Tonight's movie is Girl Crazy (1943) starring Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland, featuring the music of George and Ira Gershwin with Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra. Lots of singing and dancing cowboys, Rooney cutting up, and Garland being wonderful.

I'm all bundled up and barricaded in my bunker to survive the great storm. French toast for breakfast and I just had a Monte Cristo sandwich for lunch. Someone tell me when the storm ends so I can begin shoveling my way out.

Earlier I advised people not to involve themselves with illegal activities. I quickly deleted the post. In the current version of America the Justice Department might investigate you for reminding people that breaking the law is illegal. Orwell missed one -- crime is patriotic.

"Racially gerrymandered?" Woah now, I'm sure the GOP didn't mean to do that.
Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems.
"Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map."
Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
