Biden weighs Ken Salazar for ambassador to Mexico
Sounds like a great job for Ken.
today is National Peach Cobbler Day
Same pig, new lipstick?
Mike Pence launches new conservative organization to advance Trump-era policies
Exhibit A: how MAGA-inspired policy negatively affects everyday Americans.
It's hard to comprehend why a margin of 7 million American voters rejected this mind-numbing bullshit. </sarcasm off>
"conservative policy". What the heck does that mean?
He did use a capital C for what it's worth.
A very telling graphic. It kinda sums it up.
Staff up with the most clueless, inept, and corrupt sycophants you can find . . .
. . . so they’ll prove that government never works.
Not to be overshadowed by Mr. Pence, more MAGAt dreamers and visionaries weigh in on our future: #EternalGrift;
Let's see 20 mil for 40 "employees". Man, that is some first class grifting. Sign me up. Hell, I can make shit up as well as anyone.
Can a press release from the SICF be far behind? (transparency = accountability, GOP-ers)
Sorry Joni. Everyone knows "it ain't the meat, it's the motion."
While Joni screams "SQUIRREL!!! ——->" this is what's actually happening to Iowa's DNA:
Them patriotic Muricans is selling Joni's DNA to China??? . . .
On the subject of meat, have you rural folks seen this? It's nuts: https://coloradotimesrecorder.com/2021/04/pause-animal-abuse-initiative-unpopular-among-veterinarians-ranchers/35756/
Beyond nuts. It's far too easy to get crazy shit on the ballot.
This is cause for a lot of chatter in the 51st-state. I’m certainly pro-animal husbandry but this so poorly written it needs to die on one of those Republican hills the minority keeps referencing.
That said, it’s no less crazy than personhood or secession (an unpopular retort for the coffee shops in Yuma County). To parrot gertie, it’s far too easy to put crazy shit on the ballot.
It looks to me like you could be charged with abuse for putting your hands into a cow to turn a breech calf. Am I misinterpreting something?
That’s right, skinny – and I’ve pulled many-a-breech calves from first calf heifers with my arm in shoulder deep. It’s hard to imagine that I’d face a felony charge saving the life of a calf.
One of my adult ESL students in Ft Morgan used to joke about his many “girlfriends”. His job was to artificially inseminate the cows. You can imagine how this was accomplished.
This has to be a common practice, and other than letting a bull do what comes naturally, it’s hard to see how this gets done another way.
Why the apostrophe, Joni? JFC
Inquiring minds want to know what Sen. Ernst thinks: Would it make a difference if it were meatless Fridays?

Painful, but important, viewing.

The story of the genocide that took place on the island that is now called St.Kitts is tragic. While there on vacation once upon a time, a local told me the story.
To be brief. The French moved onto ( invaded) the north end of the island while the British landed and established a colony on the south end. Neither wanted the other there owing to whatever current war was going on.
The situation was complicated by the presence of more than 2,000 indigenous inhabitants, caught between the two belligerent armies…having invited neither.
The French met with the British, and decided they could not carry on a proper battle in the presence of all those people, who conceivably might get in the way somehow and screw up someones’ battle plan…
So they made an agreement, and working together, killed every man, woman, and child on the island.
Then, with the island cleared, they engaged in proper battle for the island, with the British prevailing. It became St.Christopher…now St. Kitts.
This story was related by a tour guide.
Makes perfect colonial sense,
they could (and did) always ship in enslaved races (who would have no hope, resources, or skills for any independent life isolated in a strange foreign land) from elsewhere afterwords to work and die in the victor’s plantations.
As recounted by Wikipedia, the story is a bit more complex:
Kalinago leader Tegremond became uneasy with the increasing number of English and French settlers occupying St. Kitts. This led to more confrontations, which compelled him to plot the settlers' elimination with other indigenous peoples. His scheme was betrayed by a woman called Barbe to Thomas Warner and Pierre Belain d'Esnambuc. Taking action, the English and French settlers invited the Kalinago to a party where they became intoxicated. When the Kalinago returned to their village, 120 were killed in their sleep, including Tegremond. The following day, thousands more Kalinago were forced into the area of Bloody Point and Bloody River, where historian Vincent K. Hubbard estimates 2000 were massacred after they attempted to surrender.[1] An early account of the slaughter by Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre describes "piles of bodies".[2] 100 settlers were also killed. One Frenchman went mad after being struck by a manchineel–poisoned arrow. The remaining Kalinago fled, but by 1640, those not already enslaved were removed to Dominica.[2][1]

"Tegridy" cracked me up, Dave.
I made a bid on Tegridy but afraid it’s going to be too rich for my blood by 4/20!
I'm a South Park fan, but I've never seen that, Micheal. It's great.

A terrible loss for the industry. RIP, good man.
