Darby is an upgrade but I wasn't all that impressed with Clements.

He has also said that he is ready to negotiate turning the gas on again.

He has already been accused of illegally hiding his assets so as to avoid having them seized.

Right out of the right-wing Trumpian playbook. You come out and say something that validates the bigotry, fear and hated of the flat-earthers and then, when challenged, half-heartedly say that you didn't mean it like THAT. Forgiveness is easier to get than permission, and you can always attack your critics for unjustly misunderstanding you.

Ms. Smith apparently lives in a world devoid of awareness of the attempted genocides of Jews, Armenians, and the insults, discriminations and injuries suffered by LGBT people, blacks, Asians, Semites, aboriginals, the disabled and so forth. Much more comfortable to pretend these do not exist. Blind stupidity has its benefits.

Comes with the territory.

Yes. Apparently the supply of the covalent vaccine is spotty at the moment, but they have been told that in a couple of weeks that ill be cleared up and they will be able to take walk-ins.

All dreadful. Prodigy was the best of a dreary unimaginative lot, but not by much.

Ms. Lansbury accepted a job to host a sex-education film for teens back in the 60's. Its rare but can be found if you look hard enough. It was unintentionally hilarious and she looked wooden and uncomfortable. Probably not included in her resume.

Herschel Walker Bizarrely Shares Anecdote About Bull Ditching 3 Pregnant Cows Herschel Walker apparently has decided the best way to counter the reports that he paid for at least one former partner’s abortion is to tell bizarre anecdotes about bulls who get multiple cows pregnant. During a rally on Tuesday with Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton (R) and Florida Senator Rick Scott (R), the Georgia Senate candidate wrapped up his speech with what Mediaite called “a janky parable” about a bull who got three different cows pregnant. Although the story’s point was apparently about how the United States is the best country in the world, audience members are forgiven if they related it to recent reports that he fathered numerous kids out of wedlock while publicly criticizing “absent fathers.” Here’s the anecdote in all its glory: “And they’ve been saying, ‘Something is better somewhere else.’ And I’m here to tell you it’s not. So, I been telling this little story about this bull out in the field with six cows, and three of them are pregnant. So, you know he got something goin’ on. But all he cared about is keep his nose against the fence, looking at three other cows that didn’t belong to him. Now all he had to do is eat grass. But no, no, no. He thought something was better somewhere else. So, he decided, ‘I want to get over there.’ So one day, he measured that fence up, and he said, ‘I think I can jump this.’ So that day came where he got back. And as he got back and as he took off runnin’, he dove over that fence, and his belly got cut up under the bottom. But as he made it onto the other side, he shook it off and got so excited about it. And he ran to the top of that hill, but when he got up there, he realized they were bulls too. So what I’m telling you don’t think something is better somewhere else. This is the greatest country in the world today.”

That's all she wrote.

This Deadly COVID Twist Is Like Nothing We’ve Seen Before As the wave of COVID infections from the highly-contagious BA.5 subvariant finally subsided back in late July, new subvariants were already competing for dominance—and the opportunity to drive the next wave of infections. A little over two months later, epidemiologists are close to naming a winner. In the United Kingdom, infections from a highly mutated subvariant called BQ.1.1 are doubling every week—a rate of growth that far exceeds other leading subvariants. In the U.S., BQ.1.1 is spreading twice as fast as its cousin subvariant BA.2.75.2. That means BQ.1.1 is very contagious. But that’s not the subvariant’s most alarming quality. What’s most worrying is that it also evades certain antibodies. In fact, BQ.1.1 seems to be the first form of COVID against which antibody therapies—evusheld and bebtelovimab, for instance—don’t work at all. Luckily, the best vaccines still work against BQ.1.1—especially the latest “bivalent” messenger-RNA boosters. Uptake of the new booster has been shockingly sluggish, however, meaning the new jabs aren’t yet offering much protection on a population level. We have the tools to defeat COVID. But “the reality is nobody is using the tools,” James Lawler, an infectious disease expert at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, told The Daily Beast. Highly contagious and immune-evasive, BQ.1.1 is poised to take advantage of an increasingly vulnerable global population as antibodies from vaccinations and past infection gradually wear off in coming months. The question isn’t whether a fresh wave of infections is coming. It’s exactly when. “We are stepping into a very fluid phase of the pandemic right now,” Edwin Michael, an epidemiologist at the Center for Global Health Infectious Disease Research at the University of South Florida, told The Daily Beast. Michael has built sophisticated computer models for simulating the COVID pandemic. https://www.thedailybeast.com/deadly-twist-in-covid-variant-takes-the-world-by-surprise?ref=home

What works in Rourke's favour is that Canuck quarterbacks who start for CFL teams are as rare as hen's teeth and ones who have been as good as he was before his injury are doubly so. Canadian receivers and much more plentiful- even ones as good as Demski has been,

And then you will be liquidated?

But if the Argos played there, they would probably draw as many fans as they do now.

Head to head with the Popeye's and there is a Jollibee not far away.

Got my covalent and flu shot this morning at my local Safeway. Went quickly and I'M NOT DEAD YET!

Trump Attorney Reportedly Blames Other Trump Attorney, Hires Her Own Attorney One of Donald Trump’s attorneys has reportedly hired an attorney of her own ― and is pointing the finger at yet another of the ex-president’s lawyers about an alleged false statement made earlier this year. According to NBC News, Trump attorney Christina Bobb spoke to federal investigators last week about the June statement she signed that claimed Trump had turned over all documents related to a subpoena, and no longer had any classified material at Mar-a-Lago. As the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago in August revealed, he still possessed hundreds of files. Bobb told investigators she didn’t write the statement she signed, NBC News reported. She claimed it was drafted by Evan Corcoran, another Trump attorney. She signed it only after adding a disclaimer that said it was “based upon the information that has been provided to me.” The Guardian confirmed that Bobb said she was instructed to sign the document at the direction of Corcoran despite not actually conducting the search for those records herself, and that she had insisted on the disclaimer. Bobb was Trump’s custodian of records at the time. Both news organizations also reported that she said another Trump attorney, Boris Epshteyn, was involved. In addition, NBC News reported that Bobb had retained Tampa-based criminal defense attorney John Lauro. After the FBI discovered highly sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago in August, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann warned that both Bobb and Corcoran could face potential perjury and obstruction charges over the statement. He urged them to get “the best defense counsel you can possibly get.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-attorney-blames-attorney_n_63451bffe4b03e8038ccbdab

This episode, on top of so many others, underscores that Trump is undeniably a dimwit with the self-preservation instincts of a bowl of Jello. Latest bombshell in Trump document scandal leaves NY Times reporter at a loss for words According to a recent report from The New York Times, the National Archives ratcheted up its pressure on former President Donald Trump to return documents he'd taken from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. "Mr. Trump, still determined to show he had been wronged by the F.B.I. investigation into his 2016 campaign’s ties to Russia, was angry with the National Archives and Records Administration for its unwillingness to hand over a batch of sensitive documents that he thought proved his claims," The Times' report stated. "In exchange for those documents, Mr. Trump told advisers, he would return to the National Archives the boxes of material he had taken to Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla." Speaking to MSNBC this Monday, the report's co-author Michael Schmidt said the the notion of Trump using classified documents as a negotiating tool with the National Archives "is just another example of how Trump has sort of approached all of these investigations." "He was entertaining outlandish ideas -- ideas that were not based in typical reality of what you can and cannot do," Schmidt said. "The idea that if you had materials that were government records and you could use them as a bargaining chip -- with Trump you run out of adjectives, and the best one we could come up with is 'outlandish.'" "But in the story, what we do is we chronicle that not only did [his behavior] fit a pattern about the previous investigation, like the Russia investigation where he entertains crazy thoughts, but he also, he misled his own aides, he pushed them to take actions that he was unwilling to take himself, and that in turn exposed the aides and the lawyers and the representatives that were working for him, that increased their own legal exposure. And with Trump, it is a story that time and time again repeats itself."

Agreed. Fajardo may be a whiny individual unsuited to be an athlete, let alone a quarterback in a contact sport, but the emotional damage he has almost certainly sustained will hamper him for a long time to come unless he finds and uses a good therapist. Hell, living in Regina ought to be considered grounds for hardship disability pay.

"Pylon Of The Year"?

At a massive rally today (12 people in attendance in a dirt field) Trump admitted that he had boxes of documents from the White House in his possession, but it was OK because he declassified them- presumably with his mind. For the American DOJ, this potential prosecution has become a slam-dunk.

There's probably a Donald Trump skin joke as well.

The anti-vaxxers said that today was the day when the "toxins" in the vaccines were supposed to activate. Waiting........

Cases in point: Chris Jones and Jeremy O'Day. QED.
