Snoopy Happy Dance here as we actually got rain this afternoon, all 2.27 inches. And there’s a prospect for more tomorrow morning. Northerly breeze and mid 60s overnight, low humidity. We had gone 3 weeks without rain, just morning fog to give not much moisture that evaporated once the sun came up.
The “Flight 93 Election” genre of apocalyptic rhetoric is as clumsy as the Left’s climate hysteria about cities flooding by 2030.
This is the kind of sloppy bombast you get when the writer marries somebody like Meghan McCain and suddenly decides it’s his chivalrous duty to gallantly defend his bride’s dead father.
Video series from the Institute of Human Anatomy, which used cadevers to discuss the human body, is discussing muscles only men have. This begs the question “can men control their balls?”
The guy is having a little fun with this. Normally the two presenters are pleasantly serious and informative.

Those agreements he signed with the Mexican governors is just more smoke and mirrors.
