In The News Today...

Quote: petroglyph

Blowing here the last week. But it also brought today and yesterday down in the 70's. It's super nice on the patio, but you have to hang onto the crosswords with two hands or they blow away. Starting tomorrow, the typical 90's plus will be back, ack ack ack. I hate the heat.

Back there at Petrified forest is where I got the picture I use for my avatar at wov. It's a beauty, and old indian with a sore back. It's precious. I've had other friends search for it at the "newspaper rock" site.

Just at the north side of Flagstaff are beautiful ruins at Wupatki monument. They are awesome, and close to where you are. And there is some ruins right in town, just off of the hwy a few hundred feet up in the trees. Shouldn't be blowing there much at all? Look at the Elden Pueblo archaeological site, those aren't nearly as nice as Wupatki, but the wind might not be howling?

Comes close to deserving a new thread, but Governor Wittmer caught violating the social distancing rules that SHE won’t rescind! She of course apologized, but then explained that since all the people were vaccinated she hadn’t thought that the rules applied to her, even though they did! So do you think she is
A. Stupid.
or
B. Like every other political hack who believes the rules don’t apply to them?

I’m going B.

I will never understand why you righties are so obsessed with her.

And she’s going to win re-election here next year. So you’re just wasting your breath.

Quote: SOOPOO

I would expect her to win re-election 60-40 or so. She is a powerful national figure now. On the Dems list for 2024 if Biden decides against re-upping. I can assure you, I am not obsessed with her at all. Probably hadn't thought about her in weeks, if not months. Just the news article caught my attention. Maybe I'm missing someone, but wouldn't you say the three most prominent Democrat Governors are Newsom, Cuomo, and Wittmer? No surprise at that fine, upstanding trio!

Quote: ams288

Who would you say the most prominent GOP governors are? Abbott in TX? The ever-expanding Ron DeSantis* of FL?



*I could make tons of posts about all the corrupt/unconstitutional things DeSantis does. But, just like Whitmer, he’s gonna win reelection next year. It’d be a waste of my energy to focus on him (besides an occasional joke about his constant weight gain ever since 2018).
