Well, this hardy Canuck makes do with a Bloody Mary. Mainly because a Caesar makes him heave his guts. Something about the clam juice. Hell, I organize the over/under at the local racetrack on race days, as to Bloody Caesars made at the bar. Usually, my book balances, and I make a slight profit besides. What is it with Canadians and Caesars anyway? ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > What is it with Canadians and Caesars anyway? They have a fine, rich taste (Caesars, I mean šŸ˜‰ ) and when made to oneā€™s personal preference they have just the right degree of endorphin-releasing spiciness. Plus thereā€™s no end of ingredients you can add to this iconic drink, like horseradish or various hot sauces, or, as The Keg does, a skewer of hot peppers. The tomato juice and the clam juice both contribute essential nourishment and vitamins. Indeed, one thing Iā€™ve learned is not to order a Caesar at a restaurant before dinner, because it fills you up with its goodness and reduces the olā€™ appetite! šŸ™‚ Thus Caesars are more appropriate at non-meal times, as illustrated by Jesus in the picture above. The Creator of the Universe is obviously watching a typical after-dinner evening game. The bowl beside the glass of Caesar might contain popcorn, potato chips, fries (not poutine!) or, since He is the Son of God, maybe roast cashews with sea salt. ---

The tomato juice and the clam juice both contribute essential nourishment and vitamins. Indeed, one thing Iā€™ve learned is not to order a Caesar at a restaurant before dinner, because it fills you up with its goodness and reduces the olā€™ appetite! šŸ™‚ I was going to link to a YT clip of the epic Caesar-making contest on an episode of Letterkenny a couple seasons ago, but shockingly, a clip does not seem to exist. The ep is worth a lookup if you have streaming access. Now, back to the schadenfreude. Apparently trump recently accused Nikki Haley of a bunch of lies that are normally attributed to Nancy Pelosi. I guess itā€™s hard to tell whether trump is suffering from incipient Alzheimerā€™s or whether heā€™s just dusting off a stock set of false allegations and using them against Haley, because the truth just doesnā€™t matter. One can only hope itā€™s the former. Donā€™t get me wrong, I would not normally feel schadenfreude at the possibility of someone having dementia, not even someone as awful as trump. But I have a theory that, assuming that he may be coming down with incipient dementia, heā€™s at least partially responsible for doing it to himself- he has such an absolute disregard for the truth that I think it may have affected his very grasp on reality. Not a scientific or medical diagnosis of course, but willfully and repeatedly denying reality to others canā€™t help your own grip on it. > **['He's aging very fast': 'Deeply confused' Trump slammed for blaming Nikki...](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-blames-nikki-haley-jan-6/)** > > Donald Trump on Friday was skewered online for apparently confusing Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi, resulting in the ex-president blaming the former for the events of Jan. 6.Trump was delivering remarks in Concord, New Hampshire, on Friday, when he... ---

From the previous link, said by a former Obama adviser: > ā€œIf Joe Biden has done this [mistaken Haley for Pelosi in a speech], it would lead every newscast in the country.ā€ Yes, because that would be news. Biden habitually doesnā€™t make these kinds of mistakes, quite the opposite. Unfortunately, when the Great Ass Trumpet garbles something itā€™s not news because it happens many times every day. Whatā€™s hypocritical is that the behavioral trend itself is not more in the news. ---

Iā€™m not recalling the names of any of those three ā€“ Powell, yes ā€“ but since Trump goes through lawyers like Kleenexes this is not surprising to me. Iā€™ll have to dig up Legal Eagleā€™s grading-the-lawyers video to see if any show up there. ---
