Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (10/25/23)

Quote I

"You know there's services now for useless people like you."
Ana Navarro

Quote II

“We need to make sure the infrastructure is overbuilt, oversupplied and over-capacity so that nobody as a driver gets stranded. When you point out the challenges to a believer or a staunch advocate, well now you’re just being negative, you’re just trying to impede progress.” John Eichberger, executive director of the Transportation Energy Institute, a nonprofit research organization

Quote III

“Democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system. This conference that you see, this House Republican majority, is united,” Speaker of The House, Republican Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana

This Cob's opinion? Off the top of my head without a lot of research: He's younger and not a life long DC scuzzcritter. Not sure what his state government background is. Let's face it, he can't be any worse than Mrs. Frank Luntz Kevin McCarthy or Old Man Murdoch's towel boy, Paul Ryan. I pray that he does well for our country.

No wonder why those Harvard kids excel at government make work jobs. Harvard has more administrators than undergrads.

Harvard University employs about 1,352 full-time administrators for every 1,000 undergraduate students enrolled at the university, an analysis conducted by The College Fix found.

This is more than a nine percent increase from the 2013-14 school year, when there were 1,240 administrators per 1,000 students, according to the analysis, which used data provided by Harvard to the federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.

How refreshing!!!! A group of Republicans fighting for common sense instead of their own grifter grazing.

The Clemson College Republicans have succeeded in their yearlong effort to have menstrual products removed from men’s bathrooms on campus.

Campus Reform has reported that many colleges, from Western Carolina University to Princeton University, have embraced the practice as a way of promoting gender ideology and transgenderism.

After pushing back for some time, Clemson’s College Republicans helped get the female items removed from men’s bathrooms. Chapter President Trevor Tiedeman gave Campus Reform a full timeline of events, and what it took to make the change.

It all sounds good now. But, will a conviction come to fruition? Not. Holding. My. Breath.

Democratic New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman was charged with a misdemeanor Wednesday for pulling the fire alarm prior to a House vote.

Bowman pulled the fire alarm in a House office building before a vote late September on a temporary funding package to prevent a government shutdown. District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb charged Bowman with a violation of the D.C. code over the incident on Wednesday.

We certainly live in a mixed up world. Viral Restaurant List Is the Rosetta Stone of Gen Z Dating

If I had a quarter for every time I heard some 20-something complain about how hard it is to date in 2023, I’d be able to fill up my ride with 20 gallons of premium gas. For those of you playing along, that’s over 300 quarters.

According to the Pew Research Center, not only are fewer single Americans interested in dating, but those who are looking for a relationship are not necessarily in want of a committed relationship. “Casual dating,” which could be defined as “friends with benefits” or, even less officially, “hook-ups,” is an alarming trend among men under 30.

Could it be that all of the “good ones” are taken? Are single American men under 30 less attractive? Are single women in the same age category playing the field in a modern feminist role reversal? Perhaps

I met the Fabulous Mrs. Mis. Hum a ***couple*** of years ago at work. Relationships certainly have changed since then.

Convince me that this smarmy sleazy creature isn't running for POTUS '24!

Gavin Newsom Meets with Chinese Communist Party Dictator Xi Jinping in China

Will Joe sit quietly in the corner drooling while Male Karen takes on Karen Whitmer for the DNC nomination? Only time will tell.

Vegan desserts? Well, they aren't for me. I would eat one if it were given to me. You? I'm not going to judge.

The Wonderful, Wonkafied World of Vegan Pastry
For peak culinary creativity, look no further than the vegan bakeshop

DidDid you hear? Dominique Ansel introduced his first vegan Cronut.

Ansel announced the one-weekend-only special on September 20, the day before its limited drop, in an Instagram post marked #ad. The Huckleberry Hound-colored rice pudding inside the pastry was brought to us by Upward SW 6239, a hue that paint conglomerate Sherwin-Williams deemed its 2024 Color of the Year. In the words of the paint company’s “director of color marketing,” it represents “the gentle forward momentum in all of our lives.” (In official speak, Ansel was “inspired” by this paint — “inspired” being a “gentle forward” way of saying “sponsored.”)

Ansel wrote that the new placid tone led him to dream a dream of “making the first-ever vegan version of the Cronut®” — 10 years after the trademarked pastry was first introduced. (He used the ® twice in the announcement; once for the Cronut, once for Sherwin-Williams.) “We were so excited at the results and how we could push forward with entirely new techniques, flavors, and ingredients,” he wrote.

Because. That's why.

THC. Dog. Owner. Toilet. Some assembly required for tonight's Genius Award Winner.

Dog Mauled Owner After Being Fed THC Gummy
Woman severely injured during hour-long Rottweiler attack

OCTOBER 24--After feeding a THC-laced gummy to her pet Rottweiler, a Michigan woman was attacked by the dog during an hour-long ordeal that left the victim grievously injured and her home drenched in blood, according to an incident report that reads like a horror film treatment.

The attack earlier this month inside a Gaylord residence prompted local animal control officials to warn that THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis, is considered toxic to dogs and can cause aggression.

Recounting the October 5 incident, the victim told officials that she gave the animal a gummy that morning and the dog subsequently “came into the bathroom while she was on the toilet and ripped her off the seat.

You're welcome. It was my pleasure to bring this to you.
