34 The name of the woman is familiar to me, mostly because of the hairstyle named after her. But I'm lacking in my French history. She was active just before and during the French Revolution, yes?

In any event, the painting is colorful and I love the texture of the green dress. And her hind paws do seem kind of small.

35 A Pleasant Visage Can Hide a Multitude of Sins - a limerick

Adjusts and rearranges all her widgets

67 Oh yeah, I do like these paintings: wonderful detail well executed, brilliant colors that offset the delicate, if idealized, skin tones, and the quasi-classical themes. (The nude women in his works show that 'comfortable' female look of the 1700s with a bit of flesh instead of skin over bone current today.)

There is so much to observe in this and similar style paintings. They must be spectacular to see in person.

BTW, his Wiki page has some great crayon images he did for models. Worth a look to see what can be accomplished with simple materials.

If you follow the line of her neck down, you'll see the slope of the shoulder beginning. But then that cluster of flowers interrupts the view. And the angle of her forearm and hand is such that the upper bone of her arm would be about 25% longer than normal, well, people.

"If something resides in a classified setting, then it should be appropriately marked," Adams said. "I'm not at all familiar with unmarked documents that reside in a classified space, no."


Veritas didn't ask DARPA if the documents were real, they asked why they were stored on a classified drive. Thus the non answer bureaucrat-ese answer.

Sure. Wash your hands, cover your cough. But don't expect me to lock myself in the house when I get a cold. I am not indifferent to your recent illness. If you are at higher risk, you have to take more precautions to protect yourself. My kid was sent to the nurses office yesterday because he sneezed. Ffs!
Posted by: Cat Ass Trophy at January 11, 2022 09:57 AM (F4b8f)

Before the wuflu most Americans went on with their lives despite cold symptoms, with fever being the indicator to stay home (kids had to be fever free for 24h to return to school). I went to work many times with colds, and was expected to do so. CAT is correct about trips to the nurse or being sent home over a sneeze which could have been brought about by dust. Expecting people with the sniffles to lock down is silly, or it used to be.

We can go too far in either direction. Heading out to work or school with influenza and a dose of tylenol (masking your symptoms) is not ok, but employers are rather punitive toward people with work absences. At my former employer, it was not uncommon to see people getting warnings and even suspensions over staying home with actual illnesses..one could only get sick 3x annually.

Oh, no -- this was Purolator Courier, a subsidiary of the filter company. We delivered packages and letters to businesses, the way Federal Express does. They came along a little later and did it better, with air-conditioned vans. We Puro guys sweated like the proverbial pigs.

At one point the company would take almost anything. I delivered fresh cow's liver to a suburban residence -- the guy needed some extract of it for his health. And while I never had live animals, one of my fellow drivers had to transport cages of lab rats. He was a germophobe; wore cotton gloves all day at work. Well, one day the rats got loose in the van. No panel separated the cargo and driver compartments. I heard he abandoned the van on the street and walked away for good.

I think he knows which way the wind is blowing in the upcoming House. He needs to be Trumpian to get the job.

But, once he has the job, he'll have the political tools to do whatever he wants anyway while delivering nothing because they don't have the presidency.

The Republican caucus should reject his bid for speakership on the first ballot and either get real concessions related to chairmanships at the minimum, or just find someone who isn't so completely spineless and on our side.

I am in position to judge Cruz's parenting, but what I do know is that our institutions (public schools, etc.), popular culture, and evil activists are targeting our kids with their deviant sex and activism. I would be amazed if Cruz's (and all Republicans') kids are *not* specifically being targeted by these creepy people to be used against them.

We all saw how they took out Kellyann Conway. Regardless of what one thought of her and her asshoe husband, their kid was exploited and weaponized against them. It was disgusting.

So what? Lying to Congress is a game everyone plays for fun and profit. No one is punished for it if they're on the right team. I have spent most of my adult life watching people clearly and obviously lie with impunity to Congress and suffer no consequences. Congressmen, industrialists, financiers, agency heads, low-level employees, all of them. They all lie to Congress. Lying to Congress is just the way things work.

But if it taste like it was soaked in the same bog they fished out Tollund Man, then no.

458 Madame de Pompadour was one of the most interesting women in history; not only was she beautiful, and the courtesan of a king, but she was also highly intelligent and well educated. She was easily the intellectual equal of any of the French philosophers and scientists of her day, and she was the primary financial patron of Voltaire. She died relatively young, at the age of only 42.

Politico says human teleprompter will say,

"this as one of the rare moments in a country's history when time stops and the essential is immediately ripped away from the trivial, and that we have to ensure Jan. 6 doesn't mark the end of democracy but the beginning of a renaissance for our democracy."
