[It’s remarkable how well these C19 utility functions perform in their ability to predict the statements – ranging from policies to pabulum – of the three cohorts today exhorting us to do this vs that.

C19utilitiesFor those comfortable with such models of the realworld, they compress a whole lot of explanatory power about the debate to loosen the lockdown. (more here).  gjr]

    Nothing is as unsightly as seeing you caught red handed without a clue, pants around your ankles, and you ass flapping in the wind. Maybe somebody will have feel pity, have compassion on your situation, and with patience, caring, and much long suffering bring you up to speed. Maybe someone will, but it sure as heck ain’t going to me. If you want to stay back in 2017, be my guest

    Justice delayed is justice denied. Morning quotes
    Upright: β€œWe already have more compelling evidence that the Obama administration engaged in misconduct than we ever did for opening the Russian-collusion investigation.” β€”David Harsanyi
    … β€œSo I ask the FBI again: How is your leak investigation going? I know how your Michael Flynn investigation went. I know the time and effort you spent to try to catch someone in a lie. How is your 10-year felony investigation going? It has been four years now.” β€”Trey Gowdy
    Insight: β€œWelfare’s purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence.” β€”Ronald Reagan
    For the record: β€œEverything does not depend on a vaccine.” β€”Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar
    Non compos mentis: β€œThe Green New Deal is a non-binding resolution of values. It does not have a price tag or CBO score and costs us $0 if passed.” β€”Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
    Demo-gogues: β€œDoing what feels good. what’s convenient, what’s easy. That’s how little kids think. Unfortunately, a lot of so-called grownups with fancy titles and important jobs still think that way. That’s why things are so screwed up.” β€”Barack Obama
    Never let a crisis go to waste: β€œTo tell you the truth, that if there is any silver lining in this midst of this terrible, terrible, and unprecedented moment in American history, in terms of the economy and in terms of the pandemic, it is that maybe we start rethinking some fundamental tenets about the way our government and society work.” β€”Bernie Sanders
    Cry us a river: β€œSo yeah it really hurt to have my old seat flip back to Republican β€” for a ton of people & also for me. In fact, it was pretty fβ€”ing devastating. I went offline & cried for a few days but, as always, getting ready to stand back up & keep fighting. Hope you are too.” β€”Katie Hill
    And last: β€œ@CNN Should Become a Cooking Network.” Buck down at Gropey Joe’s Cafe.

    Bill and Walt – We just had corn snow here on Cement Hill, and now it’s raining the proverbial cats and dogs. The fire has already been blazing for a couple of hours, and an infinite amount of firewood is available to keep things very comfortable. My remaining outside chore is to take the trash cans to the street with my little ATV (Honda Pioneer). Keep dry and stay well.

    No need to worry, according to VP Pense the virus will be largely behind us by next week. Here’s a direct quote
    “β€œI truly do believe that if we all continue to do that kind of social distancing and other guidance broadly from federal and state officials, that we’re going to put this coronavirus in the past,” Pence said on Geraldo Rivera’s radio show Friday . β€œI believe by early June we’re going to see our nation largely past this epidemic.
    β€œI think honestly, if you look at the trends today, that I think by Memorial Day weekend we will have this coronavirus epidemic behind us,” he added.
    That quote was from April 24. To think this man is VP is frighting. Is this an example or the dumbing down of America George if Pense actually believes that Americans would believe that

    Two veterans get to spend their last days together!
    Jackson would prove himself time and time again — keeping calm under fire and even enduring a 16-hour wait in a ditch, while he and Holt awaited rescue on one ill-fated mission detailed in the show.
    Holt and Jackson would form an incredible bond of partnership and friendship, which made their separation all the more difficult.
    When Holt retired from the U.S. Air Force he had to leave Jackson behind.
    “When he left, he was only allowed to take Jackson’s collar and leash,” narrated Bream, “And as Jackson continued his military career, Holt struggled to adjust to life as a civilian.”
    “I had nightmares from the day that I got back and gave Jackson up. I would wake up in panic attacks,” Holt told Fox Nation.
    Then finally, after seven years of struggle, Holt received the phone call that he had been hoping for — Jackson was available for adoption.
    “I thought it was a joke at first because everybody here knew how much I wanted Jackson and that I talked about him,” he remembered.
    Holt didn’t hesitate and his Indiana neighbors, who had heard all of Harvey’s stories about his friend and partner over the years, donated enough money for a plane ticket so that Jackson could be picked up in Washington D.C. and finally brought home.
