Come to find out, there are side effects to heat.
Harvard researchers say that they studied students in dorms with and without air conditioning and during a heat wave. They found that the students suffering through the heat performed worse on a series of cognitive tests.
Need I say more about Southern senators? Bless their hearts.
Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
Here’s something for you to think about.
Was the fix in?
And this from Kavanaugh —
Throughout this process, I have witnessed firsthand your appreciation for the vital role of the American judiciary. No president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from more backgrounds to seek input about a Supreme Court nomination.
No, maybe just one person.
Thanks to SGray for the heads up.
Remember when we used to have The Daily Louie honoring the proud ignorance and Olympic level hypocrisy of Texas Congressvarmint Louie Gohmert? Well damn, y’all, he’s going for two-fers now.
Louie! #1
The boy filed a false report at the Ethics Commission, conveniently leaving off $17,000 in last minute contributions right before the primary. Oh yeah, we have proof and so does the Ethics Commission.
Louie! #2
Louie has decided there’s a difference between right and wrong and by golly, he’s always right and by pure lucky happenstance so are all other Republicans.
He’s defending Jim Jordan. And, as usual, it’s all a big plot by Hillary Clinton. I’m not kidding you.
First, though, you have to read this.
“Jim Jordan is a fine and decent person who has a lifetime history of being honorable and honest, unlike his accusers whose extremely troubled backgrounds and ongoing legal and financial troubles place the veracity of their allegations into the realm of ridiculous,” he said.
Yeah, Jordan is being accused by herds of crazy people. And do you know who is getting these men to talk about Jordan? Of course, you do.
Gohmert hinted that there was a larger conspiracy since one of the law firms investigating the allegations, Perkins Coie, is affiliated with Democrats including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and former members of Congress.
“They were recently paid by Hillary Clinton and the DNC as a pass-through entity to hire Fusion GPS to concoct the salacious and unverified Russian dossier at the heart of the Clinton team’s attempted take-down of President Trump,” Gohmert said in his statement.
And then the next thing you know, he says he would not be shocked if cash payments had not already been made to the accusers “to purchase a drive-by character assassination of beloved conservative Republican Congressman Jim Jordan.”
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen and Kyle for the heads up.
The Republican running against Heidi Heitkamp in the closely watched North Dakota senate race just lost his dog whistle and started speaking plain ole English.
Representative Kevin Cramer said that he told Trump not to make his Supreme Court pick “some sort of affirmative action pick.”
Affirmative action pick? Gee, what could he possibly mean by that? White. He means heterosexual white male with no physical handicaps whatsoever, except for that line of insecurity and insanity that years of inter-marrying caused.
He means Aryan with a penis.
Oh, good Lord. They’ve given-up on even trying to talk in code.
I will not be watching Trump’s butt-ignorant speech tonight. There’s a ballgame on. I have to wash my hair. I’m allergic to dumb. I have a headache. There’s a bowling tournament down at Lucky Strike Lanes and Gourmet Dessert Emporium. My teevee is already peeved at me for watching too many reruns of West Wing so I don’t want to alienate it further. Bubba put the channel changer in the garbage disposal the last time Trump spoke and I don’t want to risk it again. Did I mention that I have a headache?
So, if you watch it, please feel free to cushion my reaction by posting right here.
