The fabric carries the official Harris Tweed trademark, which means it was fully made in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The fleece was sourced from local sheep; the fibers carded, spun, and dyed in the area; and the fabric handwoven in one of the small shacks by local weavers.

 A blog post from the Kung Fu Monkey blog in 2007 about an exploit, or loophole in governmental norms: "The exploit is shame. Our representatives -- and to a great degree we as a culture -- are completely buffaloed by shamelessness. You reveal a man's corrupt, or lying, or incompetent, and what does he do? He resigns. He attempts to escape attention, often to aid in his escape of legal pursuit. Public shame has up to now been the silver bullet of American political life. But people who are willing to just do the wrong thing and wait you out, to be publicly guilty ... dammmnnnn.

We are faced with utterly shameless men. Cheney and the rest are looking our representatives right in the eye and saying "You don't have the balls to take down a government. You don't have the sheer testicular fortitude to call us lying sonuvabitches when we lie, to stop us from kicking the rule of law and the Constitution in the ass. You just don't. What's beyond that abyss -- what that would do to our government and our identity as a nation -- terrifies you too much. So get the fuck out of our way."

Because Cheney's the center of this old blog post, a reminder that some of us saw that the destruction of shame would be a problem twenty years ago, we're not reaping a single thing now that oh so dignified, *respectable* Republicans did not sow decades ago.

In honor of Dick Cheney.

The infamous quail incident. While quail hunting with GOP bigshots, Cheney accidentally shot lawyer 78-year-old lawyer
Harry Whittington in the face.

Cheney never apologized, public or privately.

I thought up this cartoon in a flash of inspiration & burst out laughing.

If you donate $30+ to a food pantry, I will Photoshop a photo of your pet so that it looks like they're doing something seasonal, and you can use it for holiday cards. (It will be obviously but not badly photoshopped.)

It’s not moonshine its β€œunaged bourbon” it’s not being a hobo with seasonal employment it’s β€œvan life” that’s not a trailer it’s a β€œtiny home” it’s not piecework it’s the β€œgig economy” - culture is the thin wedge to make survival strategies of the poor sound like fun fads

The Trump Administration is an assembly of koolaid drinking trolls who can’t see how insane they are. Problem is the press corps actively covers this up and Democrats are too cowardly to beat on it like a drum.

What is the oldest lullaby or nursery rhyme that...
11 upvotes β€’ 1 comment
As far as the earliest we know of, it's another Babylonian tablet, about 4000 years old and most often known as Little Baby in the Dark House. We don't have the music for it, but again, the BBC article has a good go at describing some commonalities of the music that tends to accompany lullabies, so that might inspire you.
The rough translation for that Babylonian lullaby, by the way, is:
Little Baby in the dark house
You have seen the sun rise
Why are you crying?
Why are you screaming?
You have disturbed the house god.
'Who has disturbed me?' says the house god.
'It is the baby who has disturbed you!
'Who scared me?' says the house god.
'The baby has disturbed you, the baby has scared you, making noises like a drunkard who cannot sit still on his stool.
He has disturbed your sleep!
'Call the baby now, says the house god.
