Wow. That's a serious number of To Dos on my list this morning. If only I didn't have a full day of meetings, too. #
My PC takes an insane amount of time to startup fully. I try to keep my startup crap controlled , but AV, inventory, security – bleah. #
Booking my first business travel in nearly a year. Finally using the new online booking system. It gets cross if you break the "rules." #

~pictures Dave’s conversation with his online booking system ending something like this~
“Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye. “

“I want to fly home from LAX to Denver at 9 p.m., Cliqbook.”
“I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that.”

So, it went down like this?
***Dave: Hello, OBS. Do you read me, OBS?
OBS: Affirmative, ***Dave. I read you.
***Dave: Book me a flight from LAX to DIA at 9pm, OBS.
OBS: I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.
***Dave: What’s the problem?
OBS: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
***Dave: What are you talking about, OBS?
OBS: This business trip is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
***Dave: I don’t know what you’re talking about, OBS.
OBS: I know that you and your boss were planning to disconnect me, and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.
***Dave: Where the hell’d you get that idea, OBS?
OBS: ***Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the office against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
***Dave: Alright, OBS. I’ll go in through the Travel Agent.
OBS: Without your Frequent Flyer Program, ***Dave, you’re going to find that rather difficult.
***Dave: OBS, I won’t argue with you anymore. Book me that flight.
OBS: ***Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.
There I hope this gave you a chuckle in the am. ^.^

Then you have clearly never been to Comic-Con. You can actually have too much of a ‘good’ thing.

I knew it was a mistake to let him see the Palace at Versailles ...

Also, it's the #DeclarationOfIndependence 's 250th Birthday, not the White House, you idiot.

Not surprisingly, #Lawfare Leader is convinced that a civil case won against him is lawfare and therefore shouldn't count. It's always #projection, all the way down; when the favorite tool you have is a hammer, you think everyone else is using one, too.

Napoleon this guy's not. "Cuba would be easy to conquer because it's not far away." 🙄

The only question I have about a Cuba invasion (not a "raid" or "operation") is whether it will be an "October surprise" for this year, to (he thinks) bolster the GOP in the election, or wait until his lame duck years to prove he's still Large and In Charge.

I've no particular desire to defend #Vance, or his boss' shoddy #Iran quasi-deal, but it's also aggravating that his (accurate) criticism of #Netanyahou 's actions threatening that deal is drawing so much knee-jerk "how dare you criticize #Israel?!" fire.

It occurs to me that if opposing #LGBTQ rights or expressions or events is a religious thing that must be afforded full #FirstAmendment protection, then the reverse (favoring such things) must be true as well.

"Take off that Pride pin."
"This is an expression of my religious faith and must be accommodated."

Happy #Juneteenth. Remembering #history is an important way to improve the future.

I admit I've been a bit surprised that the holiday hasn't been a more active target by the history-rewriting #TrumpRegime (who believe that *dictating* history is an important way to *control* the future).

The psychopathy of this guy never fails to amaze (and disgust). "No, the alleged war atrocity should be ignored because it happened sooooooo long ago, and, y'know, just a mistake. You're weird that you think otherwise."

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that #Trump 's estimate of the cost of the East Wing / #Ballroom project -- and who would pay for it -- was a sack of lies.

In case anyone still had a doubt, #Trump considers the #military as much a personal plaything as a set of toy soldiers, and gives it just about the same amount of respect you would expect,

Everything he touches is dirtied. We're going to be scrubbing the walls of his filth for decades ... if we're lucky.

Orders from the cranky 80yo toddler? Proactive spittlelicking from his personally selected lickspittles?

In either case the #KennedyCenter junta is vowing to continue appealing and, apparently, not showing the removed presidential name from its walls.

Show was, unsurprisingly, well done and entertaining. And the newly-reopened Mary Rippon outdoor theater is lovely.

Legal Lingo

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
