Dems Blowing a Great Opportunity to Fuck With the GOP

Just imagine the (even more) chaotic shitmess that would ensue in the Republican Party if Democrats offered to help "save" McCarthy.
House Democratic Caucus Chair Hakeem Jeffries mentioned to CNN that he would release 10 Democratic votes to McCarthy to settle the "nonsense and ridiculousness" that the GOP is putting itself through.
I happen to love the idea. It will never happen. Also today - Southwest ads insult to injury.

By the year 2023 man will be living in colonies on the MOOON!! Or they will be living in underground shelters to escape from the radiation and other humans - or in undersea hotels complete with cocktail bars. That's how a lot of 1950'/60's science fiction started when I was a kid back in 1970. None of that shit came true. Oh well. To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld you go to blog with the future you have, not the future you might want or wish to have at a later time. In that spirit, I'm back to start out 2023 with this resolution - Quality over Quantity. I'm not sure what I mean but that but it sounds like a worthy goal and one which lets me off the hook in terms of quantity. Anyway...on to the news.
