Pfizer vaccine, shot #2! Image
Update:

No noticeable side effects, except for having the chorus to “River Deep, Mountain High” stuck in my head, but that’s *probably* because we watched the Tina Turner documentary last night.
Update 2:

Other than a sore arm and a slightly pfoggy pfeeling, doing pfine.
Update 3: A day and a half later, I woke up feeling normal again.

Get your shots people!

“I can see why Quebec wants to be separate from all this.”
Showed this to my (Canadian) wife and she was disgusted.

Because a true Canadian Tuxedo pairs the denim jacket with jeans.
White jeans don’t count! They have to match the jacket.

Jesus, it’s like none of you have ever spent a week in Saskatchewan.

Kevin Williamson has responded to the criticism of his "we need *less* democracy" column yesterday, and I'm flattered to have made the #1 spot.

The link just goes to my account generally, which lets his distorted "summary" stand on its own, but ... #1!

He won't provide the actual link for some reason, but I believe this tweet yesterday is what he's referring to.

Now, if you (unlike Williamson) actually read that thread, you'd see it wasn't about one article, but a good number of NR pieces.

Williamson denied that segregationists & the architects of modern conservatism made common cause in the 50s & 60s, so I used NR to show how they did.

This thread doesn't just show that the filibuster does, in fact, have a considerable "racial history" but that the argument of its defenders -- that it somehow promotes compromise -- is completely wrong.
When Southern Democrats filibustered anti-lynching bills in the 1930s, they walked away with a total victory. The bills never became law, and no compromise measures were passed.

The filibusterers won everything they wanted. Their opponents got nothing.
When Southern senators filibustered civil rights bills in the 1960s, they walked away in complete defeat.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 wasn't watered down as a result of their defiance; indeed, it was strengthened.

Liberals got everything they wanted. The filibusterers lost.
