Sociopath of the Month

This story's a couple of days old. but I keep coming back to it:

Venture capitalist and Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance spoke on Friday about the “cultural wars” being waged by the left and took aim at politicians without children who “don’t have a personal indirect stake” in improving the country. “And why is this just a normal fact of American life, that the leaders of our country should be people who don’t have a personal indirect stake in it via their own offspring, via their own children and grandchildren,” Vance asked, noting that he was not referring to people who are unable to have children.

There's a certain lack of bASIC humanity in evuidebe here -- it is, after all, ,perfectly normal, and actually considrered virtuous, to care about people whether they're relatives or not.

And I can't help thinking there's something very biblical about this --Old Testament biblical, considering how concerned the ancient Hebrews were with inheritance and bloolines.

At any rate, the man's a jerk.

Vias Joe.My.God.

Vax Wars

I'm trying to figure out how something that used to be a routine heath care measure b,ecame a political football. The anti-vaxxers are making a lot of noise, and to what purpose? The governor of Florida is threatenting fo fine cruise lines that ask passenges for proof of vaccination, and now the anti-vaxxers have started their ownn dating site. And that's just a couple of stories from last evening. I guessit goes back to Trup's stellar reaction when the pandemic first hit -- "It's a hoax!" -- and the fact that his followers will not only believe what they's told, but take it as holy writ. Thans. Trump!

One of the Things

I love about eing a grown-up, is that if you decide you want pizza for breakfast, you can have pizza for breakfast.

Sparrows

One of the ubiquitous parts of city life is sparrows. By "sparrows", od course, I mean the English sparrows that somehow made their way from Europe in the distant past and made themselves at home.(There are native sparrows, but unless you've got a keen eye and a good bird book, they tend to vanish in the crowd.)

What brings this to mind is the juniper bush outside my front door -- at least, it started life as a bush. It's grown intoa bushy tree, about 20 feet high, with very dense foliage -- a perfect place for sparrows to roost at nigh -- sheldter from the elements, high enough to discourage wandering cats and rats.

However, the racket from a flock of sparrows waking up in the morning has to be heard to be believed -- everyone wishing everyone a good morning, taking roll call, who knows?

If

This is about as blatant as it gets"

The Republican chair of Arizona's state House Ways and Means Committee introduced a bill Wednesday that would give the Legislature authority to override the secretary of state’s certification of its electoral votes.

GOP Rep. Shawnna Bolick introduced the bill, which rewrites parts of the state's election law, such as sections on election observers and securing and auditing ballots, among other measures.

One section grants the Legislature, which is currently under GOP control, the ability to revoke the secretary of state's certification "by majority vote at any time before the presidential inauguration."

The Arizona legislature is, of course, controlled by the GOP -- and I'm sure they intend to keep it that way.Another reason to abolish the electoral college. Via Joe.My>God.
