Good graphic!

I needed that. Things have been so dismal, politically speaking.

Did Michele beat her up to the tune of “Beat it”?

“The Humboldt squid can be very big and very powerful and they may be dangerous,” Sgt. Rains said. “It’s just something I wouldn’t mess with until you’re sure that it’s dead. They’ve got a lot of suckers and claws and a parrot like beak and they can inflict some damage.”

Humboldt squid = congresscritters. No wonder they aren't kosher.

Thanks for posting that picture.

First, I am glad she is healing from her injury, and wish her good health.

Second, isn’t it rather odd that we only barely heard about her fall/injury in the MSM????

Like the woman who comes to work with a black eye, and says she ran into the door?

Looks like she has a new attitude as well.

My husband is a geologist. He said there was possibly a compression wave, from the earthquake, like a small bomb going off, that shocked the squid. How can there be ‘no correlation?’

Those squid down in the Sea of Cortez have been known to attack swimmers devour human flesh. They attack in swarms at night from the deep. Not recommended for night time swimming if they are found in groups in the area.

from the article

“got a lot of suckers and claws and a parrot like beak and they can inflict some damage.”

where do I get a fancy black arm sling WITH A PRESIDENTIAL SEAL?

How can there be ‘no correlation?’

Because they need time to think up some way to blame it on human-caused global warming.

Should be a double headed mutated squid ... and I know you will guess who the other one will be .... I guarantee you will know.... : )

[B-Chan]

That’s the seal of the Secretary of State...

“beachgoers ran to the rescue and tried frantically to save them by throwing them back in the water.”

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Bunny huggers are funny.

Don’t you think it strange that her thighness has been sent out to pasture lately?

[Slings and Arrows]

Sashimi for everyone!
