omg, the pie fight.

so, i loves me some old movies. a major factor in surviving my divorce was the fact that it was feb, 30 days of oscar. weed, chocolate and oscar got me through the worst month of my life.

thanksgiving weekends on tcm always have a gem that i most certainly saw, either in the theater, or on the teevee, but have long since forgotten.
i have little more memory of a lot of them than might have been gleaned from media at the time. i would have judged them whether i had seen them or not.
none are unfamiliar.

sometimes i have tcm on as background noise, esp on the weekends.
holiday weekends moreso.

so, today it is 'the great race'
i must have seen it. it is filed under silly shit.
i leave it on.

i immediately realize i have no recollection of the feminist subtext.
so, i am surfing, but i have one eye on it.

the production values are fantastic, and the cast is all star.
there are many sight gags, and a lot of mad max meets benny hill.
chuckles are had.

but oh my, natalie wood. i'm dead here.

and the pie fight. what fun that must have been.

happy turkey day, y'all.

"rudy is an anti-corruption warrior" "he has many other clients" translates-

rudy has a portfolio of peddling doj help to rich felons all over the world.
he has a nose for rich, corrupt assholes that we can bribe and blackmail.
he has my complete support and cooperation, including providing official acts and presidential ceremony.
he has the help of my justice dept, he can troll their files for marks.
he has contacts, political hacks, in the doj, who can arrange for the little things, like slowing down extraditions, slow walking charges, assignment to the "right" judges.
he has a list of shady dealings of mine, so that he can keep an eye out for someone who can lie for me in court.
and of course, he knows who my opponents and enemies are, and has brought me a lot of good dirt on them so far.


rudy who? is that a bus i hear revving up?

does anyone mix anything w their flower?

i'm a mmj user, tho a long time toker. but i have asthma, and smoking straight weed makes me cough. for some reason, mixing it w tobacco helps a lot. which is how i started smoking cigarettes.
been trying to quit tobacco, but having something to smooth the weed, which i smoke more if i'm not smoking cigs, and yeah.

gonna try a little dried mint, which i have smoked in the past, and enjoyed.
but wondered if anyone else has any good ideas.
anyone else dealing w throat issues and coughing?

vape isnt much better, btw. at least for the first several tokes i cough, tho after that it falls off.

can joe work w the thugs? he can prove that right now.

if he is not twisting the arms of his old colleagues, he damn well better get started now.
if he cant slap some sense into lindsey graham, i give him zero points on this score.

same goes for any of the other candidate. show us you can lead NOW.

a thought about subpoenas and scotus. correct me if i'm wrong.

first i will say that i predict scotus will duck quite a few of these shit bombs. what they take and what they duck should be interesting.
that said, i think they will take a couple of them, just to explain the constitution to the idiot king.
i think subpoenas will be one.

now, correct me here, but once they swat the first bit on nonsense falls, they all fall.

kaboom. just in time for the senate trial.
maybe sooner.

does anybody have specifics on what is headed up and how close it is?

are the rise in corporate control of govt and the rise in insane partisanship related?

it just sorta popped into my head that the 2 share a timeline.
i mean, the whole kabuki around the parties seems to fit together well w their hidden agendas and dark money.

am i crazy?

could use some help shooting down scott adams.

i have a trumpkin in my life who pretty much hangs on scott adams every word.
i have absorbed a couple of brief snippets, and my ears started bleeding.
he was blathering about how common it is for large numbers of people to believe things that arent true.

failed predications particularly appreciated, as this seems to be part of his draw.
good twitter critics also good.

please spare me looking at any more of this dreck than necessary.

xpost from cooking and baking-

thoughts on mushrooms as meat substitute.
had a long convo about my farm over the weekend, and someone suggested to me that if i could make a dehydrated mushroom that tasted like pepperoni, i could be rich. lol.

but srsly, there is apparently a great deal of interest in kosher meat alternatives for pizza.
anybody have any thoughts on this?
