I tweeted this Saturday evening (the date is GMT, not EDT). So far, I can't tell if this tweet has aged too well or not well at all. It's too soon and too on the nose.

If Florida repeals the legislation authorizing the Reedy Creek Improvement District, does that mean that there will be episodes of Defunctland and Yesterworld about it?

I wasn't in a chatty mood last month, so only five short comments, therefore no cut.

My comment on The Completely Predictable Has Happened!

"the horse’s ass having already left the barn, er, Oval Office" — John Mulvaney called Trump in the White House "a horse loose in the hospital." Now the horse is in the hospital, but I don't know if that's funny.

My comment on Prznint Stupid Will Find Those Strawberries.

"Id run-amok Prznint Stupid" — I'm sure we've all heard of his alter ego John Barron. Why have an alter ego when he's unaltered id?

My comment on Feels Good Man: The Movie.

You're also on screen for a couple of seconds.

My comment on FOX NEWS ATTEMPTS AN INTERVENTION.

I read Rove's advice to the Trump campaign and I hear Willy Wonka quietly saying "Don't. Stop." Yeah, Trump won't stop.

My comment on TRUMP MIGHT NOT GIVE UP ON INDICTING BIDEN BEFORE JANUARY.

Turtles are known for living a long time.

Only two more sets of saved comments from the past to go until I fix my laptop.

( Comments from Greer's blog, Kunstler's blog, We Hunted the Mammoth, and Fabius Maximus behind the cut. )

I know this doesn't fit the theme of sustainability in Detroit. It does fit the Nablopomo theme of Fiction and the listing of this blog under politics on the Nablopomo blogroll. Besides, I see the Tea Partiers as obstacles to achieving sustainability. so it's not as off-topic as one might first think.



( First, the e-book version of her book says it's a work of fiction, hence the Nablopomo badge. )

Remember my question from yesterday?

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for today’s Big Deal. Today’s Big Winner can keep the sugar-coated Satan sandwich he just won, or he can trade it in for what’s behind our three doors. Behind one of them is a clean raising of the debt ceiling and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. Behind another is a balanced budget amendment. Behind the third is a sovereign default. So, Big Winner, will you keep your prize, or trade it in for what’s behind Door #1, Door #2, or Door #3? Which do you choose?”

We decided to keep the Satan Sandwich.


Full-sized original here.

ABC News:

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., was quick to condemn the debt ceiling compromise, calling it a “Satan sandwich” because "there is nothing inside this sandwich that the major religions of the world would say deals with protection of the poor, the widows, the children. It’s not in here.” The term was picked up in headlines across the country and even prompted ABC’s "TopLine" anchors Amy Walter and Rick Klein to dive into "Satan sandwiches" of their own on air.
...
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi agreed with Rep. Cleaver’s “Satan sandwich” metaphor, adding the “Satan sandwich” of a debt ceiling compromise probably comes "with some Satan fries on the side.” But, she said, the devilish agreement was a necessary evil. “Nonetheless, it is something that we have to do,” Pelosi told ABC’s Diane Sawyer Monday before the House voted to pass the bill and raise the debt ceiling.

Maybe next time we'll pick what's behind Door #3. In the meantime, bon appetit, and remember to eat your peas!

One of my favorite political sites is the political humor site Hysterical Raisins, which features one of nonnie9999's photoshops nearly every day making fun of (mostly conservative) political figures.  Although I generally post the images from there as comments, I have posted a few entries centered around the images.  To find them, just click on the Hysterical Raisins tag.
