Today is Canadian Bacon Day
One of two ingredients for the only kind of pizza 🍕 one should consume.
Pizza don't mean a thing without that anchovy thing.
A guy walks into a pizza shop…
The guy says, "Hi I'd like to order a pizza."
The pizza shop owner says, "Well, I have a pizza 'ere that someone ordered and didn't want, I'll give it to ya for just $3."
The guy thinks for a second, "What kind of pizza is it?"
"It's a pepperoni and anchovies, but I cut myself while slicing the cheese, and then a little clump of my hair fell onto it before I put it in the oven, and then while it was baking, a rat ran into the oven and died on top of it."
The man looked horrified and said, "That's disgusting! ANCHOVIES!?"
Jalapeno and pineapple is my wife's favorite, and epically delicious, but that Canadian bacon looks mighty appetizing as well.
The “Good Neighbor” pizza is jalapeños and Canadian bacon.
AKA, the NAFTA pizza.
I'll eat it at the risk of becoming more polite.
Colorado Secretary of State published the monthly stats on registered voters. From Nov. 1, 2020 (while the election was going) to Feb. 28, 2021, there have been changes by list clean-up (removal or downgrade to “inactive” status) and by request. The changes in overall numbers and percentages of active voters are:
Apparently, elections and actions have consequences.
Really interesting numbers.
Truly.
If 41.84% of Colorado voters are unaffiliated then they could be the plurality party…but as soon as they organize and get a platform…”whoosh” they stop being unaffiliated and become a party.
Muy confundito para mi.
Only about a 10% segment are truly independent. Once you press the so-called independent voters, they all lean Dem or lean Rep, you know who they will actually vote for.
That is why "persuasion" doesn't move many actual voters. A very small number of R's or D's will jump ship.
On the other hand, participation rates are quite malleable. This is what Trump, Brad Parscale and the GOP are working with. Loyalty and fear are more effective than talking about policy.
Voters dislike the two party dominance.
If the left wants to win and govern, or even better: legislate, we will need a vocabulary America currently lacks.
People of all parties love the two party system because when it works, we have an answer. Majority rules – so if a D wins the electoral college, D president. When there is an R majority in the Senate, it is their turn to advise and consent or slow roll the president’s nomination.
We do not have established ways to think about let alone talk about plurality winners. Sanders and King are unaffiliated – but, of course, caucus D.
Would WV voters eat Mancin alive if he unaffiliated? Who would he caucus with?
I have lived in permanent R and hard D parts of America long enough to know they both mistrust and intensely dislike the true unaffiliated. Sixteen years of watching red Colorado become blue and Colorado lacks a 21st century water infrastructure and any plan to get one.
The left should prepare for when the House is 35% not D or R is all I am saying.
Well, Kerry Donovan just went on my shit list

President Biden is in trouble and it feels like he us unaware. Maybe the 3D chess board in the sit room is several steps ahead.
Secretary Austin was a great choice. But I hoped he would be transitional and Biden would more enthusiastically acknowledge that the required time interval between active service and appointment was a good thing.
Not for nothing – bringing back Secretary Mattis (only three years older than Austin) would have been great too.
But I worry more about guys like HASC Chair Smith.
I am all too aware that Senator Wellstone is dead and no longer clearly represented in Congress. But what good is it having D leadership if they do the same thing the R leadership would have done?
My military training (1980 – 2002) tells me that the move now is a crushing disproportionate response to achieve two goals: elimination of the threat while establishing undoubtable military superiority.
America is not on board. We want maskless, wide open spring break and wall street subsidies and cheap oil.
Looks like today the Catholic church wins the Darwin award:

Well- American Catholics or that archdiocese.
The Pope had a different view, and he is the one with the hotline.
