Impeachment hearings start in a few minutes.  It *almost* froze here last night, meaning it’s colder than a witches’s teat in a brass bra to native south Texans who live here because snow is pretty for only one day but after that it’s frozen mud. It snows here once every 10 years or so and it’s gone after one day, which is perfect.

Today will be spent in my jammies and favorite housecoat watching the teevee.  I’ll be here if something big breaks but feel free to comment on anything you hear.

If Devin Nunes says “nude Donald Trump” one more time, angels will descend from heaven and sing the Hallelujah Chorus over California’s 22nd Congressional District.

AFTERNOON UPDATE:  Okay, here’s my question.  The reason that Bill Taylor and George Kent are hearsay witnesses is because the primary witnesses are refusing to testify.  If Pompeo ever gets the cajones that Hillary Clinton has, he can march his sweet patootie to the hearing room, get sworn in, and answer questions for 11 hours. Republicans can’t have it both ways.

They also can’t whine about not getting to question the whistleblower when we don’t get to question Rudy Giuliani. Besides, everything the whistleblower said was admitted to by Donald Trump.

Jim Jordan is what Republicans think a smart person sounds like.  First off, smart people rarely screech. They also rarely laugh out loud when they lose an argument, thinking smugly that they won.
