Ted Cruz received a warm New York welcome at Yankee Stadium last night.
Well, most of those boos were probably due to him representing as an Astro’s fan and I presume a general disdain for Texans in general in NYC.
Ted’s general level of likeability (-45 the last I checked) certainly played into it.
I had just finished reading some of today’s comic strips when I noticed a headline:
That’s about the Durham probe, of course.
It certainly doesn’t measure up to anything by the standard set by the Manchurian Cantaloupe, whose oeuvre includes enough crimes of the century to span the gap from the founding of Harappa to the founding of Mars Base 1.
Ted appears on The View. They had to suddenly go to commercial with everyone looking rather nonplussed about something shouted from the audience.
Well, Whoopie is looking rather pleased with the turn of events, that’s true.

I don’t know if I can offer some consolation with an old picture, but you have those, we have these:
He is wearing Germany’s 1990 soccer national team top and a famous pre-pissed… ehh… something during riots against immigrants in Rostock-Lichtenhagen 1992. Some things never change, wherever you go. Bad Männer.
Schadenfreude? He died 2006. And he got his own wikipedia article in German. Don’t know who the other Scheisskopf is.
I remember having seen a documentary about him and the Rostock riots in which he was interviewed (sitting at his kitchen table, drinking beer from a can) and insisted that on the car ride to Lichtenhagen, he had been so drunk that he had spilled beer over his pants, so no pissed pants. That was the struggle of his miserable life, to deny that he had pissed himself on a ride to a xenophobic pogrom where he was inclined to show the nazi salute. What a miserable, wasted existence.
Are you better off than you were two years ago?
Two years ago we were using refrigerator trucks as makeshift morgues.
My current president does not fill me with shame and rage at least.
Two years ago I was unvaccinated. Doing objectively much better now, yes, thanks for asking, Ted.
Server her right.
She is more on the “mark” end of the spectrum than the “grifter” end.
I liked this nugget in the story:
In late September, Greene’s husband filed for divorce, citing that the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” Greene and her estranged husband, Perry Greene, jointly own many stocks, which could complicate the divorce proceedings. An Insider analysis previously found Perry Greene invested hundreds of thousands into corporations that openly champion social causes Marjorie Taylor Greene opposes.
By the way, how do you get a gift link to a story? I see it requested sometimes but I’m not sure how to do it.
For NYT and Wapo (the two services I pay for) you have to be a paid subscriber, and you click on a little gift box icon in the article to get a link you can copy and paste. Typically, you have a certain number, like 10, you can give away per month.
I don’t know how it works for other site, but I assume it’s similar.
Danke!
Set to “marge” with Trump’s “Truth Social”? That’s one hell of a typo!
It’s heart-warming when they turn on each other. Apparently there are two Republicans running against each other for the Alaska Senate seat and Alaska Republicans want to censure McConnell for supporting Murkowski even though she is the incumbent.
I am no McConnel fan but this line of thinking is ridiculous. Individuals and parties have the right to support whomever they please, even if that person is a batshit lunatic (who hopefully will lose badly at the ballot box). Having a differing opinion is not some crime that requires censure outside of Orwell-world. Even in Russia they come up with some other plausible-sounding offense before imposing sanctions.
Friend, we just suffered four years of a batshit lunatic in office. Why do you think such a condition would cause someone to lose a republican race?
