Content Friday, Gentle Users,
I sincerely hope this message finds you also.  ,
Have you voted already? I canceled my vote earlier this year. They sent the standard” I Voted” sticker with my vote. The novelty of wearing the sticker is lost in the fact that people do n’t go to the polls. Although I tossed mine away, I now know that virtually every tombstone in graves in Illinois and California has at least one, perhaps two.  ,

Carla Marinucci is a former contributor for Politico. By all accounts, she is a liberal and a native of Oakland, Calif. At this point in America’s history, you would about have to be a hard-core Lefty to also freely dwell in Oakland. As you know, Leftists everywhere, and not just in California, have long been proponents of defunding the police, the elusive, cryptic” community policing”, and in some cases, the execrable policy, “ACAB” . ,
Many of these same idiots are learning the hard way that life will still be bad if you live in a Democratic state, taste your Chardonnay, job, hang out with a flag, post a signal, and hate the Orange Guy while Jupiter coincides with Mars and the sun is in the Seventh House. And sometimes, they do n’t learn at all. National String notes that Marinucci is positively fed-up, ticked off, angry, upset, and then disenchanted after the next fuel theft at her Oakland home.
My dad’s vehicle was parked in the driveway for the next time this summer when thieves broke into the vehicle and drained the fuel from the tank. Does one explain: is this an Oakland point? A CA point? Is there anything you can do to stop it? WTF @OaklandPoliceCA— Carla ‘ Bluechecked’ Marinucci ( @cmarinucci) October 22, 2024
Yes, Carla, it is an Oakland issue. It is also a CA issue. Additionally, it may spread throughout the country if your candidate is elected. And “WTF @OaklandPoliceCA”? Carla, you live in Oakland. OAKLAND. Do you never leave the house, or has the Progress of Progressivism weakened your emotions enough to make you think that if you continue to believe that things will eventually resolve themselves if you just clap your hands, believe in fairies, and vote Democrat, then things will eventually settle?  ,

Between the serious crimes, updating their resumes, and checking the job openings, Oakland cops do n’t have the time to worry about your gas tank. Yes, Carla, you voted for this, perhaps several times. You actually sat down at the political snacks counter and said,” Gimmie, a nonsense sandwich on wheat with a large glass of bathroom water.”
The denizens of X seemed to concur:
They just need bread for their families.

Oh no! Carla, it’s just your way of making repairs every day. You ought to enjoy doing it.

She not only LIVEs in a city that advocates depolicing, but she is also the primary advocate for those policies herself!

Why did Carla and her husband own a truck with an internal combustion engine in the first place, as good progressives, I believe is the question that no one is asking. Their EV is missing. With EVs, you never have to worry about gas thefts. You just need to be concerned that your house will catch fire and burn down. Then again, this is Oakland. If your EV does n’t burn down your house, somebody else probably will.
Well, I’ll be a son of a witch.
Actually, I am the son of a closet wiccan, but that’s another story for another time.  ,
You know it is a close election when the nation’s witches decide to intervene with hexes, spells, curses, or whatever. Reddit’s witches are perplexed and frustrated that Donald Trump’s alleged deception does n’t work:

Trump is being cast spells on Reddit, but the” Witches” are upset because they believe he has” some kind of protection around him.” pic. twitter.com/WdCaAsUTtH— Reddit Lies ( @reddit_lies ) October 22, 2024
I admit, I’m a little unclear on the rules, but are witches supposed to say “godspeed”? It strikes me as somewhat counterproductive. Actually, the whole scenario does n’t surprise me, I remember reading about this in” Harry Potter and the Stolen Ballots”.
Wine recommendation
Because we’re in the final stretch of the most significant election in history, and all the jokes aside, it might actually be the most significant election this time.
After a week off from a conference at a resort that demanded way too much for a mai tai or scotch on the rocks, it was a welcome return to the moderately priced alcohol of home. I grabbed a white from the shelves yesterday because I was a little too in a rush. Discover the Gaspard Sauvignon Blanc.
This product of France’s Loire Valley is heavy on citrus, especially lemon. Mrs. Brown, who is not a big fan of whites, enjoyed it, but I found the lemon to be overwhelming, which made the wine seem overly aggressive with the first glass. It took a few sips to get past that, but once I did, I discovered that it had the right amount of dryness and a tangy effect on the palate with a respectable finish. While lemon has the best flavor, you can also find some grapefruit, a hint of green apples, and cut grass. And yes, before you ask,” cut grass” is a commonly used descriptor for dry whites.

All in all, it was a good bottle. I was n’t ready for the blast of citrus, but once you settle into the glass, you wo n’t be disappointed. It can be served with the typical white wine dishes, but it would go best with soft cheese and crackers.
That’s it for me. Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you next time.
