So scent can escape. Simi has gotten really good. There can be a dozen oil drain pans scattered in the yard. One pan has a q-tip with a drop of scent. He will search the pans and signal when he finds the one with the q-tip. ---

Just buy a box of 1,000 q-tips from Amazon. No need to have a dog find them for you. ---

A couple of houses have “Trump” signs in the yard and they have cameras on inside their houses pointed at the signs. They’re just Itching for somebody to try to do something to their signs. ---

CBS… and Face The Nation: What A Joke Letting Sen Tom Cretin… I mean Sen Tom Cotton… vomit up lie after lie w/o fact checking him once? Without cutting his mic between lies to force him to see/face the actual facts and maybe to jam his lies back down his vacuum-hose sized throat? Letting your toddler babble is one thing, but he’s supposedly an adult. Force him to Be one. ---

My understanding is that the Vice Presidential debate coming up this week, which CBS is also hosting, will be free of fact-checking on the part of the moderators. Candidates are expected to provide their own fact-checking. Which means Vance is just going to be lying his ass off in rebuttal to everything Walz says, with no consequences. CBS News has been pissing me off for a while now, ever since Leslie Stahl, who lobbed softball after softball to Trump in multiple interviews while he was president, suddenly decided to be a tough ass hard-as-nails journalist when she interviewed a visibly shaken Nancy Pelosi on January 8 2021. Wait, what thread is this? September mini-rants? Yeah I guess this is OK here. ---

Indeed, Vance will get curbstomped with fact-checking the following day. A lot of ignoroids who watched the debate may miss out on such a follow-up, but a debate moderator’s fact-checking would’ve gone in and out of said troglodytes’ ears most likely anyway. ---
