Okay, I am going to pause ranting for a day or two. If anyone was offended… talk to Ed about reducing my pay.<\/p>\n
Just a few vignettes for the day: First up, I am pretty sure Sheila Jackson-Lee is a familiar figure to most of us. Lately she has decided to run for Mayor of Houston. Why, I am uncertain – it’s not like a springboard to wealth, power, or higher office. But she does have two assets: listen to how articulate a sitting US Congresscritter can be:<\/p>\n
“When I called Jerome, he only sits up there like a fat [expletive], just talking about what the [expletive] he doesn\u2019t know,” she said. “Both of y\u2019all are [expletive]-ups\u2026This is the worst [expletive] that I could\u2019ve ever had put together. Two [expletive] big [expletive] children. [expletive] idiots. Serve no [expletive] purpose. Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Can’t find any evidence she was ever military – with a mouth like that I wondered. Oh, and the second? She has been endorsed by none other than Hillary Clinton. It is true – hateful geriatric hags of a feather DO hang together.<\/p>\n

Li-Cycle Holdings announced a pause in construction on its lithium-ion battery recycling plant construction and the stock promptly tanked 46%. They were to get a $375,000,000 loan from the current administration for this. Can you say “Solyndra”? I knew that you could. Bloomberg<\/a><\/p>\n

Those picky California Fish and Wildlife people: FLW just had to tell their employees not to use the electric charging station at their offices: they are for FLW electric vehicles. Nor can they run chargers from office outlets. Sacramento Bee<\/a> I foresee a wave of entitled employee resignations, probably all starting with “It’s just so unfair!”.<\/p>\n

And on the subject of wildlife – a golf course in Arizona is fighting an ongoing war with javelina. While the\u00a0 little pigs will tear up the course in a heartbeat (and you too, if you get close and they decide to do something about it) they are also protected in Arizona, so the course’s\u00a0\u00a0 options are limited.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Casey attempted to ward off the javelinas by covering a section of the course in super-spicy, 1-million-Scoville chili oil, according to a post she wrote on X. Insider\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That’s Em Casey, assistant course superintendent. Now, in Texas, they could get volunteers to try to take care of it. Arizona? Note that word “protected.” I’m of two minds – golf course placement in javelina habitat may not have been wise, but when you see what a bunch of pigs do to what was once nicely cultivated, you understand why ARs are popular pig guns. No score, although I am a bit in awe of the little porker’s esophagi. A million?<\/p>\n

To anyone who has bitched about loud rap or techno from passing cars, you are not alone. Porirua, New Zealand has a problem with “siren battles” in which drivers fit their cars with outsized amps and speakers and compete to see who can blast their music the loudest. Sounds pretty standard, no? Except they do it all night. Apparently the police receive complaints (over 40 so far) but are unable to do much. Now for the good part: The artist they are blaring at high volume? Celine Dion<\/em>.<\/p>\n
Her songs are also said to be a good choice for a siren battle as they are clear, and have high treble without much bass.\u00a0 Evening Standard<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
How the heck can a country which produces hakas and the All-Blacks rock out at ear-shattering volume to… Celine Dion?<\/p>\n
Guess we know now why the government took their guns away… me, I’d be very tempted to put a few rounds through someone’s speakers at 2AM. And not be too picky about knowing where in the car they had put the speakers, too.<\/p>\n
