I've mentioned before, rather than risking making the COVID spread worse, spend this time to learn to cook. My adult sons have done that. Here are some of their recent dishes.

From my oldest: Chashu (Japanese braised pork belly.) On left, from the oven, then in the meal)...
...homemade butternut squash soup, also made by my oldest....
...from my youngest, Korean food: Bulgogi (Marinated Beef)
Gamja Jorim (Korean Braised Potatoes) Sesame Broccoli, Sigumchi Namul (Korean Seasoned Spinach)
Gyeran Mari(Korean Egg Roll Omelette)....
...when COVID is long gone, my adult sons will all still be able to cook. Hopefully, things will be close to back to normal by July. Use that time to learn something you can use the rest of your life. Like cooking.

I have an odd “knowledge by osmosis” on Fox News topic of the day: Dr. Seuss. I was an advisor on a fascinating thesis about his history & his books. And as usual, the GQP is full of it.

Dr. S, or Ted Geisel, was a man who, unlike members of GQP, evolved. He despised some...1
...of his early work before he became a children’s book author, but was just a cartoonist. His early stuff was littered with racist images of black, chinese & Japanese people. The black characters were the worst, made to look like monkeys in images a Klansmen would applaud...2
...Geisel apologized for his early work’s depiction of minorities. In his earliest books, he had not completely emerged from the mindset that led to his racially offensive cartoons. You will see the similarities between the cartoon above and this image from “If I Ran The Zoo”...3

As a Texas resident - I am ashamed to call myself a Texan anymore - we're captive of the stupidest among us. @GregAbbott_TX is rescinding mask/crowd orders put in place when the daily infection rate was lower than now. We're at about same level of infections as at the first...1
...huge explosion of cases in the summer. The infection now will spread, right when the more infectious variant is climbing. Why do we have to keep being threatened by GQP's insistence on doing what they want, no matter the price in lives, @GregAbbott_TX? Why do the ones who...2
...care about 500,000 deaths that didn't have to happen, who don't want to be part of the problem by risking lives of other people by ignoring common sense science, who dont want to cripple hospitals, who dont want to get sick, take 2nd place to the selfish and ignorant...3

A delightful conversation:

Loon: “Masks don’t work!”
Sane: So why is the countries with the highest mask compliance universally have the lowest infection rates?
L: “I’m not talking about other countries!”
S: So, are you saying masks don’t work just in the United States?
...1
...L: This is America! I have the constitutional right not to wear a mask!
Sane: “Well, you just changed the subject.”
L: No I didn’t!
S: You went from saying masks don’t work to saying you have the right not to wear them.
L: I shouldn’t have to wear them! They don’t work!....2
...and they are an attack on my freedom!
Sane: Real quick. What’s the party of the Constitution that says you don’t have to wear a mask?
Loon: And I don’t care what they do in other countries! America is the greatest country!
S: You realize, you are all over the place....3

I don't know why Im doing this to myself. It brings tears to my eyes. I'm reading "COVID!! What a joke!" comments from CPAC last year. At least 440,000 lives mightve been saved if GQP had taken it seriously, sted of using CPAC to spread stupidity.

CPAC on Covid, last year:...1
...this is where murderous @larry_kudlow at CPAC claimed "socialist" democrats America would cause more damage to the country than COVID....2
...they even infected kids who volunteered for the event. Here is one from East Carolina University. They ultimately had (to date) 550 infections. Epidemiologically, after 10 generations of transmission, that led to at least 20,000 infections, 380 deaths...3

As someone well versed in the Bible who attended seminary, I cant express my anger at Cafeteria Christians like @gregsteube who cherry pick the Bible they don't even understand to justify hate. Nothing screams hypocrisy than those who quote Leviticus, ALWAYS to condemn others...1
...start with foundation: Under Christianity, we're all sinners. So why is it GOPrs think they can say "Oh, we can treat these people terribly because we think they're sinners." By what right, @RepGregSteube? You believe the power to judge is yours, based on part of Leviticus?..2
...but the good thing, @RepGregSteube is that under Leviticus 22 - one of the more repulsive parts of Leviticus - you need to know: Was your wife a virgin when she married you? If so, bring her to her father's home and invite the men of her city to come stone her to death....3

GOP lies disrepect the people - including children - whom they kill. In Texas, we knew in 2011 that state faced a power collapse if plants werent winterized. Dems put forward a bill requiring plants to winterize to prevent the collapse. GOP voted it down because "freedumb"...1
...and "the free market" and the endlessly bogus incantation "jobs!" when winterizing would have created, not killed, jobs. Reality: Winterizing, requiring power reserves through long term contracts and not just depend on spot market, would cost energy companies money. And...2
...they are the biggest bribers - i mean, GOP campaign contributors - in Texas. So, it saved some money. But this didn't change reality. The report from 2011 and the science made it certain that the power system would collapse. GOP scoffed and laughed, as they ALWAYs do when...3
