Yesterday, the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was announced. Of course it was NOT the Apricot Antichrist. But I suspect if he wanted to he could claim he had some influence in the choice, since Maria Corina Machado is Venezuelan. I would not be surprised if his murders of Venezuelans drew a little extra attention to Machado’s work. Not that she doesn’t deserve it – I’m confident she does. Also, I learned that Mark Bray and his family have made it safely out of America. I have been worried about that. If you don know, here’s the backstory. And I added one more link which is not huge news but is about Portland.

This from John Pavlovitz may sound odd, but if one honestly asks the question “targeting for what?” the answer is clear – every single American is being targeted for something. Think of “Tomorrow belongs to me” in “Cabaret.” Or, a bit less obviously, think of the scene in “The Sound of Music” when Georg says, “They’ll never make a Nazi out of you.” I think you’ll see what John is talking about.

As simple s this is, I doubt that any brainwashed MAGAts will understand it. And – yeah, 2 from Pavlovitz in one say. I’d be sorrier, but he’s been really hot lately. And both are secular.

From The Intercept, everything you hoped you would never need to know about the Insurrection Act.

Yesterday, I wanted to start working on some things like persona paperwork I have been putting off,  But a lot of it I couldn’t fund.  When I finally did find one important document, I discovered that when my printer malfunctioned, it took the scanner with it (probably the fax also, but I never use that any more.)  Very frustrating.  And as if thet weren’t enough, my refrigerator is acting up.  I’m sure everyone notices i was very, VERY late posting.  Sorry about that.

This is good news, and I don’t want to wait until Sunday to share it. Perhaps the best two word in it are “automatically suspended.” He is currently the Acting Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget. I don’t know whether that person needs to be a [not disbarred] lawyer, but it sounds possible, perhaps even probable. We shall see.

I thought Joyce Vance had done a “The Week Ahead” e ither Friday or Saturday night. Either i was wrong, or she did another one Monday evening, which is about as current as it gets.

Fortunately i did not have any liquid in my mouth when I read this – I would surely have spit it out.

Also, Kudos to Ohio on this:
