Does she have one of those big fluffy beds to hide in? Dogs- and cats seem to like to burrow down in those during thunderstorms-

By spinning blow, I hope you mean a heel kick to the dome. Because that's what I'm visualizing.

Per cartoonist John Kovalic:

"This image,now viral and representing Wisconsin all over the world, was created by J J Sedelmaier - a UW grad, noted Animator, Illustrator, designer, author and film director/producer, known for co-creating the "Saturday TV Funhouse" segment—including The Ambiguously Gay Duo and The X-Presidents—on the TV series Saturday Night Live and over 500 other TV and advertising projects. On Wisconsin."

To which I say, Praise Cheeses!

(I'm sure both Augie and Eli would agree.)

All well and good. Now, when is Musk going to be charged for financial inducements to voters? I’d like to think this will be seen through to the logical end: Musk on trial.

My dear Charlie Sykes, there was a time in the past when I would have said we agreed on next to nothing. I find myself watching your video message to Elon Musk over and over again, just for the sheer delight of it. Bless you.

Remember it was not the democrats that made this a referendum on trump and musk, it was trump and musk. Oh and musk isn't going anywhere until he is good and damn ready. He has almost sewed up all the personal data the government has on everyone, and he has back doors into all the agency computer systems. He is only going to leave when Space X gets NASA and I don't think that is too far off.

This statement scares me the most.

If musk had spent more money, the margin of victory might have been even greater.
