Vaccine Goes Magnetic, Passports,
Insurrect Handshake, Pants, Manchin

  • Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged watches as a legislative witness, testifying in Pennsylvania, tries to demonstrate that vaccines magnetize the human body.
     
    There has been some mirth on the internet over this.

  • CATO Institute’s Julian Sanchez analyzes the newest preferred target of anti-VAXers to decide whether vaccine passports are Orwellian infringements, or simply a combination of good business, good health, free association, and common sense. Okay, so we can guess where he goes on this.
     
  • Then it gets serious. North Carolina pastor John Pavlovitz hears from a woman who lost her mother to COVID but has had no opportunity to truly mourn. He contemplates the impossibility, until postponed grief has been fulfilled and suspended loss acknowledged, of going back to normality.
     
  • Pretty much everyone has seen video of a Republican Congressional Representative denying that any insurrection even happened. Just a bunch of tourists says he. Then a photo of that same Repub Rep emerges showing him screaming in panic and hiding behind a police officer as the Jan 6 mob approaches.
     
    At The Moderate Voice, Dorian de Wind notes a remarkable chance encounter between that same Rep Rep insurrection denier and one of those officers who was injured saving sorry posterior of said Rep Rep and other deniers. If you haven’t seen the story already, you are allowed to guess who refused a friendly handshake.
     
  • Republican representative Andrew Clyde notwithstanding, Frances Langum produces new bodycam footage showing a clear Jan 6 deficit of harmless tourists. Who would have thought?
     
  • Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit finds yet another reason the FBI is able to identify so many Jan. 6 insurrectionists for arrest. Has to do with very poor internet reception in the Capitol Building.
     
  • Iron Knee at Political Irony illustrates the four groups who most apparently participated in the Jan 6 mob attack.
     
  • Ever wish insurrection supporting office holders would just go away? Me too. But we have to support their right to holler fire in a crowded theatre, right? Scotties Toy Box says that there is that little bit in the Constitution contained in the 14th Amendment. Hmmmm.
     
  • Nojo goes poetic with the best set of verses I’ve seen this week: an ode to Joe Manchin.
     
  • You gonna believe mere videos when the Lord speaks something else? News Corpse observes as Kayleigh McKEnany proves that she never ever lied while serving as Trump Press Sec. Proof of truth is simple. She couldn’t possibly have told a falsehood because she is a person of faith. So close your eyes and check no further, folks. The issue is settled.

  1. Howdy y’all!

    Good to see you’re back in the saddle and slinging snark again. We missed you last week.

    Loved the Elie Mystal magnetic key trick trolling the testifying nurse’s magic key trick. “Explain this to me,” she pleaded. I’m surprised no one did and suggested that she practiced a bit more in the Congressional bathroom mirror before coming on stage with her little magic act. In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, “What a maroon!”

    Huzzah!
