Good morning. It is 0600 and I am here in my temporary office at our Broadway property in Seattle. I am here to supervise the removal and replacement of a make-up air unit on the roof. Fun stuff.
Tonight is the State of the Union address, and everyone has their drinking Bingo cards ready.
Headlines That Caught My Eye This Morning
Item 1: President Biden faces pivotal 2024 State of the Union, chance to reset race against Trump
Have we all got our Bingo cards ready? If not, I have a few you can choose from.
You really have to question the state of a union when the number one reason to tune in and watch is to look for every instance where the president fucks up or mangles a thought or a sentence.
Item 2: Alabama governor signs IVF bill giving immunity to patients and providers
I am forever amazed at the contortions the Religious Right will go to justify something that they are otherwise vehemently against.
Look, either life begins at the nanosecond an egg is fertilized by sperm, or it doesn’t. You have to make up your fucking minds on this.

Item 4: Food aid convoy for northern Gaza looted after delay at Israeli checkpoint

Item 5: Ted Cruz Gets Bad News on Super Tuesday
What, did the Democrats finally find someone who is a bit more likeable than Ted Cruz?
Item 6: This Bird Is Half Male, Half Female, and Completely Stunning
Well, this bird would find itself banned in most Southern states in the US.

What In The Hell Did I Just Watch?
The Tourist – Netflix
An Irishman wakes up with amnesia in an Australian hospital. Seeking answers, he encounters a local woman who remembers him and volunteers to help him rediscover his identity. What few clues he can find hint that he has a dark past from which he must escape before it catches up with him.
Memes From the Meme Box
I receive dozens of memes in my Meme Box on a daily basis from people all over the landscape. Some are political, some topical, but most are just everyday events with a little fun inserted. My absolute favorite are just photos that will speak those thousand words clearly.
I voted “Uncommitted” this time around
I’ll have a petri dish in my glove compartment so I can drive the HOV lane.
You are who you hang with…
This is the actual pull-down combo-box for signing up with MyChart. What in the flying fuck is a “Demiboy”? I am almost afraid to find out…
