I mean, I feel like I could harm her.

Forget politics for a second.

Yeah, I seem to remember dating her off and on in the ’80s. Nice girl. Not real smart.

1982 — it was a simpler time. She had female pronouns, and that was it.

“I thought we had a deal?”

I never thought this would happen to me, but . . .

My teacher, a widow with a chest enormously too big for her blouse, cascading blonde hair that partially covered her eyes, and pouting lips and demeanor, asked me to stay after class was dismissed, to discuss my writing assignment.

Well, naturally I was intrigued and aroused. She tossed her hair and tossed out some compliments on my writing, as she fingered the top button on her blouse. It was half out — I remember that detail very clearly.

She fiddled with the collar of her blouse — which was also loose — linen on snow-white flesh — crossing and uncrossing her legs, even though this was considerably difficult in a pencil-thin skirt. Her high heels, like her fingernails, were fire-engine red, and in constant motion.

We discussed the assignment, and she sent me home. Reality really bites the big one.

EV Battery Factory Will Require So Much Energy It Needs A Coal Plant To Power It
Cowboy State Daily | 09/22/2023 | Kevin Killough

A $4 billion Panasonic electric vehicle battery factory in De Soto, Kansas, will help satisfy the Biden administration’s efforts to get everyone into an EV.

It also will help extend the life of a coal-fired power plant.

Resource Adequacy Panasonic broke ground on the facility last year. The Japanese company was slated to receive $6.8 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act, which has been pouring billions into electric vehicles and battery factories as part of its effort to transition America away from fossil fuels. { ! }

The Kansas City Star reports that the factory will require between 200 and 250 megawatts of electricity to operate. That’s roughly the amount of power needed for a small city.

…

As a result, the utility will continue to burn coal at a power plant near Lawrence, Kansas, and it will delay plans to transition units at the plant to natural gas.

Because of the way he gets into women’s hair.

Lame joke.

And I don’t mean this post.

I consume various nutrients and alcohol, and emit noxious by-products. Clearly, I am not at net zero, as Greenpeace would define it. But I should be by 2060. Where’s my government subsidy?

McCarthy says he’s ‘happy for’ Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce: ‘I think people get excited’
The Hill | 10/02/2023 | Judy Kurtz

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is indicating he’s against any motion to vacate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s reportedly budding relationship, saying the public is “excited” by it.

. . . McCarthy replied that his inner circle was happy about the matchup and the coupling.

… and his outer circle?

Speaker McCarthy then called for a recess so he could go see Pawnee Bill.

Hey, wild and crazy Moon Nukers!

Did any of you exercise your First Amendment rights on January 6th, 2021?

Ha ha ha! Just kidding. We already know you didn’t. Or you wouldn’t be here.

We were wondering if you could help us out of another pickle.

Our SWAT Team will stand down, while you read this.

Would any of you be willing to take the fall for us, and claim it was your idea to allow Hunter Biden’s laptop to go unexamined for seven years after it was in FBI custody? And to allow Hillary to destroy her hard drives with a hammer?

Congress is getting a little close, and we don’t have Oswalds in the pipeline just now. (This has been cut and pasted. So was Oswald.)

Thanks! No need to drop us a line. Just speak sotto voce anywhere in your house or in your darkened bedroom with that nice dark coverlet you have . Or in your car. We’ll hear you. DamnCat, you’ve got a little stuff on your face.
