Why do we need to look beyond our borders, and help with what we can?

The world’s troubles do not stay overseas.

My default position hasn't changed. In fact, it may have hardened a bit now that the Epstein thing is really beginning to blow up.

If you can't get your head around the fact that Kid Fucking is quite a bit worse than being in the US without the government's permission, then you're a diseased yak at your favorite daughter's church wedding.

Knowing you voted for Trump

is like knowing you fucked my dog.

You can say you're sorry because now

you realize it was a bad thing to do,

and you'll never go near another dog,

and we can talk it out,

and I might be able to forgive you

so we can move on.

But here's the thing:

YOU'RE A GUY WHO WAS

FUCKING PEOPLE'S DOGS.

So go ahead and prove that you've changed

by working your ass off

to repair the damage you've done.

But stay the fuck away from me.

Sick Fucks

I've tried hard to overcome some of the less-than-worthy residual effects of my breeding and upbringing. I come from dirt farmers in southern Colorado. They settled things outside. They were people who believed strongly in slugging out their differences and then having a friendly beer together afterwards.

I've never liked that kind of fighting, even though I've felt obliged to indulge in it on a few occasions in my 72 years. It just never made any real sense to me. I hit him and my hand hurts - he hits me and my face hurts. You feel bad scared going in, and bad sorry coming out - what's the fuckin' point in any of that? Let's just skip to the place where we're having that friendly beer together.

So I've worked on not letting myself slide back into the mindset that it's just something you do sometimes.

But.

If I ever come across any of these Epstein Class pricks, they're going to sleep.

About That Swamp

Potomac wastewater spill appears to be largest in US history

A wastewater spill into the Potomac River that began last month now appears to be one of the largest in American history.

DC Water, a local water utility, said in a press release last week that part of a sewer system known as the Potomac Interceptor collapsed along the Clara Barton Parkway on Jan. 19. In that same release, the utility said it “estimates that approximately 243 million gallons of wastewater has overflowed from the collapse site.”

On Monday, DC Water said there had been a “significant overflow” Sunday amid a “high flow period,” with some bypass pumps not in service at the time.

Potomac Riverkeeper Network, a local environmental advocacy group, claimed in a Facebook post Wednesday that the sewage spilled had topped 300 million gallons.

Dean Naujoks, who holds the title of Potomac Riverkeeper, told The Baltimore Sun in an article published Tuesday that the only other spill he could compare in size had occurred in 2017 on the U.S.-Mexico border, leaking 230 million gallons.

“The Potomac River is a shared natural treasure, and any event that threatens its health understandably causes concern, frustration, and a sense of loss. Those feelings are not only valid – but they are also shared by all of us at DC Water,” DC Water CEO David L. Gadis said in a Wednesday open letter.

When asked about the scale of the Washington sewage spillage, Gussie Maguire, a Maryland staff scientist with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation compared it to annual sewage spillage in Baltimore.

“The way that I put it into perspective for myself and for people before, is I compared it to annual sewage overflow amounts,” Maguire told The Hill in a Thursday interview. “You don’t really necessarily want to think about it, but there are a lot of sewage overflows going on in any particular year.”

“I follow happenings in Baltimore pretty closely, and their largest volume of sewage spilled in a year. … The largest year that they’ve had in terms of volume in the last — in recent memory is from 2018, and they had right around 260 million gallons over the course of the entire year, or 250.”

Maguire also said the area where the rupture occurred was set for upgrades by DC Water, with the utility having already “allocated over $600 million.”

The sewage spill was “a single event, but the circumstances that led to it are not unique, according to Maguire, who also pushed for a continued stream of money to go to infrastructure upgrades and repairs, calling taking that kind of action, “really, really important, so that we don’t see this sort of large-scale spill become a regular occurrence.”

University of Maryland researchers have said they found levels of E. coli bacteria at a Potomac River site that topped Environmental Protection Agency recreation standards by 10,000 times two days after the Jan. 19 rupture. A week later, according to the researchers, the bacteria levels had dropped to 2,500 times over standards.
