A million years how could there possibly br that much moisture

Johnson is not a useful idiot. He sees to it that his cronies get their share of appropriations, and in order to make that happen he must also see to it that the Dems’ cronies get their share of appropriations. He is executing the spending parameters his predecessor Kevin McCarthy negotiated with Joe Biden long ago. It was reported way back in May that Johnson was going to do this.
“I think people understand we need to build back the muscle memory of actually doing our appropriations work. I think that means we need to come as close as possible to passing total appropriations bills out here before we leave for August,” said Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.), who chairs the pragmatic Main Street Caucus.
So far, House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) has released top lines for each funding bill that largely mirror parameters set by then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and President Biden last May, which the House Freedom Caucus has revolted against.
The Republican-controlled House does not have to allow one dollar of additional spending. All they have to do to block spending is nothing. Instead, they give Democrats what they want so that Republicans can get the appropriations they want, and next year they will have another fake debt ceiling fight where once again they pretend they are against the spending they voted for, they pretend to be against raising the debt ceiling, then they raise the debt ceiling and go on spending just as they did before.
It will go on this way as long as Republican voters tolerate it, but the first step would have to be remembering things that happened longer than six months ago, and the second step would have to be to stop crapping on the minority of Republican Congressmen who actually try to stop it.

Because the oceans are huge, and the sun continually evaporates water back into the air to fall as rain again.
My favorite Christmas song has long been https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dsgAHKkxuY. As kids, my parents always bought the Firestone Christmas albums. This was always the first song I’d play, and then play the album.
Those Christmas songs are both a whole lot better than the modern dreck they run at the supermarket. Personally, I prefer religious Christmas carols, but I suppose they can’t play those at the grocery store lest they “offend” someone.
There are many Christmas songs I love, but “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” is, for me, #1. Just a tad above many, many that are a close second, to my ear.
It has a sort-of, “Greensleeves,” feel to it, a song which neo has written about several times. And I do also love, “What Child is This?” based on the “Greensleeves” melody, but I prefer “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” just a bit more. “Good King Wenceslaus” is another of my favorites with a similar sound.
All the water on the Earth is pretty much a fixed ammount (Snowball Earth). Water cycles through the atmosphere, upper crust, and oceans – the hydrologic cycle.
It may rain more or water may be tied up in glaciers during a particular geologic time.
The Earth is about 3.6 billion years old (look it up for a better (more accurate) number. A million years isn’t too long geologically.
Oh boy, here we go again.

What ever happened to “40 days and 40 nights”?
Sheesh…You’d think that’d be enough for most people….
“Biden” (continued…but for how long, O Lord, how long….?)…

Culture of corruption(TM).
Culture of disruption.
Culture of perversity….
Time to start posting some great Christmas music. Like this one from Peggy Lee.
