Just Missed

A sinkhole opened up on Tuesday afternoon in the road a block away from White House grounds in Washington.

DC police said in a tweet that 17th Street NW between C and E streets NW was closed in both directions because of the sinkhole.


A sinkhole formed last summer on the north White House lawn near the entrance to the James Brady Press Briefing Room. The hole was cordoned off, excavated and repaired over the course of roughly a week last May.

God was unavailable for comment, but through a spokes-angel, heaven released this brief message, quoting the deity: "Shit - I guess my targeting system's all fucked up again".

Startin' to get it now?

There's no apparent connection between the Cov Cath presence on the mall last Saturday, and there's probably not much we can hook into NBC's decision to interview the privileged little prick who's the face of the problem, but when that little prick and his gang are invited to a White House where the General Counsel just happens to be a Cov Cath graduate, there's a little too much coincidence on that one.

Cult45 needs desperately to convince us that their "president" is powerful and potent and manly. 

There's no way to get this clown on horseback with his shirt off. And he's way too much of a pussy to go anywhere near a tiger.

So when they create memes for posting on social media, they just PhotoShop the image to make him appear thinner, and to make his fingers look longer.

And ain't that pretty much the whole story on this dickhead?

I get a little queasy a lot lately.


On MLK Yesterday

Tim Wise, at Univ of Michigan:


The Baldwin quote (Jet Magazine, 1965):

People who imagine that history flatters them - as it does indeed, since they wrote it - are impaled on their history like a butterfly on a pin, and they become incapable of seeing or changing themselves or the world. This is where it appears to me most white Americans find themselves - impaled. They are dimly, or perhaps vividly, aware that the history they have fed themselves is mainly a lie. But they do not know how to be released from it, and they suffer enormously from the resulting personal incoherence.


If we want the world to be a better place, the first thing we have to do is to stop insisting that it can't be.

In The Face Of It All


Avery Anapol, The Hill:

The U.S. Coast Guard acknowledged the partial government shutdown and its impact on Coast Guard families as a cutter and crew departed for a multi-month deployment on Sunday.

The Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf and 170 crew members left Alameda, Calif. to support military operations in the Indo-Pacific region.

In a video about the deployment, Coast Guard officials noted that due to the lapse in funding, there has been increased “tension and anxiety” among crew members.

“Our [U.S. Coast Guard] members sail across the world to protect U.S. national interests while their loved ones cope w/ financial challenges & no pay at home,” Coast Guard commandant Adm. Karl Schultz tweeted.
