Dibs on "Illegal Underground Grandma Karaoke Bars" as my band name

 

The San Francisco Mayor's dinner at the French Laundry was in accord with the state restrictions on dining out. Bad judgment politically but not really flaunting her status.

 

I keep up with the town my old shop is in. Local bowling alley/arcade/restaurant had 200 people in to "protest" the state's closure of indoor dining, which included this memorable quote from one of the organizers:

“It’s about supporting our local businesses, because we are going to die of starvation and communism if we don’t stay open."

Well, less than a week later, the state pulled their liquor license. They posted a sign on their door blaming the state liquor control board, the state departments of health and agriculture and the city police and said they would be closed until "after these parties feel like we have suffered enough and graciously allow us to get back to business."

I do believe, as the kids say, these folks fucked around and found out.

 

Covid Pfizer vaccine approved for use next week in UK

British government gives the thumbs-up to the Pfizer vaccine, with distribution to begin as soon as next week.

 

How quickly does Trump flip out that the UK is distributing a vaccine first?



Certainly hope the folks overseas have done their due diligence on this one. We need this to work. A backfire would be catastrophic.

 

I think it could be advantageous if it gets rolled out in the UK and/or Europe a couple weeks ahead of time. The lead time might be nice to prove it's working and safe before it widely reaches these shores. Then again, that's also what they said about thalidomide.

 

Certainly a convenient excuse.

 

In exactly the same way the Hollywood thing is thrown in as a conservative virtue signal on What Really Matters.

 

April:

 

I picked it because it’s in LA, and it’s probably frivolous in the What Really Matters sweepstakes. I like it fine.

 

Frivolous?

900000 Los Angeles jobs disagree.

 

yeah, again, don’t have a problem with Hollywood. Do have a great problem with the constant use of football as the juxtaposition to nurses.
