While busy making sure that more than two thousand businesses in the Puget Sound area have been shuttered due to COVID, the local government in King County has some advice for us on how to practice safe COVID Sutra. It involves not staying at home, which it has advised us to do because, COVID, so as to make sure that the sex act is COVID safe. Which is just another reason to wonder what the heck is going on here? Rod has your final BEER of the WEEK, while Dave wanders down the HISTORICAL RABBIT HOLE of the WEEK, a return to his own childhood and the month’s biggest Birthday Boy.

I have long said that I think that the idea of an Article V convention is never going to be a feasible thing. I truly believe that it was placed into the Constitution as a defense mechanism rather than any actual intent for use. More of a “just in case,” than the actual plan for amendment. That said, what if I – or you – could sit down with a group of like-minded people and revise or even replace the Constitution? What would I – or you – come up with? Even in a group of like-minded Conservative almost libertarian-leaning people, I doubt that I would find 100% agreement with a group of fifty-five people. What would be the odds that my vision, or even the rest of that small group’s vision, meshing well enough with another group that politically disagrees with me (us) in a way that might actually work?* So what would Dave like to change in the Constitution? What would you like to see changed or revised? *Better than 1 in a quadrillion, I am guessing

Even more growing COVID-19 stupidity. In some places in Rod’s home state, even walking is now considered an “unnecessary activity” and is thus banned by the powers that be. Meanwhile, Dave can still walk, but not by himself on a socially distanced treadmill at a now verboten gym. The mall, on the other hand, with its crowds and lines of people waiting to get into stores that are limited to six people inside them, is just fine and dandy to walk about inside. The monolith was not taken back by aliens, but rather by Social Media zealots who want you to know that they didn’t want to do it, but you made them do it and they have to tell you about it. It has been definitively proven that Die Hard IS a Christmas movie. There is no longer any question about the matter.
