Condensation
EnidBuzz asks What’s one thing everyone should have in their junk drawers? Most answers were practical and prosaic. This one is brilliant: $2000. Just in case you need to buy more junk.

SUN!
For the first time in several weeks the SUN is popping out, starting to dry things. Polistra and friends salute the SUN! Reached 49 degrees. I walked without a coat, and the ice cream man is driving around the neighborhood!

Buy or steal?
When a Deepstater apologizes, he never apologizes for his own crimes. He apologizes for shit that happened a long time ago involving people who died a long time ago. It’s always a frameup, and it’s especially easy when the framees are dead. Old thefts are a prime target of apologies. Euros stealing land from natives…

Nerd burglars
Speaking of typical and atypical… Model railroad fans aren’t typical criminals. A young man and woman decided to break into the Railroad Museum in Enid late at night, and stole some model railroad equipment. At one point they looked directly into the security camera, sealing their fate. (Nerds ought to know about security cameras!) The…

The Fog Month
We’ve been in a typical January fog pattern, which is a relief after a windstorm then supercold then big snow. I didn’t realize that 1/3 of the country is also in an atypical January fog pattern. This Iowa meteorologist is keeping track of The Month Of Fog, with maps showing the Dense Fog Alerts, constant…

Hersh is dumb. Or worse.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Seymour Hersh is either hopelessly naive or an Agent Provocateur. Today’s column: = = = = = START HERSH: From Hiroshima to the Houthis, American presidents tend to overreach when they believe they are facing down communism or terrorism, and the world pays the price. … It’s not a…

Couldn’t be Spanish.
I heard the Ripley item about the mysterious Mexican president Comonfort again and got puzzled again. The Ripley audio is unclear, and the announcer didn’t always handle foreign words well. Google filled in the proper name after I typed ‘Mexican president Ignacio C’. Comonfort couldn’t be Spanish. Was it from the native tribes, or a…

Greenwald gets it
… as usual. He sees what Nikki Haley is doing and describes it with a memorable phrase. She’s monetizing her future. Enhancing her job resume as a board member and lobbyist for warmaking companies. = = = = = In fairness, Glenn has a blind spot about Trump. Whether from bias or payment, he can’t…

No more pranks
Gov Abbott of Texas is the only modern Repooflican willing to use effective tactics. He wasn’t as firm as DeSantis against the imprisonment and strangulation of the world, but he’s been remarkably CREATIVE in dealing with the migrant invasion. Dropshipping the migrants to the demonic mayors who claimed to want them was the PERFECT tactic.…

Wot? No beats?

Fed breaks Parkinson!
Jerome Powell is the ONLY problem solver in this fucked former “country”. Everyone else at all levels is manufacturing problems and evils at an exponentially increasing rate. Now Powell has added another achievement: He broke the unbreakable Parkinson. He REPEALED a Federal program! Not quite as big as repealing a whole agency, but still unprecedented…

Inner fog
Thankfully we’re past the supercold and snow, into a typical January period of fog and overcast. Looking at the airport records this morning to see if the fog was starting to let up… It’s so dense you can’t even see outside at all! You can only see inside your head!

Search and replace
BlackVault has been fairly inactive lately. Today he posted an updated set of FOIA documents from the 1950s civil defense fraud. I lived through the fraud, though I was too young to question authority at the time. I’ve been reminded of the fraud by those Natl Assn of Mfrs films I’ve been playing at bedtime.…
