A Blooming Bluebonnet Wrangle from Far Left Texas


Yesterday's Slap-Rock was more than the usual disturbing, and everybody naturally had a take, so I'm sprinkling in some wildflowers today to take the edge off.


That doesn't mean I'm going soft on the morons, bigots, criminals, and assholes.


See?  Right here's where we need some aromatherapy.


Wildflowers or wildfires?  You decide.


Go ahead and start planning your weekend, whether it's political action or something else (or both).


Not enough mellow for you?  Here's some more.

Rock-Slapped Wrangle from Far Left Texas


(A)ny references to geopolitical causes or pleas for humanity were overshadowed by the blow that Will Smith landed on Chris Rock. It used to be that partisan statements triggered a bit of discord and division in the room; this time it was one of Rock’s crass jokes about Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.


The segue to Texas relevance:

(Oscars co-host Wanda) Sykes later took aim at the wave of new voting restrictions when she presented a shredded piece of paper. “You like democracy? Here is a voter registration form for the state of Texas,” she said.

And with that ...


And the Texas Observer would like the next land commissioner to forget the Alamo and focus on more important things.


Only the usual fail by our corporate state media.  Here are the social injustice Tweets.


And the legal and criminal injustice ones.


And some environmetal headlines.


It was unsettling to read about the upheaval at the Observer.


This review of a very disconcerting week -- not taking into account the developments in Ukraine, at the Supreme Court confirmation hearings, and essentially every direction in which you might have glanced -- requires a few extra soothers.
