What next?

The rascals were at it sooner than they let on.

What about unwatched? Boils over, can leave you with stuff in the pot turned to gook and stuck to the bottom, requiring extensive and lengthy clean-up measures.

An unusual “take” on this:

Franz Schubert, quoted in Maurice J.E. Brown, Schubert: A Critical Biography (New York: Da Capo, 1988), p. 233:

“I would rather eat dry bread than teach.”

Ralph E. Hone, Dorothy L. Sayers: A Literary Biography (Kent: Kent State University Press, 1979), p. 24:

One of her own students had overheard her saying: “I would rather sweep the streets than teach children!”

They are in my some-are-my-best-friends category, public-school teachers. But . . .

Running for governor, he says nuts to the usual debate arrangements:

“Typically, Republican statewide candidates fall prey to the trap of debates that are effectively a two against-one matchup, in which the mainstream media, who moderate the debates, are unpaid advocates and ideological allies of the Democrat candidates,” he said.

Says he and his opponent can work something out that confronts and negates the usual palsy-walsy Dems-and-tee-vee-buddies shows meant to satisfy lefties while cutting down the right.

Mastriano, a state senator who represents Gettysburg, wrote in a letter to Shapiro, the state’s attorney general, “I challenge you to two 90-minute debates in the month of October, one at a location of your choosing, and one at a location of my choosing.”

He suggested that each debate have two moderators, “again, one of your choosing and one of my choosing — who will be allowed an equal number of questions asked of each candidate. The topics for the debates can be open-ended with no limits.”

An equal-opportunity tangle. Should break viewing records.

Peddlers of Covid panic ‘fess up.

Same priest, a Carmelite, had cost the Los Angeles archdiocese very much money.

Another case against Boley, in which a woman accused him of abusing her as a child while he taught at Los Angeles’ St. Raphael Parish in the 1980s, was one of hundreds of abuse claims settled by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 2007.

The Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ $660 million payout to settle the Boley abuse claim and more than 500 others remains the largest-ever settlement in the Catholic Church’s decades-long sexual abuse scandal.

When asked whether the Archdiocese of Chicago was aware of abuse accusations against Boley upon his arrival at St. Clara-St. Cyril in 1987, [spokesman] Gonzales directed Block Club to the Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary.

Yes or no. Question is whether A knew, A says ask someone else.

Polls of the U.S. public continue to show that up to twice as many Americans have lost a household member.

Polls of the U.S. public continue to show that up to twice as many Americans have lost a household member to a Covid vaccine injury as have lost one to Covid.

The pooled results of five surveys of the American public, now totalling over 2,500 people, show that while 4.4% of respondents reported that someone in their household had died from COVID-19, 8.9% said someone had died as a result of Covid vaccination.

Twice as many.

A rich lode here. Read on.
