped taking her medications. They spent their final hours having sex and “rocked out” to their favorite metal band, Quiet Riot.
He said when Debra couldn’t eat or drink, he used snow to moisten her mouth, according to the court documcents.
Duane said Debra began having convulsions, but wouldn’t let him call police. After she died, Johnson said he washed his wife’s body and wrapped her in linen “like the Bible told me to do.”
They casually mention that he ran naked outside. That was on Wednesday, when it was below -30°C. Florida Man couldn’t do that!
I have to respect their commitment to death with dignity, where they get to decide what dignity means.
