I get a call almost daily from scammers trying to pry my Medicare number out of me. If I'm in the mood to play with them the call goes something like this.

Scammer: Medicare has authorized a free brace for you,

Me: Medicare doesn't authorize anything. It has to be a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant.

S: Yes, our staff physician authorized this through Medicare

M: OK How is it free, there's always co-payment.

S: We are waiving the co-payment

M: OK send it along

S: First we need your Medicare number

M: You said this was approved through Medicare. You must already know my Medicare number.

S: (Getting irritated). Why are you making this so difficult? I don't have access to you number at my location; just give me your number so I can send your free brace.

M: I'm making it difficult because I'm a retired hospital CFO and I know you're trying to scam Medicare.

S: Click. Sometimes preceded by FU

Fascinating animal facts (as much "Breaking News" as half the other crap on this thread):

- Woodchuck and groundhog? same animal
- Reindeer and caribou? pretty much the same animal

and finally (you can probably tell where this is going)...

- Cougar and mountain lion? Same animal!


I measured my ***** once.
It was about average.


Too blunt?

How exactly does one measure one's brain?
haha
There's a joke in here about those who do their thinking with their little head instead of their big head.

Low turn out. Republicans never turn out for off cycle elections, I'll never understand it. I'll give dems credit for that

Republicans used to have an advantage in these. They've given up the high-propensity voters.

First-time candidate Taylor Rehmet, 33, defeated his GOP opponent in a special election in a district Donald Trump carried by more than 17 points in 2024.

The vote was reportedly 57 - 43.
Trump's endorsement got CRUSHED

In other words, the tide is turning.
Never mind this was a deeply RED district.

They will never admit. They will continue to throw everything they can at Trump instead of actually trying to do better for their voter base

Special elections are always lower turnout than a proper midterm or presidential, but the partisan makeup of the electorate does not look significantly different from a normal election. It can't just be blamed on Dems turning out at a higher rate. Republicans have lost support.

It absolutely can be blamed on that because that's what happened.

Eating out is gonna get expensive. Btw Barbara's small business she co-owned with her mother was pretty much entirely government contracts.

Barbara Lee co-founded W.C. Parish Company, Inc., a facilities management company, which she operated alongside her mother. The company grew to employ over 400 people and was involved in securing federal contracts during her political career.

Hey, if BS88 and others want to whistle past the graveyard, I say let them have their heads in the sand. November will be that much sweeter.

I posted something about how much Twitter/X is catering to the right-wing bubble these days, and I think we're seeing the effects of that. So it goes. Maybe we'll be wrong about the next elections. I certainly have been before!
