I was in Britain at the time, though not in Wales.

Judges can throw out a grand jury indictment for serious procedural fuck-ups.

Raptured: Verb, past tense. Someone who has been captured by a raptor after it ruptures you.

I got my booster last Friday, and then started feeling slightly ill on Sunday night into Monday. Hmmm. Last night I said, "damn, did I get Covid three days after getting the vaccination??? Bummer."

Well, the test was negative.

This thing we used to call the common cold seems to have gotten into me somehow ...

Why does Bourbon not agree with you? Is that true of all liquor?

Yeah, Maher was indeed "cancelled" by ABC under fire from the Bush administration. And he was cancelled for saying something arguably correct, that the people who flew the planes into the WTC and the Pentagon may have been scum but they were not cowards.

... and then it's buried under the weight of more scandal.

"We're at the point where Trump does something worse than Watergate daily, often multiple times a day. And none of it makes news; it's just normal now."

One can hold two thoughts simultaneously.

1. Political violence is a problem, not an answer.

2. Charlie Kirk was a totally rotten, bigoted, fomenter of gross hatred ... making millions $$ at it. He was a perfect example of what is terribly wrong with our society.

Whatcha doin today?

Were you eating "children's cereals?
