Wow: Mary Peltola announces she's running for Senate in Alaska — as a Dem, of course.

Peltola looked to be deciding between a run for governor, where she looked like she'd almost be favored, and a tough race for Senate against Republican incumbent Sullivan.

Telling of Dems' mood she chose latter.

Notice that the island is in the Aleutians --- the armed guards are going to spend a lot of time looking for those penguins.

Given the number of available cabins at South Carolina state parks for the month of January, something is telling me that the prices are too damn high --- I think my WTP might be $50 a night but not $125 a night for a weekend despite almost all cabins in 5 parks that I checked being available.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

The Pittsburgh #Steelers are like the Barden Bellas pre-Anna Kendrick.

Predictable, somehow good and lucky enough to be in the conversation, but not great enough to go the distance.

An update for folks in the Columbia, SC area: the Buddhist monks walking for peace will be in Columbia sometime between January 10th & 20th. Our leaders, including those in SC, need to listen to their message of peace now more than ever.

Not every Chotiner interview is him making some blowhard look foolish. Sometimes he has experts explaining complex situations in clear terms.

Also good discussion of the comparison to Noriega, which was my first question this morning about all this...
What is the legal basis, such as it is, for this action? Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a legal basis for what we’re seeing in Venezuela. There are certainly legal arguments that the Administration is going to make, but all the arguments that I’ve heard so far don’t hold water. None of them really justify what the President seems to have ordered to take place in Venezuela.

Well if there’s one good thing, we’ve learned over the last few decades that people always embrace the US and democracy after their leaders are removed by the US military. So this should work out — hold on, I’m getting an update …

Thanks. "5. After they finish freaking the fuck out" and "Oh, yeah...and the deductible & out of pocket cap will be reset for 11 months instead of 12, so anything they pay towards that in January won't be counted."

Hope I'm really wrong but shit's about to get really serious for many many people.

Subtweeting a conversation -- my SAT scores were an accurate reflection of a dehydrated, exhausted and still somewhat drunk 17 year old version of myself was capable of that day.... I sure as hell hope I've grown a bit since then.
