I came here for a Mccarthyite smear and all I got was this lousy podcast...
There really does seem to be a similar feel to the news right now to when the wheels were coming off of the Bush administration, and this time they've managed to make it stupider and scarier.
Politics and news have indeed drifted off into the "requires self care" zone, and while I'm not an observer of Lent, I have been leaning heavily on music, like I do, and taking daily walks up to the dam on the old mill pond to hang with the geese and duck.
In fact, I seem to have run out of cats to send you pictures of (although I have a sinister plan to obtain images of Squeaker's family down at Cypress Auto) so perhaps I'll send you a photo of a seriously bold Canada goose who walked right up out of the water and let Briana take his picture. He's not exactly a pet, but I do see him pretty much every day, while the weather holds.
As I'm typing this, Briana is listening to Fergus lie his fool ass off about the coronavirus situation, and he really sounds like someone held him down and injected him with a high dose of valium before he began said lying. So there's at least that.
Thank you again for the podcast. I'm gonna go for my walk up to the mill pond now, as it's sunny outside, and as much as it has been helpful to me, the goddamn lack of precipitation here in January and February is looking very much like the drought has returned.
Oh, yeah, climate change is still out there just buggering away at our future as residents of a habitable planet.
God it felt good to vote for Elizabeth Warren by mail last week.

CBS did a horrible job with the SC debate. They lost control, they had a lot of goofy questions. They aimed at conflict from their questions instead of what differences rose naturally.
But, At least SC had the debate before they voted. Nevada had already about a third of the voters cast ballots before the debate took place.
They sure hype SC primary as if Biden wins it. He won it all. How they will give Biden free media time if he wins.
I expect SC to reelect Sen Graham. AFter all the primary interview talk. Can anyone tell me when the last time a Democratic presidential candidate won SC in the General election?
I think Nevada is more imprortant because it is a state that can be won in the General.
So when SC speaks with their primary vote. It will mean little in the general. matter of fact, SC, I expect will vote for Trump, GOP. For all the wrong reasons.
I am not saying to write off SC. Democrats should definately compete there.
The way it is being projected in the primary is that If Biden wins big in SC, everyone should therefore fall in line with Biden and the primary is over. That Biden will win big in the General election verses Trump. I do not see it.
You know if Sen Graham is leading in his reelection in the polls, that is a sad omen.
