according to the 5 stages of pusillanimity!
We are getting a good, drought-ending soaking in a place called “here” (as many Facebook friends report)
“Here” being on the SW side of Madison WI at Blaska Experimental Work Farm.
Exactly 2 inches by noon today.

Elizabeth Kubler Ross’s overused Five Stages of Grief starts with denial, proceeds through anger, bargaining, and depression. It ends with acceptance.

For the last three years, the Left’s reckoning with the Biden crime family can be categorized as “that place that is not just a river in Egypt.” In the past week it has ticked over to “angry bargaining.” A faint journalistic pulse has been detected at The Washington Post, which once broke the Watergate crime but normally plays wingman for Democrats. This weekend, the WaPo moved a few inches to the right:
“Initially appearing reasonable, the [Hunter plea] deal turned out to include peculiar details suggesting critics might have been justified to suspect that Mr. Biden was being given special treatment,” the editorial board wrote. “Initially appearing reasonable” to treat evading up to $1.5 million in taxes as only a misdemeanor? Now that’s prescription-strength Denial! Moving on to The Big Guy, the WaPo equivocates:
“So far, the record suggests President Biden’s behavior was not spotless, but also not criminal.”
— ‘Hunter Biden shouldn’t get special treatment’
Platinum subscriber Bill Tyroler observes:
“Goalposts have been moved yet again. From you can’t prove the laptop was anything other than classic Russian disinformation, to you can’t prove Hunter profited off his business dealings, to you can’t prove Joe knew anything at all about those dealings, to you can’t prove Joe himself wet his beak in the cascade of dollars that poured in Biden Family coffers to … now, you can’t prove Joe was himself a criminal. Joe is not a crook, and WaPo wants you to know it.”
Blaska’s Bottom Line: The WaPost’s new partial, limited hang out (to use Watergate lingo), suggests the need to create a Blaska Policy Werkes continuum of criminal responsibility. The task before the faceless bureaucrats: Where, on a five-stage continuum, would “Not Spotless” land between Innocent and Lock ‘em Up!?
Innocent / Not Spotless / ??? / ??? / Lock ‘em Up!

Yummy! My tomatoes are the standard red kind–excellent in taste but bland in the looks department. It takes a kryptonite-infused green thumb to grow heirlooms that gorgeous.
Much appreciated high praise, Gary.
And after rasslin’ ~64 Tomato vines (a time-consuming intra-daily occurrence), thumbs aren’t the only appendages sporting a verdurous hue.

Hmmm seems like “not spotless” is the new “mostly peaceful”.
Joe can make all this go away by retiring to spend more time with his 6, hang on being told it’s 7, grandchildren.
Remember when journalists prided themselves on holding government officials (regardless of party affiliation) to account? Now they seem to be in a contest to see who can devise the most weasley euphemisms to protect Democrats.
Exactly!
Ben Dover Biden. The only questions are how far and how much$.
Lord save us from Pres. Harris.

“A faint journalistic pulse has been detected at The Washington Post”
Washington COMPost…they’re the rag that stopped their Lie-O-Meter on 01/20/2021, aren’t they?
But that was because DementiaJoKe doesn’t lie…right?
WaPo…January 20th…where’d The Gotch see those two collide in the same sentence.
Oh yeah: The Campaign To Impeach President Trump HAS BEGUN
On January 20th, 2017…the day he takes office?
Ah Lefty; so MUCH crushing hypocrisy, so little time!

It’s not just the DementiajOKe Criminalista Family, who are the toothlessly quintessential Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight, it’s the labyrinthine enabling despicable Lefty support apparatus behind them; to wit:
