Well, if you're living in Florida, today is going to be Wet Wednesday. Tomorrow, too. Up here in Central Pa, this morning was the briskest so far. A chilly 47 (F). Our high today might reach 66 (F). And, right now, the dogs are still sleeping. Not me, of course. I already have a load of laundry in the washer.
Later this morning, I have a dental appointment. There was a time when I had my teeth cleaned professionally twice a year. As I get older, that's dropped down to one single visit. I have no problem with that. My dentist will, as usual, talk to me about having two crowns and a bridge installed in my mouth. At my age? That ain't gonna happen.
And, even later this morning I will call and make an appointment for someone to put in a washer hook-up in what used to be a walk-in closet. Not that it isn't going to be a walk-in anymore. Things are just going to be re-arranged.
Yesterday, Ronnie DeSantis had an excuse of a presser to tell the world things were moving well ahead of Ian, making sure to emphasize that Biden hadn't talked to him. At that time, Ian was expected to weaken. That smarmy assed loser should have realized Ian had something else in mind. Overnight Ian has strengthen to a very strong Category 4 (nearly a Category 5) hurricane. The current forecast has him smashing into the state south of low lying Tampa and then slowly heading north through the center of the state. Suddenly, this morning Ronnie had praise for the White House. The fact that Ian might possibly tear Florida in half probably has a lot to do with his change of attitude. Three hours ago, he had a sustained wind speed of 155 mph. There go the mobile home parks.
For those who didn't catch it, Frankie Graham had a meltdown regarding one of his beloved anti-abortion protestors. You see, this loser was arrested for breaking the law, and Frankie believes Christians are allowed to do that. The Cracker Jack Crazies are blowing this way up and out of proportion because they believe they are special. Can you even begin to imagine how frenzied they'll be in November if the Democrats win enough seats in the Senate to bypass the filibuster and pass a women's health care law? Frankie's brain might just implode.

Twitter wingnuts went crazy over a Christian man with seven children being arrested, as though, what? Christians and fathers don't commit crimes? FOAD.
ReplyDeleteI don't like DeSantis, but he actually came out yesterday and thanked Joe for his help ahead of the hurricane. He's still a fuckwad, but he did say Thanks ... finally.
Most of the Cracker Jack Crazies saw the arrest as an attack on their beliefs more than anything else. And Ronnie? I suspect his niceties were more the result of wanting to be re-elected than anything else.
DeleteI actually heard DeSantis yesterday tell people to "head for higher ground". Has the man ever actually been in Florida? Or was he advising people to leave the state. You can stand on one coast of Florida and look across to the other coast with an unobstructed view except for fancy hotels and million dollar condo towers.
ReplyDeleteAs for Frankie and his exploding head. Could not happen to a more deserving fellow. Just be careful to not get any on yourself.
I'm waiting for him to blurt out some inanity like "run for the hills!" Frankie will never accept that things evolve, and those that don't, like certain religions, will die off.
DeleteI dropped my dental appointments to just once a year too - figured I must be doing something right after no problems all these years!
ReplyDeleteAt my age, if my teeth begin to fall out, I'll probably buy cheap dentures, though I doubt very much if that will happen.
DeleteThis is not the time to be political during a disaster of this size. It's going to be bad. He has no decorum...morals...class or how to act like a gentleman or statesmen. He should take a hint at how. Ex Gov Christie and then president Obama worked together to get a swift action plan in place for before and after. If we're lucky....maybe he'll get sucked up in the winds and washed out to sea. For that.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if he'll get as chummy as Christie; many Republicans never forgave him for that and his political career was pretty much over. They would rather die on their own.
