'This is our 9/11, They got us.'
Author: Raine Date: 10/09/2023 12:35:54

Things are horrific in the Middle East right now. Many people spent the weekend wondering how this could have happened, mostly asking things like 'what led up to these events?' and 'how did such an intelligence failure occur?'.

Of Scorpions and Frogs
Author: BobR Date: 10/04/2023 12:21:34

The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both.
When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature."

--Fable of the Scorpion and the Frog

To say the Republican party currently running the House (into the ground, I might add) were a bunch of scorpions would be an understatement. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), as everyone knows by now, was booted from his Speaker role (a first in our country's history) after he and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) butted heads one too many times.

You've seen that my schedule is completely out of whack now, and will be for another five weeks or so. The last ship pulls out on Veteran's Day, and then it's right into the quiet season.

With the Government shutdown temporarily avoided for about 6 weeks, I am turning my eyes on the SCOTUS's new term starting this week.

Open House

Good Morning.

I've got a couple of ideas today, but not much time to flesh them out. Three cruise ships are pulling into Boston Harbor today. In the rain.

Impending Shutdown
Author: Raine Date: 09/28/2023 13:02:53

Call it what it is: The GOP Shutdown. This is solely on them. While Social Security, Medicare, and Veteran benefits will continue, other programs will not.
