cuban mystery

We just found this in the garage and neither one of us can remember where we got it.

it’s just not interesting

If you want paint-by-numbers status quo “journalism,” Dan Rather and Jorge Ramos are good places to start.

news quadra

Where we went to eat tonight has a nice bar in the back, so we ate at the bar. There are televisions.

One TV had on something called NewsMix, the screen divided into quadrants with the following grand four: CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and BBC.

I had a blocked view of Fox and BBC. CNN spent most of the time on the Federal overturn of the California assault weapons ban with a brief break for Putin. MSNBC had Trump and Trump related on the entire visit. You’d think he was still President.

My subversive reading list saved to Pocket app.

OMG! 😱

peloton

A Peloton is one of those weird exercise things constantly advertised on the TV.

A “pelotón de fusilamiento” is a firing squad.

In South Carolina, if you’re being executed, you now get to choose between the pelotón and the electric chair. 🔫⚡🪑

There’s a shortage of chemicals for the lethal cocktail.  🍹

it’s down 444

Stuff is down this morning in Cuba. I can’t get my morning dose of Granma while on the clock at work.

georgia kia

Big AF Kia plant on the Georgia/Alabama line. There’s another building about this big sitting beside this one. My guess is that it took a buttload of corporate welfare to land this plant out here.

suspicious packages

28 days ago my election influencer kit arrived from the Ukraine.


Today, this one arrives from Krasnodar, Russia. Good stamps!


I’m supposed to take it to the Tiger Mart on Battleground and leave it in the cooler on top of the Klondikes. I hope they don’t mind if a take a couple for my trouble.


It rattles like metal. Might be pipeline parts.

greta

“Greta ” is popular in the USA because America loves a scolding child.

fulfilling those campaign promises

This actually pisses me off more than that Trump mess. 🙄
