Senator Amy Klobuchar’s late father Jim wrote a book “Will the Vikings ever win a Super Bowl.”

In today’s game against the Lions could imagine him writing a column “Will the Vikings ever score a touchdown?”

Six incompletions in a row over two sets of downs for Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold inside the Detroit Lions’ 10 yard line at one point. And then another two incomplete passes starting at 3rd and goal from the 2 in the 3rd.. Now, admittedly as a Saints fan I haven’t paid close attention to the Vikings offense this year but maybe running the ball might have been an option?

Kansas City Chiefs plane delayed for hours in KC on their way to Denver, then the team lost 38-0 to the Broncos! 38-0?!

Anyone checked to see if folks wearing the Chiefs uniforms were actual KC players?

Meanwhile, how to lose a job in New England: When nothing is good about your season except you’re in line for the #1 draft pick, somehow managing to beat the Buffalo Bills.

So what time on January 6 is Orange Jesus going to Sharpie the blizzard away from Washington DC?

KAITLAN COLLINS (thanks Aaron Ruptar for posting the clip) to JD Vance in May 2024

:So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a builduing should be prosecuted?

VANCE: Yes

COLLINS: Ok, I’m just checking, because you helped raise money for people who did so on January 6.

Can we start a pool yet on the first person Trump will fire?

Brett Ratner, producer of Melania documentary, has been accused by many women of sexual assault & harassment- including following an actress into a bathroom without her consent. Patiently waiting for outrage from MAGA haters who claim they just want to protect women in bathrooms from trans women.

Fox News is headlining New Jersey’s decision not to require Praxis standardized tests for prospective teachers.

Funny, don’t remember Fox saying a word when Florida approved certificates for teachers in “classical schools” that do not require mastery of general knowledge, their subject area, professional skill, or demonstrated competence….-

–

Actually saw some MAGA today claiming January 6 was a “police guided tour ” And here I thought in my college days that Jim Jones would be the most dangerous cult leader of my lifetime.

Fox Headline: “GOP rebels switch votes to re-elect Speaker Johnson after president-elect intervenes” So did Musk call them?

–

Washington DC schools will probably be closed due to snow for the first day back after the Christmas break. Which means parents who have been home with kids for two weeks will be cooped up a little longer. Not perhaps a good omen for Dry January resolutions.

–

Sen. Amy Klobuchar questioned about GOP wanting quick confirmaton of Kash Patel as FBI director.

We know terrorist acts inspire copycats.

Even honest Republicans – thinking of potential attack where they live – must want an FBI focused on our safety instead of on Trump’s revenge fantasies.

–

How many members of Congress who ran from the mob on January 6 are going to be genuflecting before the mob’s ringleader starting January 20?

–

As President Carter’s state funeral begins in Georgia today, thinking while DonOld is whining about flags, filling our timelines with nice pictures of Jimmy Carter on January 20 would be a perfect response.

–

Maybe we need a positive thread for alternative viewing for the inauguration. Ideas that come to mind – anything about life of Jimmy Carter –

repeat episodes of Great British Bake Off? –

repeat episodes of West Wing or Ted Lasso? –

watching paint dry.

Other ideas encouraged.
