Happy Thursday, if you’re one of the folks out there, you know, eating food today.
We’ve got an ALL-NEW, prerecorded show for you today, with a good mix of intriguing long reads and timely stuff, too.
So, why do I say I’m “on the road” rather than “atoning,” as I usually do for Yom Kippur posts? The answer is that if it’s only 9:00, I’m not yet atoning. Of course, I’m probably not yet on the road, either. But what am I going to say? I’m sitting around waiting to get on the road to atone?
Anyway, yes, we’re on Day 2 of the shutdown, unless something miraculous occurs before air time. (Air) time may wait for no man, but I’m betting this shutdown will wait for me to get back on the air tomorrow.
Today’s countdown numbers:
- Uh… -1 days, I guess (?) until the “legal” funding for what’s left of the US government runs out… again! Sorry, we’re closed!
- 1,206 days remaining in Trump’s legal term of office
- 397 days until the midterm elections, if we have them
- 458 days—if we have those elections—until we seat that new Congress.
Our random country generator says, today’s an unlucky day for: Paraguay!
Ah, Paraguay! Home, in the mind of Donald Trump, to the Paralympics. Guay, in Spanish, means “lympics,” of course.
Why invade? I don’t know. But I do know it’s Joe Biden’s fault. And it’s also because you called MAGA people Nazis.
It doesn’t have to make sense. It just has to make you angry.
Ha ha! Oh, well. That’s Our Trump!™
