Did you watch the "Kevin McCarthy's tormentors" this week?
I did. During which I kept thinking of this piece published in the Washington Post in 2012 by Norm Ornstein and Tom Mann.
It's difficult to describe how utterly establishment Mann and Ornstein were at the time. One was at Brookings, the other at American Enterprise Institute.
They saw what was happening: The GOP's attack on all institutions. The press didn't want to know. Now it does.
Semafor said today that "a critical mass of conservatives do not trust McCarthy to lead them..."
Conservatives. Is that what they are?
John Boehner's description of the same crowd in his memoir:
"What they're really interested in is chaos... They want to throw sand in the gears of the hated federal government until it fails."
Are the sowers of chaos properly called "conservatives?"
Is MAGA conservative?
Why do #journalists with a commitment to accuracy maintain this fiction?
The only thing funnier than power metal...

Not sure why it's so hard to get it to spit out a picture of Richard Nixon slapping a small child. I'm sure that happened all the time.
Decided to try my hand at Stable Diffusion and I think I may have found a new hobby. If I can stay disciplined, learn and refine the tool, well, next year's holiday cards are going to be amazing. And if not, next year's holiday cards are going to be baffling and deeply unsettling. I'm perfectly comfortable with either outcome.
It is the final day of Thanksgiving 2022. I'm ready to say goodbye.
