Stalactites look like tights hanging from the ceiling. Stalagmites might reach the ceiling someday.
It’s a terrible mnemonic device, but it works for me.
Stalactites hang tight to the ceiling. The other ones don’t.
(This really doesn’t belong here, but a ‘Smart Republican Idea of the Day’ thread would have woefully few entries.)
Chip Roy, Pubbie from Texas, member of the Freedom Caucus and normally an all-around jerk, must have been drunk or high yesterday when he blasted his GOP brethren yesterday.
“One thing. I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing. One. That I can go campaign on and say we did,” Roy said. “One!”
“Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done besides well, ‘I guess it’s not as bad as the Democrats,’” Roy lamented.
Can’t say I disagree, Chip.
And what has Chip himself done? Anything of note?
Meanwhile, scrolling down below that story gives us an even weirder one:
Apparently it’s suspicious that buses are parked at Union Station. Because GHOST BUSES.
Of course not. That’s for the peons.
He’s loudly suggesting ‘somebody’ should do something so he can get on with his grifting. Same passive aggressive BS when your boss or family member or whoever sadly laments something isn’t getting done while sending significant glances your way. But suggest he could do it himself and then he goes all huffy about how busy he is and how much he already does
Well, Chip, ol’ born-and-raised-inside-the-beltway “Texas” boy, if y’all were willing to make deals with the Dems, who hold the White House and Senate, you could get things done. What you’re really saying is you can’t go home and tell your Deplorables that you have imposed your deplorable will.
Y’see, “Tex”, in a normal world this is where you go and campaign on the basis that “we need Presidency and Senate, too!” Too bad y’all promised you could rule just by being meaner and nastier.
Their tires were made of rubber and their rims were made of steel
Their seats were packed with voters who had surely made a deal
On their way to Philly to stuff that ballot box
He saw those buses rolling, and tried to call the cops
Yippie-i-ay Yippie-i-oh
Ghost buses on
Ghost buses on the road
Why are there so many Republicans in Congress who sounds like deranged winos ranting on street corners?
Maybe that is where the Republican party gets them. Then they dress them up and send them on the campaign trail.
I think maybe, they previously had classes to teach them stuff, but they must have dropped that requirement.
So you’re really tired
And don’t want to fly
Who ya gonna call?
GHOST BUSES! Bussin’ makes you feel ewww!
Ok, not one for the ages.
Brilliant.
OTOH think I’m going to be singing the song this way from now on.
The suspicious part is, I mean, look under them.
Murfreesboro, TN has banned being gay in public.
Seems more evil than stupid.
Idiots did something they shouldn’t really have done. Now they’re trying to weasel out of it, because a contract isn’t really a contract, you know.
Ottawa County borders Lake Michigan, just to the west of Grand Rapids. Probably used to be a really nice place to live.
Paywalled.
I don’t think I have an account on Daily Beast, but maybe I do.
Here’s a different site with that story.
That mess is so stupid. The whole board is motivated by revenge for “illegal” mask mandates. They are a bunch of right wing christian loons. I was reading earlier that they have lost? driven out? the last board members who weren’t part of their “Ottawa Impact” take over.
They are demanding the right to reject modern medicine, and kill people with infectious diseases, based on a 2000 year old religious document. Also, they stupidly enter into a major dollar agreement without checking with anyone with brains first.
I think this will not end well for the citizens. They’re going to die, and pay handsomely for the priviledge.
