News Headline: “Boehner: We can disagree without being disagreeable.”
Which is what House Speaker John Boehner said in remarks today.
Except the headline is from 2010.
But we shouldn’t give up hope.
For at least another 10 minutes.
The Tea Party would like a word with you, Mr. Speaker
QT Rules of Etiquette for Guys and Dolls
+ All Christmas decorations should be taken down after the Twelve Days of Christmas.
+ Which ended yesterday.

+ Ho, Ho, Ho!
And away we go!
News Item: “A CNN ‘doomsday’ video, long discussed but never seen publicly, was published today . . . a minute-long rendition of “Nearer My God to Thee” . . . to be played at the very end of the world. . . .”
A little musical accompaniment never hurts.

Where is Jackie Gleason when humanity needs him?

News Headline: “Louie Gohmert: Hate crimes bill will lead to Nazism”
News Headline: “Gohmert links gun control, bestiality.”
News Headline: “Gohmert: Just talking about immigration reform leads to child sex slavery.”
News Headline: “Gohmert tosses hat in ring for House speaker.”
Except it’s well established that so-called “hat-tossing” can lead to terrorist necrophilia.
QT Yellowstone Caldera (the eruptions of which can be violent enough to send a layer of ash six feet deep as far away as Chicago and which erupts every 600,000 or so years and last erupted 640,000 years ago) update
Scientists reassure us that ground deformations in north-central Yellowstone have returned to “near background levels” for now after “a fascinating year of ups and downs.”
When will the politicians stop letting us down?
News Headline: “Americans’ dissatisfaction with government tops concerns, Gallup poll finds.”
Not cited as a concern by Americans was their voting turnout of 36.4 percent in 2014.
Probably just one of those oversights.

Resolved. . . .
News Headline: “18 apps to help you keep your New Year’s resolutions.”
That is, for those who didn’t resolve not to acquire any more apps this year.
Or there is always this New Year’s resolution:
I resolve to support QT’s efforts in a new way.
Medi.ci is gone.
Patreon.com is here.
It can be done at this link.
Nothing was said about resolving not to use links.
And support in any amount is appreciated.
Greetings and facilitations
