Feign Outrage

Good morning. First things first: Read Velveeta's blog post from yesterday.
I think that encapsulates the entire brouhaha from the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night. In the meantime, those that feel like Sarah Sanders was treated badly , I would like to introduce you to Sarah Sanders:
For a gentle reminder, this is theman person she's defending:
The outrage is suspect at best.
Anyway, buckle up, it's Monday!

Good morning. . 
(yeah it's my 3rd cup already)
Once again the press shows its complete lack of spine because they don't want to lose access to a serial liar, who's the spokesperson for another serial liar. So now they want to rethink the WHCD. This is why we can't have nice things.
And FUCK YOU MIKA! You and your fucking useless boyfriend GAVE THAT ASSHOLE FREE ACCESS and you FAWNED OVER HIM. Now you whine that someone with a hell of a lot more courage than you speaks the truth. Cram it. If it weren't for Rachel, MSNBC would be dead to me.
Colbert is still the standard by which all WHCD speeches should be held to, but only because the GOP is so ignorant they thought The Colbert Report was a right-wing show.

Morning 
What I saw of it was very funny, and she has a point - Flint's water still isn't safe but the media isn't talking about it.

I was really pissed when she said a wife and mother -- as though single women and those without children are fair game.
that's the patriarchy right there.

Did something happen this weekend? I was working all day Saturday, and Sunday I woke up with a migraine that lasted all day AND was so bad that it made me puke.

My only complaint with Wolf's delivery is that it looked like she was going to laugh at her joke before she delivered it. Wouldn't have changed the triggered snowflakes' reaction though.

Okay now that I'm caught up on shit... Yeah. I'm done with these milquetoast journos like Mika & Andrea Mitchell. And anyone else I see who criticizes their own journalistic colleagues or someone else in the public eye for totally benign comments yet refuses to speak hard & true about this Administration or anyone else in power who does FAR WORSE.

I don’t think I can fall asleep tonight until I say a few things publicly. First, I’m so grateful for all of the support people are showing me after the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this evening. Second, Michelle Wolf thought it was funny comparing me to Aunt Lydia from the Handmaid’s Tale, but I’m proud to be associated with that hard-working and fearless woman. In fact, I think I’m going to ask friends to call me Aunt Lydia from now on! Good night and God bless.

The thing was, Wolfe wasn't talking about looks, she was talking about women in relationship to Mike Pence and the story of the handmaid's tale.
and yes, Sarah does remind me of Umbridge.

Hello bloggers!! I hope that everyone is well.
As a former reporter, I am weary of journalists who fear having their access cut off by someone who talks of jailing them.
I find it fitting that my last unit - 1984 - begins in my classes this week.
On a lesser note, I am going to have another mechanic look at my car. It may be time to replace it.

Well...TriSec is pleased to report a mastery of the Combat Swim Stroke that I've been practicing over the last few weeks.
The qualifying time for a SEAL candidate to go to BUDS (Basic Underwater Demolition School) is 500 yards in 12:30. Unofficially timing myself this afternoon, I did 1,000 yards in 25 minutes - which does just meet qualifications!
(Yes, I had set that as a goal, but I never expected to hit it on my first real timed swim.)
