A Fateful Moment

It was Sunday afternoon at The Masters in 2016 that the earth wobbled in its space-time continuum, Jordan Spieth blew up, and a Year of Weirdness began. This may not be in order but subsequent surprises included the Leicester City Foxes (5,000-1 at the start of the season) winning the English Premier League; the LeBron's overcoming a 3-1 deficit to beat the mighty Warriors; Brexit; the Cubbies winning their first World Series in a century in extra innings of the seventh game (and after a rain delay); Trump; Tom Brady coming back from 28-3 in the Super Bowl; and the Academy Awards announcing the wrong "Best Picture" winner.

OK, some of that was kind of fun, but here's hoping Hideki Matsuyama can hold on.

I am calling a Big HMMMM? on this:

It is understood that Meghan, who is expecting a baby due in the summer, made every effort to travel alongside him but did not receive medical clearance from her physician.

Really?
Five or six months pregnant a contraindication?
(Maybe since she did miscarry last go around, and the hate coming her way is likely to be palpable...)

I am surprised she'll let Harry travel back to the bosom of his family without her "protection." We'll see where he is Saturday. ;-)

--I'm going to suggest that he suckered some people into this.

They should be punished anyway.--

I think they happily joined in and I think they're the ones who intend to be doing the punishing.

--It must have disappointed him that his grandson had a limp lower lip, rather than a stiff upper lip.--

Heh. Good line.
That limp lower lip also has a hook in it.

Problems with any vaccine are BIDENS fault.
He has claimed it.

I enjoyed hearing everyone's take on pimento cheese. It's a staple here - works for Keto by eliminating the bread and scooping it up with raw veggies. Grating your own cheese is much better than the pre-grated stuff which is sometimes coated with some flour-like substance to prevent clumping (and probably other things.) I don't add hot sauce but do enjoy a good amount of black pepper. Duke's mayo is a vital ingredient,too.

The only pimento I have ever had has been in an olive.

This is the stated Mission of the Lincoln Project:

OUR MISSION
The fight against Trumpism is
just beginning.

The Lincoln Project launched with two stated objectives. The first was to defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box. The second was to ensure Trumpism failed alongside him. As we have seen, our fight against Trumpism is only beginning. We must combat these forces everywhere and at all times. Our democracy depends on it.

Doesn't sound pro-Trump or pro-America.

Brooklyn Center Police Chief Gannon: "I was front and center... at the riot."

Reporter: "There was no riot."

Gannon: "There was... the officers that were putting themselves in harm's way were being pelted with frozen cans of pop, they were being pelted with concrete blocks."
