Bill Maher’s last Friday. Wait, his show’s ending? Never mind, misread title:

> Was gonna post this in Cafe Society, but he’s just pissed me off so much that it goes here instead. Sorta like I stupidly did in P+E, Maher ripped into Biden about building a new section of border wall without bothering to acknowledge, not even once, that Congress had been repeatedly asked to rescind the money for the wall, but those jagovs refused to do so. Bad enough that the MSM hasn’t made this clear enough, which should be headline-worthy, but I expected a bit more from Bill, who not only…

> We were recently gifted a sickly stray cat by neighbors who are moving away. We are keeping her in our home and bought a bed for her, which we line with old towels. Even though we brush this sweet cat a lot, the towels get covered by her fur. We want to wash the towels but I have heard that cat hair clogs up washing machines. I proposed washing them at a laundromat – AFTER carefully brushing off as much as the cat hair as possible. The brush does a good job, removing at least 98% of the hair, bu…

Oh great - possibly one of my most poorly-worded-ever posts, and it happens to appear _again_. Great. Well, despite the quick derail, some definite clearing up is in order. (a “mistyped post”, if you will)
Essentially, I immediately acknowledged my blunder, as the posts obviously indicate in that P + E thread that I was referencing, whereas BM kept on and on with with his “Biden bad this time with the border” canard. (heh, I probably would’ve gotten a warning had I dug my heels in in that thread like BM did on that topic last Fri.)

Wow, maybe Congress will learn something from great literature! However, the downfall of Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan is hardly Shakespearean tragedy.
