You could hear a cricket fart in here this morning. Pfruit, are you OK?
Where is Barnes and his daily report on whatever Day-of-Celebration-or-Recognition it happens to be?
He probably in a sugar coma after consuming Pfuit’s Loops this morning, thinking he was getting 12 grams of fiber when he was really consuming 12 grams of sugar.
I eat very little sugar because my A1C is too high.
Actually, table sugar has a Glycemic index of 68, in the moderate range.
I had the unfortunate opportunity to hear Katie Lehr give her campaign stump speech for House District 49. She reminded me of Nurse Rached in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. She was exploiting an overdose death in her family for political power by proposing that every drug addict in Colorado be locked up because punishment is the path to salvation. She didn't say how she would pay for these increased incarceration costs but did proclaim in grievous outrage that Democrats want school children to be able to get 'Rainbow Fentanyl'. Ugly person with no experience or realistic solutions. House Rep. Judy Amabile is ten times the better candidate. Go Judy.
Oy. Thanks for the report, man. Sitting through that shit was way above and beyond the call.
Because mass incarceration in the US has worked so well?? Geezuz…
When profit is your driver for incarceration you know it isn't going to end well for the general population. There's hope now that adults are in charge.
"punishment is the path to salvation"
According to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, death in glorious battle in Mother Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is the path to salvation.

That would be the message from Patriarch Karill, — and worth recalling that Karill's father apparently baptized Putin.
And for what it is worth … Karill ought to be using some of his gains for multi-dimensional geometry lessons, as his 3 or 4 billion fortune may make his future more challenging.
"That would be the message from Patriarch Karill, — and worth recalling that Karill's father apparently baptized Putin."
Did the old man burn his fingers when the three 6's materialized on Putin's head?
It may be a bad omen for her that Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) died Monday.

Today's very local post – Thoughts on Homelessness & the Louisville City Council
We had some brief posts about crime this week. Here is an interesting opinion on the rural crime wave – it’s not just an inner-city issue.
Who’s to blame for the rural crime wave?
Methodolgy matters, too. Those crime reports are what gets into the Uniform Crime Reports, and its new and improved edition called the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). But not all crime is reported into the system. Recent assessment: "NIBRS represented an important step forward in the measurement of crime recorded by law nforcement. However, despite providing an improved source of crime data, NIBRS has been hampered by lack of participation among law enforcement agencies."
how much "lack of participation?" "For the 2021 data year, about 12,700 law enforcement agencies representing 66% of the U.S. population provided NIBRS data."
Any guess which 34% was at the forefront of not contributing data?

Oh, the humanity….
You nailed it earlier LBWPOS: this is a venegeful, black, gay female God sending DeSantis a message.
Let's hope it doesn't shift right and hit Mississippi. Then it'd be Bennie Thompson's problem and he's on the side of the angels.
It would have to shift left to hit Mississippi — and that isn't in ANY of the model forecasts.
On my way home, I heard NPR trying to make a big deal out of DeSantis not talking to Biden personally. FEMA administrator Criswell said it didn't make a difference – FEMA would be providing what DeSantis asked for.
"……that isn't in any of the model forecasts."
Trump could come back with his map and Sharpie. Just sayin'.
I'm a dope. I know I can't post while I'm cooking.
