For the big GQP Foundation Breakfast in Georgia in a couple weeks, Malaprop Taylor Greene was recently announced as the headliner, further rivening what looks like a major schism between “somewhat older school” Republicans and the increasingly psychotic state party. > **[Shunned by top officials, Georgia GOP pivots to Marjorie Taylor Greene](https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-blog/shunned-by-top-officials-georgia-gop-pivots-to-marjorie-taylor-greene/LLULDBBC2NEEVMXHOXHGPUX3YI/)** > > As Gov. Brian Kemp and other top Republicans distance themselves from the Georgia GOP, the state party is moving to the far right for a significant upcoming event. So is a Foundation Breakfast like a National Prayer Breakfast? ---

[Curious story about some person who](https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kb55b/qanon-postcard) mailed out a passel of postcards with a Q-ish message on them. The cards went to homes in parts of New Hampshire and Massachusetts using EDDM saturation: no addressing, just every door in the zips.

Yeah, it sounds as though it’s trying to imply “Don’t suggest I’m crazy, because I have a lot of money so I must be sane and smart!” ---

No, Paladino is correct, he just misunderstood the purpose of the “Special Mount” he got at level 5: ##### Special Mount ([Sp](https://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#spellLikeAbilities)) Upon reaching 5th level, a paladin gains the service of an unusually intelligent, strong, and [loyal steed](https://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/paladin.htm#thePaladinsMount) to serve her in her crusade against evil. This mount is usually a [heavy warhorse](https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/horse.htm#warhorseHeavy) (for a Medium paladin) or a [warpony](https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/ponyWar.htm) (for a Small paladin). ---

Someone, somewhere, opined that she was dictating her tweets, and that the voice-to-text was coming up with these wonderful lines, and that MTG was either too lazy to check / correct, or possibly too stupid to know that they were wrong. I’m going for the too lazy, fully knowing that her constituency won’t know the difference, and probably think the “mondegreen” version is correct anyway. ---

Only problem is the latest dipshit move was her going on a rant and she clearly states that her rights are being fragrantly violated. Not in a tweet. I can certainly believe she is dictating her tweets since she probably has the spelling skills of a four year old. But, I’m guessing the dictation is pretty much spot on. The Gazpacho Police are investigating all her fragrant violations of the English language. ---
