Two lovely paybacks to brighten your morning:
Ted Nugent caught a nasty case of COVID.
MyPillow guy got pranked on-air by a fake Trump. 😁
Ooh, and Giuliani is taking hydroxychloroquine for his COVID infection. That’s schadenfreude with extra sprinkles. https://www.thedailybeast.com/rudy-giuliani-reveals-hes-taking-hydroxychloroquine-to-fend-off-covid-19
People like Nugent and Lindell just keep the celebration of stupidity going, demonstrating how easy it is to brainwash a substantial portion of our population.
On my deathbed, I will beg the spirits for every minute back that I spent listening to Nugent in the 70s, before I knew anything about him as a person.
I still maintain Nugent hasn't had a hit since the Horst Wessel Liad. (The Nazi Party anthem. It had lyrics like "When Jewish blood is on our daggers, then Germany will be free." )
I'm rooting for the virus on this one.
“Journey to the Center of the Mind,” released in 1968 by Ted and the original Amboy Dukes. Great song. I think I may have the 45 rpm record in my small collection of same.
I believe this is a real quote from the Nuge: “You know, I guess I would ask you, because I’m addicted to truth, logic and common sense, and my common-sense meter would demand the answer to why weren’t we shut down for Covid one through 18?”
…says the Einstein that shat his pants for 10 straight days to avoid the draft 😂 #hatriot
Out of curiosity, I went a-googling. Here’s your verification on that, 2Jung: https://www.newsweek.com/musician-ted-nugent-ask-why-there-wasnt-lockdown-covid-1-18-1582497
Ouch, so the dead people didn't die either. Cat Scratch Fever, on the other hand, was an actual pandemic.
Today is Lima Bean Respect Day
I don't respect Lima beans. I love them. I have a pot in the fridge right now. Soak them overnight and cook them with a leek and bok choy, plus carrots, celery, garlic and mushrooms. Serve with raw, chopped onions.
A bit of meat is optional. They are fabulous for diabetics like myself.
Take a bow, Dave. You hit a home run.
Growing up, I lacked ANY respect for lima beans, mainly because they appeared on the family dinner table as something out of a can called veg-all, advertised as "a delicious blend of seven different vegetables:" CARROTS, POTATOES, CELERY, SWEET PEAS, GREEN BEANS, CORN, LIMA BEANS.
Like nearly all of those vegetables, fresh lima beans are a world apart from those picked and canned and later served without great imagination.
Veg-All, the result of scraping the bottom of each pot in the factory and putting it in a can. There is a rumor I've heard for years that Rocky Road is the Veg-All of ice creams.
Personally, I prefer Rocky Road candy bars.
So true. In a hurry I will sometimes us e canned Great Northern beans. But limas– and, yeah, I hated them as a kid too — have a delicate flavor and deserve proper preparation. While it takes a while to cook them, you just basically let them simmer while doing other things.
And may I offer a paean to homegrown brussel sprouts. I spent most of my life pushing them away or nibbling grudgingly because “they’re good for me”🙄.
Then I grew some. They were delicious, without the bitterness I have come to expect.
Almost any fresh garden grown vege is great. Alas, my tiny 62.5 by 50 capitol Hill lot gives little chance for that. Tha nk goodness for farmers markets.
It’s also the high holiday, 420. Don’t forget to set out brownies and raw, organic milk for Willie tonight!
Willie is a national treasure. Love it !
My Cat and I are well into enjoying this frubjious day.
Still aiming for that day when we get together. Happy 4/20, my friend!
You and your cat are at the top of my list for the next time I climb the mountain!

Republican math is an enigma. Can the Denver housing market absorb 100 million new jobs?
A dollar here, a job there … sooner or later you are talking about
This reminder brought to you by Citizens for Voting as the best form of Term Limits.
Today's GOP explained by Max Boot (seems pretty obvious, but it still works):
Some of the best news I saw all day, from the Sentinel.
Anyone get on Boebert’s town hall yesterday? She timed it for when most “ libs” wouldn’t be paying attention. I saw it on Twitter, but didn’t have a chance to post.
