I’m hoping for a particularly aggressive re-infection.
So sweet, thanks for posting it.
An experienced teacher and administrator…who is also Hispanic. Another fine pick by Biden. I guess the only question is getting the fucking senate to approve.
Quite an impressive background…from the link above:
Cardona, 45, was raised in a housing project in Meriden, Connecticut, and went through the city’s public schools before returning to work as a fourth-grade teacher in the district in 1998. At age 28 he had become the youngest principal in the state before working his way up to assistant superintendent of the district.
As an educator, he has devoted his work to improving education for English-language learners and closing achievement gaps between students of color and their white classmates. Both issues have been perennial struggles in Connecticut, which for decades has had among the widest achievement gaps in the nation.
Cardona’s doctoral dissertation at the University of Connecticut examined how to boost the “political will” to close gaps between student who are learning English and their peers. It’s a personal issue for Cardona, who has said he entered kindergarten only speaking Spanish and struggled to learn English.
I guess the only thing missing is a spouse who made millions on a pyramid scheme and a mercenary brother.
The legislation is really an Omnibus spending bill, an extension of the debt ceiling, and the COVID relief is a tacked-on bit of log-rolling.
All of that is pretty much the usual sort of stuff that gets into an Omnibus bill.
I’m in.
Oh, I’m all over that. Or a relapse. Or late onset of symptoms. Or playing in traffic. Or going for a swim across the Potomac.
Having him struck by a drunk driver has a certain poetic justice ring to it, dontcha think?
The movie industry has way too much influence. That’s ridiculously over-charging.
Or maybe he’ll join the long haulers, and just never get back to being a 100% asshole. Well there’s a Christmas wish for you.
Oh, he can take the wheel…
So taxpayers are getting thrown under the Omnibus?
Reminds me of this National Lampoon bit of Soviet citizens protesting in Red Square. They do not actually speak their protesting thoughts, but they think them and we can read their thought bubbles:
"What do we respectfully request?
-Peace!
And when do we respectfully request it?
-As soon as it is convenient!"
Not really.
it’s a common congressional method of passing appropriations.

Oh, I’m all over that. Or a relapse. Or late onset of symptoms. Or playing in traffic. Or going for a swim across the Potomac.
Is too late for a Shark Week attack?

Oh, he can take the wheel…
I thought Matty let Jesus take the wheel?

Duh. If you weren’t smart enough to get on the herd immunity gravy train while it was on offer, that’s on you, buddy.
Under the heading " better late than never"?..nope…spineless punks who let this Stockholm syndrome get away from them at Americas peril…
Matty has Jesus working in the garden with Juan.
But he lets Nestor “take the wheel” every night.
