Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold

Our outside temp is a chilly 39 (F).  According to the forecasters, we're going to be adding an additional 25 degrees onto that in order to reach our afternoon high.  That's doable.  Rain and colder temps are in the forecast.  That's okay.  I honestly don't mind the changing of the season.

And yesterday was sort of a meh... kind of get things done day, and it was odd.  Chores were accomplished.  Yet for the first time in a decade my mind is not looking for an update on the moral degenerate in the White House.  Suddenly, it seems as though there is free space between my ears, so now I have to go back to that time before and beginning filling it back up with wonderous goodies.  Shakespeare said that "revenge is a dish best served cold,"  I understand that implicitly now.  The moment is truly sweet, but as the days turn into weeks things are going to get so much sweeter.  Change is coming.

I took this screenshot of some of our newly minted Senators yesterday with Senator Schumer standing in amongst them.  While they are all so young and vibrant, Chuck looks like an old man waiting for them to hand out cookies.  

As I said to my brother, for centuries the wise old men lived in caves waiting for younger people to come to them for advice.  The time has come for Chuck to settle comfortably in his cave and dole out his wisdom, rather than try and take charge.

Quite a few people seem to feel that Pete Hegseth is going to be impeached tomorrow, on Veteran's Day.  I have no objections to that and the celebrations that will follow.  I did have to chuckle when, after filing the articles of impeachment, Thomas Massie said it was time to get ride of the man who quote Quentin Tarantino thinking a movie screenplay was scripture.  I'm sure Kegsbreth will fight the charges.  I understand that if he gets impeached, he will lose all of his benefits.  That would be a very  good thing.  Hopefully he'll go to jail and not back to Fox Entertainment.

And I saw that after the horrific drubbing the Republican party had in this Blue Tsunami, Josh Hawley is calling for an hour of prayer and fasting on December 15.  Yep, an entire hour.  Right off the bat we know that Schumer won't be showing up, an hour of fasting means they won't be handing out any cookies.

Hoisted on their petards

Good morning America!  We have an outside temp of 50 (F) here in Central PA, with an afternoon high projected to be in the mid 60s (F).  Tomorrow should be a replay of today, but on Thursday showers are going to be moving into the area again.  That means we're in for a temp drop, which is okay by me, we are, after all, halfway through Autumn.  It's about time we started having some fall temperatures.

For the record, yesterday was fun.  I ate too much, as we should all do on our birthdays.  I had some great conversations and ended the day watching The Day After Tomorrow, a movie with great special effects, overly wrought drama, and serious lapses of credibility.  No brainers can be quite entertaining.

Being a techy, nerdish kind of chap I fixed the sticky keyboard with the laptop on my desk by exchanging it with the sporty laptop I used for workouts.  The sticky keyboard is now upstairs.  Things are ducky dandy now.

I don't have to work today.  That's fine.  I'm not scheduled again until Thursday.

And as Maddie said, one of the best presents I received were the midterm elections.  All of us who simply despise the Orange Anus failed to realize that in one way he hit the nail right on the head.  This sums up what I'm saying very precisely.

I don't know what moment I want to cherish most from last week.  Perhaps it's the racist candidate from Mississippi, Cindy Hyde-Smith, slowly suffering defeat by all of those people who voted for a black candidate.  Ramaswamy's loss gets a lot of points, as does Greg Abbott's flat tire campaign.  If you look at the results from Texas, that state is most definitely Blue.  There is so much winning going on for Democracy the joy is almost overwhelming.  Or maybe it's the fact that the Orange Anus in Washington has yet to shriek "voter fraud!"

And it's going to continue.  That bitter old man is going to become so vile.  Every attack he makes will be a razor slash into the skin of the GOP, and nothing is going to stop him.  The line in the meme above about this being a generational loss cannot be anymore precise.  This is why he will not be impeached.  The Democrats are going to let the Republicans hoist themselves on their own petard.  Everything he touches dies, and that includes the GOP, Project 2025, and those stupid enough to believe that God would send someone as evil as him to give them what they want.  The next 2 years are going to be fascinating.
