Here's one of my favourites,

Sharp Dressed Man

But, i will be late to the party tonight ... have a dinner date ... with my uncle, so ...

Feel free to get the festivities going early and I'll be there around 10-ish ... I hate cooking when it feels like 40 degrees celsius.

Setting aside the l-o-n-g discussion about which vaccines the Trump administration can take credit for and whether any of the Biden administration's vaccine campaign planning and execution was based on the prior administration's 'building blocks', it's been clear since 21 January that the Republican Party at the national level and in the states believes that 'culture war' issues will lead them to victory in 2022.

It will be interesting to see how many voters next year will be convinced by bans on transgender athletes, 'Stop the Steal' propaganda, and CRT-BLM-Antifa fear-mongering.

Of course, their message may entirely irrelevant: more than one fortune-teller predicts the Republicans will win the House merely through redistricting.

Hilarious and perceptive. Thank you for the pithy observation.

THE FOUR TOPS

It's 2328 in Ontario. She's probably toast. Ah well, somebody has to play at least one

Canuck song.

Harumph. MtnCaddy is leaving the building!

MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME

The Who

QUADROPHENIA

Recent faves, it is.

Oh, there will be Canadian music - that is for sure, for sure!!! :)

As for what I'll be contributing, unless someone requests another theme or focus ... it'll be tunes from the cds I've been listening to, recently.

That's CW's point in TP#3.

Oh, do you mean the Sunday Canadian* Music Appreciation Party
*and other countries

Besides, the obvious solution is to surround 'em with Antifa and BLM folks. Save taxpayer dollars! Compelling TV!

Say, five officers for every planned attendee -- that seems about right to me."

Or, ten! I couldn't possibly agree more - I'm almost hoping it happens. But, not really.

The select committee will be looking into all of this, right? Not just what happened on Jan 6 but ALL that led up to it, beginning from way before the November presidential election when the former president was blathering on about how, if he loses, it will be because of vote fraud.

Ah, does the governor of Florida realize that his state is entirely surrounded by water and other US states? Or that he has a much bigger COVID-19 problem than his counterparts in states that actually are on the southern border with Mexico?

Oh, if only reporters would ask him to explain ... it would be fun to watch!

That is the difference between the two major American political parties, folks -- one is a death cult, and the other is not."

As Democrats everywhere work as hard as they can to solve the problem and defeat the virus once and for all, Republicans are actively trying to make things worse, to curry political favor with their Dear Leader. Republican governors trying to make a national name for themselves are overturning a longstanding conservative position -- that the more local a government is, the better it is.

Best. Talking. Point. EVER!

I would just echo what andygaus said, in spades.

What we need in order to reach many of the unvaccinated is lots of compassion, patience and understanding.

Good luck getting to a 90% vaccination in the country or anywhere near "herd immunity" in the US any other way. To say nothing about how important "herd immunity" throughout the entire world is to the health security of ANY single country.

You know, even I can get behind progressive voices like Bernie Sanders. Some of his mean-spirited supporters? Not so much. But, still, looking forward to Bernie's days in the sun!

This is going to positively change millions of American lives for the better, brought to you by Democrats, with every Republican fighting against it.

Right on!

This should preface everything Democrats say about anything, from here to election day!

Absolutely, positively, unequivocally!

Will Democrats ever learn how to do this on a consistent basis?

I would think vaccination rates and the current COVID surge would demonstrate the ineffectiveness of voluntary measures and seriously downgrade OD as a solution. But then you thought you had an epiphany when it was really just an apophany...

I couldn't agree more with your analysis. I mean we are talking about life and death and it doesn't get anymore serious than that.

The thought expressed in talking point #3 are the kinds of things that, if they are thought about at all, should be kept to our inner voices.

I think compassion will go a long way toward reaching people are refusing to be vaccinated on grounds other than medical and science.

At the rate the US is going with increasing casees - almost entirely among the unvaccinated - many unvaccinated people are going to die, unnecessarily. And, that is very sadly predictable.

Nonsense. You wouldn't comment if you didn't take at least some offense.

Say, what!?

I don't know what that means ...

Very well put!

The fourth wave began around 4 July, so it will be difficult to tease out the number in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida who were finally convinced by the 'carnage' around them vs those who were only waiting for Biden to "fail".

First of all, it was so frustrating that the much of media (at least those sources that I consult) on the July 4th weekend repeated the 'failure' to reach 70%. This was an artificial deadline, of course, with no reward for reaching it nor penalty for not. Whatever the percentage, isn't it more important that millions got vaccinated because of the Biden administration's planning, execution, and messaging - especially compared to President "I don't take responsibility at all"?!?!?

Secondly, I'd much rather have a President that is "too optimistic" than one who begins his term with reference to "American carnage".

Thank you for making my Saturday morning!

Um, so are these pseudo Talking Points short and snappy enough, Weigantia?

And that ought to be fine with you and me and everybody so long as he keeps tracking up the MIDOTWs to match or exceed the MDDOTWs. Relax, no one gets everything right. Joe's reluctance to challenge the Supremes over Eviction furthers the "Joe is an institutionalist at heart, so if he finally dumps the filibuster it'll be because Repugs left him no choice" narrative.

Just saying.

But, then again, they ceased to have much meaning for me months ago. Ahem.

Nonsense. You wouldn't comment if you didn't take at least some offense. You got a yuge Joecrush, Shroomgurl! But that's hunky dory with the rest of us, as Joe has exceeded our collective expectations, methinks .

Sho yo right, poet. Even if the very first vax was not a part of Operation Warp Speed. OWS was perhaps the best thing Cheetogod did in his forty, er, four years.

You're right, andygaus. Yes, the unvaxxed deserve it but as with the lung cancer person we should be compassionate. I'd much rather that not another single American died from Covid than for the fatalities to come be disproportionately Republican.

Pick one!

By the time Biden leaves office, in a peaceful transfer of power, I predict he'll top the leaderboard here for the most MDDOTW awards.

But, then again, they ceased to have much meaning for me months ago. Ahem.

JL

But don't forget get that while those are self destructive behaviors you reference the big difference is they don't endanger anyone but the practitioners. Anti-vaxxers hurt people beyond themselves.

why ask why? vote for pie.

JL

Yo, are you referring to Joe Biden? Chris Weigant? Me, or the the whole lot of us godless non-pie enthusiasts?

Auditioning for Newsmax

No, the notes taken actually read "...and leave the rest to me and Rs in Congress."

It's plain to see that "Rs in Congress" stands for either Antifa or else BLM, amirite?

JL

But, you can't possibly be proud of her "concession" speech, can you?
