      1. . . . and, don’t forget the meth.

        Hawley’s GOP needs more video-game-playing, porn-watching, Meth heads watching less porn, playing fewer video games — and, most importantly, letting Ttump be their meth.

        In short, “Be like Mike!”:

        [“How bout’ lettin’ me have another snort there, big guy?!”]

         

         

  1. COVID gets redder. Per NYT:

    In October, 25 out of every 100,000 residents of heavily Trump counties died from Covid, more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties (7.8 per 100,000). October was the fifth consecutive month that the percentage gap between the death rates in Trump counties and Biden counties widened.

     

      1. How would we know? 
        I think we’re more likely to see impacts of Covid voter die-offs at the state level, with hospitalizations 5x more likely for unvaccinated people. 
        But it will be a long term trend. Per CDPHE

        Por ejemplo: 

        Mesa County vaxxed 56% – 83 cases per 100,000 people

        Delta County vaxxed 54% –  74 cases per 100,000 people

        Fremont County vaxxed 53% – 108 cases per 100,000 people,

        Denver County vaxxed 86% – 37 cases per 100,000 people

        Jefferson County vaxxed 82%- 43 cases per 100,000 people

        1. Well, this ought to solve the problem of too many people voting for The Yam. The virus and being too stupid to get their shots will take out just a bunch of them.

      2. Demographics are notable, but clearly not the only factor.  But consider:  Biden won popular votes by less than a 3% margin in:

        Arizona by 10,457 (0.31%) –11 EC

        Georgia by 12,670  (0.24%) — 16 EC

        Wisconsin by 20,682 (0.63%)– 10 EC

        Nevada by 33,596 (2.39%) — 6 EC

        Pennsylvania by 81,660 (1.16%) — 20 EC

        Trump's only less than 3% win was North Carolina and its 15 EC, by 74,483 votes (1.35%),

        AT 250 deaths per week in Arizona (the rate for the last month or so), I know which side of demography I'd like to be on in 2024.

         

  2. Over the weekend a new member of our family arrived.  Harriet Tailwagger is a red heeler Australian cattle dog.  Her guardian in Oklahoma is now in a hospice and Harriet, about 50 pounds and 6 and a half years old, misses her.  But she quickly learned to sleep on our bed and loves to snuggle with me on our couch.   She is very smart and loving.  There are still a few good things in this world and most of them say "meow" or "woof."

    1. Congratulations Voyageur ! Dogs are so wonderful. Sounds like a rescue on your part as well, which is awesome.

      Our family had to put our lovable, lovable 15 year old black lab to sleep this summer and we are still healing from that, but around Christmas we are thinking we will go to the Boulder Valley Humane Society and take a look. Its not actually just taking a look…whenever we go we end up taking a furry friend home.

    2. Sounds like you had a good weekend, V. I, on the other hand, did not. Karen ended up in hospital on Friday. She had her gallbladder out early last year, but they left the bile duct in place, so it had kept dripping bile into her abdomen ever since. Friday, it decided to make trouble and she went septic. Off to St. Joe's by ambulance. They cleaned her up and have the infection way down; white blood count almost in normal range. Today she's talking and making sense; which is better than yesterday, when she was clearly delerious.

      1. Glad she is on the mend.  Great that she or you made the decision to take the ride in an ambulance and not put it off as "a stomach ache" or some other minor malady.

  3. Any over/under on whether Moddy falls for this? You have to hand it to them, they gin up the propaganda machine and the sheep come-a-runnin’
