Easter Egg Wrangle


Click the tweet for the full view.


Greg "Abbott is The Crisis" decided -- in what he believes was a demonstration of his foreign policy skilz -- to resolve himself after the week of domestic terrorism he inflicted on the nation's economy.  Let's survey the damage.


No shortage of disaster-related adjectives.  There remains, astonishingly, some question as to whether Governor Helen Wheels will pay a political price.


After everything that's happened this year (the erosion of women's rights, voting rights, LGBTQ rights, children's reading rights, etc. ad nauseum) that Texas businesses large and small have voiced both loud and mumbled objection to, on which side of the fence will Lone Star corporate leaders and their PACs be dumping fertilizer?  We all know that ATT hasn't changed their plans.

Sidebar: after I kicked Kuffner in the shins for lazy-ass blogging, he came back with a respectable post.  Although "I'm at a loss here" and "I don't know what else to say" is more of his -- and Texas' and all Democrats' -- by-now-predictable weakness in confronting fascism, "it's a start" (another of his go-to tropes).

I'm not through with ASStax Abbott yet.


Okay, that's enough for today.  It's a holiday weekend, after all.  Let's turn to some other dumbasses in the news.


The seditionist calls are coming from inside the House (and Senate).  And apparently the Democrats on the January 6th committee are just too scared to do anything about it.


Not a good look for the Texas Central folks when the project still has public disapproval in the Republican hinterlands to overcome.  Maybe they can join the chorus of whining on the Right about onerous property tax burdens and garner some sympathy.


A commercial threat by Mr. Tesla that slipped under the radar this week, what with all of his -- and everybody else's -- histrionics.


Fucking W Bush.


Tempted to go with a Kuffner quote, but I'll pass.


The southern border, as we should all know by now, is not being invaded.  The people who are seeking asylum there are fleeing for their lives.

Here are your organizing/action items.


One calm-me-down.
