Did I tell you I’m having new countertops installed tomorrow? That means today the handyman is coming to tear out the sink and cooktop so – no kitchen for Fat Tuesday! And I’ve got to to pack up EVERYTHING. I took inventory last night and was surprised how much crap I’ve managed to cram into the cupboards and drawers of what is a very modest sized kitchen.
So as I need to get busy I leave you with this gem to process: AOC’s mother left New York for the comparative sanity of Florida precisely because of the high tax policy her daughter champions. Because in real life the “tax the rich” mantra sweeps up all the little people’s money before it ever gets to the big guys.
‘I lived in the New York area for most of my life but I started being unable to afford it,’ Blanca said in the living-room of her modest but tidy Florida house…The mother-of-two said the couple took a mortgage and received help from other family members who pooled some of their resources…Blanca said it was a no-brainer, adding: ‘I was paying $10,000 a year in real estate taxes up north. I’m paying $600 a year in Florida. It’s stress-free down here.’ – Daily Mail
And she claims her daughter never had plans for getting into politics
Early on, AOC didn't show signs she'd get into politics - except that she talked incessantly and itched to show off her brains, her mother said.
Yes, she still likes to strut out that Really Big Brain (RBB®) of hers. Unfortunately her RBM (really big mouth) often gets ahead of her RBB®.
You would think a RBB® would now that House Rules prohibit Members from using their power to make threats based on political affiliation
Mama added:
'She wasn't raised to be a socialist,' Mrs. Ocasio-Cortez said. 'That's not how Puerto Ricans are. She's a democratic socialist, and it's very different'
Now we know where AOC got that RBB® of hers. AOC should have used it study up on existing campaign finance laws before letting her chief of staff illegally move $885G in campaign contributions 'off the books,' according to a FEC complaint. Or paying her boyfriend from PAC funds.
Meanwhile, the good news for AOC is 1) Hillary is NOT running for president again, so the “First Female President” slot is still open, and 2) AOC looks to have all the attributes required to claim that title as her own: a RBB® (just ask her anything) and blatant disregard for the laws.
SPECIAL PROGRAMMING NOTE: don’t forget today is Fat Tuesday, aka Paczki Day (improbably pronounced “poonch-key” or ponch-key depending on where you are from)!
Savor your custard and jelly filled paczkis as Lent begins tomorrow - which is God’s way of giving you a second chance for your New Year’s resolution.

I thought fat tuesday and mardi gras were back in February. I wondered why they had king cakes at the store yesterday. I figured they were leftovers.
I want a king cake, but there isn’t a place within 40 miles that might have one here in Maine (I’d have to go to Lewiston.) I could have one delivered, but it’s $20 for the cake and $45 for the delivery.
Yes, a holiday names for Nadler. Five foot two and 400LBS Jerry this your day comon down. All you can eat again. Choke
Show off her boobs maybe. Nothing to see at the other location.
Redundant. "mardi gras" is French for: "fat Tuesday".
Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'll be going now....
FAT TUESDAY: We are having our 1st Quarter potluck lunch today at work. I think there will be meats and cheeses for sandwiches, with assorted bread/roll options. King cake. Chips (3 kinds) and dips (2 kinds). Lettuce salad. Potato salad. Pasta salad. Carrot cake. There are some fancy doughnuts and mini cinnamon rolls back there now.
Where I worked was a guy from Louisiana. He would bring a king cake every year. One year, I got the “baby”. I inquired as to what honor was to be bestowed on me as a result of this achievement. It was explained that I had just received the honor of buying the cake next year. Nowadays, I assume due to the choking hazzard, they dont bake the baby in the cake, but supply it as an accessory to be installed by the end user. A little anticlimactic, but... at least they havent demanded the baby be made available in different races or genders. Yet.
Mardi Gras: the time of year people in Louisiana get drunk long enough to forget for a while how much they hate Bama. :)
Good one:
Socialism debunked in two sentences:
1.All of the socialists could meet up, gather all of their wealth together and then divide it equally between themselves.
2.This has never happened.
Go out for FasNachts and dinner; let the kitchen get done and catch-up next year.
The baby also means you will have good luck for the next year.
And you have to buy the next one.
Socialist and democRATic Socialist are very different HOW?
She's even got her mom hoodwinked.
