Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

You’ve gotten them out of order, and, depending on household, they were preceded by either Cronkite or Huntley and Brinkley. But yes. Except for Hooterville today’s regime would object to the witchcraft, socialism, misalignment of the social order and Arnold Ziffel getting to vote. Long live Mr Ed.

I’m waiting for Miller to realize there aren’t any seatbelts on any of the Enterprises, not even for those red alert encounters. He will want credit for that and auto pen an EO to have ice cut them out of all our cars. Real leaders of men don’t need them.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Oh the joy of manually dialing the phone, then slamming the handset into the modem cups. Right up there with making decks of punch cards for the nighttime batch runs.

In a lengthy exchange, with ICE Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce, Reps Nadler and Goldman are denied the ability to visit the 10th floor. Joyce says it's not a detention facility it's just a place ppl are housed for several days w/out beds.
