Axios Alert:
Texas governor mandates face masks in public spaces
Why it matters: It’s a reversal for the Republican governor that underscores the seriousness of the coronavirus outbreak in Texas.
Why it just seems like the other day Screwie Louie was declaring he wouldn’t wear a face mask unless he got the Trump-Virus hisself.
Remember: the definition of “a Louie” …… a turd that will not flush.

Bucket – I have never heard that, and now my life is richer; they say knowledge is power and that if you can name it, you can fight it.
Not that I have ever had a Louie, mind you, so this is purely academic.

“Louie, Louie” was a candidate to replace “Washington, My Home” as the state song. I remember some of the kerfuffle. It was in 1985. Pro reps pointed out that more people know the words to Louie, Louie than to Washington, plus you can dance to it, My Home while anti’s countered the song change proposal, wanting to keep the original state song, with one argument being that most people can’t even understand the words.
Washington state modern history – this one is right up there with the tourism campaign “Say WA” and naming a set of nuclear plants “WOOPS”.

The four coronavirus bills had a taxpayer cost of around $2.4 TRILLION. That’s more than the lowball estimate of direct military expenditures on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars since 2001 combined. Not to mention the incalculable cost of nearly all Americans putting their lives on hold for months, sacrificing for the common good.
This is the month we all accept that all that ammo, all that effort was completely wasted. Nothing but lockdowns work when community transmission is widespread. And now the goons who sabotaged us are saying masks aren’t so bad after all?
Enjoy the fruits of Republican governance, folks. The big enchilada starts in about 90 days. We won’t be ready. It’s going to be bad.

S P – individually, we can do a lot, when it comes to protecting ourselves and our loved ones from contracting this illness, and BE ready in the next 90 – 120 days.
Collectively, however, we’re fucked, well and truly, with nary a kiss before or after.
