Disarray

Of Scorpions and Frogs
Author: BobR    Date: 10/04/2023 12:21:34

 
"A scorpion asks a frog to carry him over a river.
The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, both would sink and the scorpion would drown.
The frog then agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both.
When asked why, the scorpion points out that this is its nature."

--Fable of the Scorpion and the Frog


To say the Republican party currently running the House (into the ground, I might add) were a bunch of scorpions would be an understatement. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), as everyone knows by now, was booted from his Speaker role (a first in our country's history) after he and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) butted heads one too many times. Gaetz and other members of his hard-right so-called "Freedom Caucus" have been telling McCarthy who they were ever since this Congress convened in January.

Where is it?
Author: BobR    Date: 10/03/2023 13:27:44

We remain in peak season at work. Yesterday, we had another three cruise ships in town, with somewhere around 7,000 people looking for something to do here in Boston.

You've seen that my schedule is completely out of whack now, and will be for another five weeks or so. The last ship pulls out on Veteran's Day, and then it's right into the quiet season.

Conduct Becoming
Author: Raine    Date: 10/02/2023 12:23:26

With the Government shutdown temporarily avoided for about 6 weeks, I am turning my eyes on the SCOTUS's new term starting this week.

Open House
Author: TriSec    Date: 09/30/2023 10:11:11

Good Morning.

I've got a couple of ideas today, but not much time to flesh them out. Three cruise ships are pulling into Boston Harbor today. In the rain.

Impending Shutdown
Author: Raine    Date: 09/28/2023 13:02:53

Call it what it is: The GOP Shutdown. This is solely on them. While Social Security, Medicare, and Veteran benefits will continue, other programs will not.

A Tale of Two Parties
Author: BobR    Date: 2023-09-27 12:00:00

It was the best of parties, it was the worst of parties (apologies to C. Dickens). Those who pay attentions to politics (like you, dear reader) know there is a wide chasm between the Democrats and the Republicans. That chasm has widened in the last 10 years to the point where it's nearly impossible to find any common ground to accomplish any governance at all. There are some instances in the last few days that truly illustrate that.
