Wait, so they dusted it with cocoa powder and then put those frosting dollops on top of that? The lid might have been the only thing holding those in place.

Absolutely! Maybe even mid-December.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem with stores selling holiday stuff way in advance of the holiday. Some people want to get their decorations all lined up, be working on crafts, or whatever. What I object to is when stores decorate for the holiday way in advance. I don’t want to see Christmas trees and snow men in October or pumpkins and witches in July.

I agree she’s not a progressive, and I wish she was. But I think she’s pretty effective at working the system to get things done, and she still seems pretty shrewd. I mean, the linked article makes a good case that she outplayed both McConnell and McCarthy.

The article’s point is that the committee was successful because of who was in it, and Pelosi was the one who orchestrated that, not showing McConnell or McCarthy to get away with their shit.

I sure feel that way about Feinstein, but Pelosi still seems to be one of the more effective politicians.
