It was my fault: I visited the bathroom at 3 am, tried to be quiet, but you can&#8217;t fool those keen dog ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can tell you that I&#8217;m bloody sick of political news.  Republican complaints about Biden&#8217;s Executive Orders are already mounting, and it&#8217;s same old\/same old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Misstatements abound.  For example, stopping the Keystone Pipeline would result in the loss of 1,000 permanent full-time jobs and about four months of temporary jobs, not one million.  Hardly a blip on the country&#8217;s growing rate of unemployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deluge of made-up &#8220;facts&#8221; continues, too.  A right-wing bimbo was forced to recant her absurd claim that a $15 minimum wage would result in a $38 burrito.  In the real world, Taco Bell told PolitiFact, &#8220;at our company-owned restaurants in New York City, where the minimum wage is $15 an hour, our Bean Burrito is $1.89 plus tax.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I heard both Romney and Rubio on Chris Wallace&#8217;s show yesterday.  It was striking to note how the former came across as an adult and the latter as a juvenile whiner.  Maybe Ivanka would be a better choice for Senator after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, I&#8217;ve lost or misplaced a slipper and a face mask accessory.  It wouldn&#8217;t be a surprise if they were buried under paperwork somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I woke up yesterday, or maybe the day before, feeling better than I had in a long time.This morning, Teddy and I got up too early, so it&#8217;s hard to know exactly how I feel compared to yesterday.
