Okay, butt-pucker # 2

WHEW!!!

Oh-oh. Butt-pucker time. Would be nice to get luck on this call.

And again. Maybe hurt?

And they're probably right about Liegghio, too.

Oliveira continues to impress.

Just a bit premature is all.

Getting good pressure on Maier- we're gonna be ok. YES! 2 and out! Spoke too soon!

Nobody is more accurate than Collaros .

Soooo nice to not have to bear Rod Black's commentary. AND WE HAVE A TD!!!!

Oliveira is punishing would-be tacklers- love it!

Jeez! Another Bomber down.

Biggie should have had Carey but whiffed.

Houston is done for at lea.st the night. We have a problem.

OW! Pulled hamstring.

Helluva start to to the game!

Historically, teams coming off a bye have not done well, and Maier has looked competent in his time on the field, so this is not gonna be a "gimme".

If competition makes you wilt, you are definitely in the wrong business.

I suspect that the Riders would loooove that.

Mitchell finished his career last year. He's just hanging around now.

Nicolle Wallace sounds the alarm: 'Scariest thing I've heard on this program in a long time' MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace confessed that one of the stories she was covering was "the scariest thing I’ve heard on this program in a long time." In a recent report by Washington Post reporter Aaron Davis, it was revealed that allies of former President Donald Trump copied files from Georgia's electronic voting systems and then shared them with Trump's lawyers and other election deniers. https://www.alternet.org/2022/08/nicolle-wallace-sounds-alarm-scariest/

Apparently the drought and accompanying high temperatures in southwest China are so severe that hydroelectric power has been greatly affected to the point where industrial plants have been forced to close, laying off thousands of workers and curtailing production.

Beyond sad- its frightening and will impact those who have no one to advocate for them. But then what would you expect from a PC government?

CALM BEFORE THE STORM? Eight Sources Say Feds Are Not Done With Matt Gaetz When Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) beat his primary challenger Tuesday, he delivered a speech to family and friends predicting an easy repeat victory in November that would allow him to remain with “Republicans with a will to fight and a backbone.” There was, predictably, no mention of the underage sex trafficking investigation that could one day be catastrophic to his political career. That federal probe that generated national attention for a few weeks last year has since quieted down. But it’s not over. Eight people with direct knowledge of the probe confirmed to The Daily Beast that the case is still unfolding—albeit at a methodical pace—as federal prosecutors work their way across a number of spokes of possible criminality. While each zone has its own sets of witnesses, subjects, and targets, all of it spirals out from one man: a crooked local tax official and Gaetz’s former “wingman,” Joel Greenberg. Lyle Mazin, a criminal defense attorney who represents a witness in the case, told The Daily Beast that the quiet should not be misconstrued as reluctance on the part of Roger Handberg, a federal prosecutor who led the local team conducting the investigation and now leads the Florida Middle District U.S. Attorney’s Office. “He’s methodical. He doesn’t let anything go,” Mazin said. “If you’re going after a monster, you have to get it right—especially when you have a bunch of Trump supporters who’ll come after you.” No one who spoke to The Daily Beast believes that the Gaetz probe was closed, and defense attorneys for witnesses and subjects who have recently enjoyed a quiet season said they expect to hear from prosecutors again. Some have struck agreements for advance notice of charging decisions. A Gaetz spokeswoman did not return a request for comment. Gaetz flatly denies all allegations of wrongdoing. A lawyer for one person already charged in the case told The Daily Beast that, in his experience, the prosecutors have “always been tight on the timeline.” “They only strike when the case is tightly built, unfortunately,” this lawyer said. https://www.thedailybeast.com/eight-sources-say-feds-are-not-done-with-matt-gaetz?ref=home

Somehow, Poilievre and his ilk feel that by imitating the violent rhetoric of the Trump GOP, the shine of the American "successes" will rub off on them, but they will find that only the sh1t will. I am trying to stay confident that Canadians on the whole are a cut above such, but am having nagging doubts, and that frightens me.
