Well we have finally come to the most blatant and transparent epitome of power grabs. An entire politcal party believes it has the right to go to Court if they don't like the outcome of an election. Whooee wowee. Not to mention intimidation, threats and actual violence they are urging on their supporters. Banana Republic we have arrived. Or would have if this latest lawsuit wasn't so blatently ridiculous.
One State challenging another State on its own rules and laws? I believe we fought a war on that issue many years ago when the southern States insisted on their right to enslave people to maintain their lifestyle. According to history there were actual fisticuffs and duels occurring in the hallowed halls of Congress before things broke down entirely. Now they do it by proxy. Well the South is going "down" again. I also love that it is Texas, the poster child of individualism and forging their own path, that is now challenging another State's rights. Ironic.
UPDATE: Paxton the Texas AG who brought the lawsuit against the States is currently under investigation by the FBI due to whistle blower complaints from his own staff citing his increasingly erratic and illogical behavior and actions, and some funny money issues.... Just saying be careful who you go to bed with....
I say we sue Texas over the monopoly of their cattle industry. I just know they are not treating "them cows" humanely. I am sure others can raise beef cattle lovingly and organically. Also wine tasting rooms in Texas? Really--they have to import the grapes. So we need another lawsuit of impersonating Napa Valley. And of course they never got over losing their status as the largest State when we admitted Alaska to the Union (probably sued over that too). Alaska just laughed and said "Careful cowboy, we can split in half and still be bigger than you!" And oh yeah, who is going to tell the "big hat, no cattle" folk that negating the election also destroys any other hapless republicans elected in the same big fraud.
Yep (texas style) when the nation's attorney general, the head of cyber security, dozens of conservative judges and 1000's of election workers of both parties call no fraud it really does bring paranoia to a whole new level. Perpetrated by one "proven" liar who told us he would win at all costs. Cheating and lying are just a means to an end. That base of supporters may be big, but is it worth your gonads, conscience and very soul? (Psst the orange one has collected over 200 million in funds for a defense fund of which he has only spent 8 million; leaving the rest to use however he wants) Do I detect a whiff of a con here? Who wants to bet Giuliani doesn't get paid?
On a happier note. If anyone has ventured out and "shopped local" the gratitude of the employees is overwhelming. Smiles (you can tell with the mask), happy voices, offers to bag, transport and wrap any gifts you want. One even volunteered to ride in the trunk and carry packages to a safe place to "air out" before we had to soil our hands. (just kidding). No one playing with their phones, hair, or other emps while you are in need of assistance and have your happy credit card hanging out.
On a flower order I literally engaged the designer for fifteen minutes accepting and rejecting different flowers and arrangements until it was just right. I cheerfully exposed my lack of knowledge when she offered that "comboodie flowers surrounded by orky dorkys would look great together". Huh? So she trotted out different fleurs and put fake bouquets together until I was happy. Never a sigh or complaint, though the place was buzzing like the proverbial beehive of floral extravaganzas. I hate ordering off an FTD website as they send the order to local florists who, nine out of ten times, do not have the flowers shown. Plus I thought it was cheaper to go right to the source. Apparently I was wrong on that last point but as I was designing it, I can't really complain.
Just finished washing sheets. Has anyone actually figured out how to fold fitted sheets??? After wrapping myself up and cussing at the inanimate offending material I tend to put them away in a jumbled mess in the linen closet. I used to hear sly chuckling as I closed the door on the devil sheets. However, as one gets older, and wiser, I have decided to avoid the middleman so to speak, and return the same sheets to the bed after washing. No folding required. Some might say, but they'll wear out quicker. Who cares? I am willing to bet we all have more sheet sets than we can ever use so to the rag bag they go....And they know it.
Happy Thursday...
