🚨OVERTIME 🚨

Happy Tuesday! Here’s your Rusty #Pupdate. Things continue to go well with the humans in the family. Poor Gus was the recipient of an inadvertent puppy tackle and was not happy about it. He growled and Rusty didn’t want to mess around to find out. Only minor furniture damage, no accidents except on day one.

My home office was not very well equipped for curious puppies, so this was our living arrangement yesterday.

What’s for dinner… I am making the famous CanCooker ribs from Food Lion, glazed in Cheerwine Cackalacky sauce, and then I’m finishing them with a Great Lakes Christmas Ale glaze. Smoking ribs on my PK Grill is way more fun, but also far more time intensive. I don’t get kickbacks or anything from the products I hawk, but the CanCooker is a wonderful product, especially if you camp, RV, or cook for lots of people. (Picture here.)

FOX and the Big Lie, Part II… Watch the whole thing.

Armed Picnics and Snipers at Family Dollar: Life in a Town With a Government-Approved Militia… Bedford County, VA has its own approved militia. Mother Jones has more. It might have no legal meaning, but the signaling matters.

History repeats itself…

The purpose, Leader McConnell, is that you shouldn’t give quarter to crazy. Mitch McConnell, a Polio survivor, has been better about promoting getting the jab than most Republicans. But this is cowardice.

State of the GOP: Mitch McConnell doesn't believe it would "serve any particular purpose" to criticize Republicans who voice skepticism of COVID vaccines, even as he expresses shock and disappointment at the number of Americans refusing to get vaccinated.
bit.lyMcConnell Says Calling Out Vaccine Skeptics In His Party Wouldn’t Serve ‘Any Particular Purpose’The Senate GOP leader, a steadfast vaccine advocate, added that “the right thing is not in dispute” on whether people should get the shots.

Bacon is good for me… California is about to learn about how very loose ballot initiatives can come around and bite them in the ass.

Which reminds me of this classic.
