I read the Joyce Vance piece. She lays out the facts well. Brnovich is a con man who should be disbarred. A card carrying member of the Federalist mafia.
Nothing compares to the enthusiasm of a dog team leaping into their harnesses before they are released and the instant transformation into a silent magical unit speeding along the trail❤️. Hike! Gee! Haw! Bliss!
The Cochrane reviews were named after my grandfather’s cousin, Archibald Cochrane. He was a pioneer in evidence-based medicine, and I am appalled that they published such a low quality meta analysis.
During my time working in Denali back in the early 2000’s for a summer, one of the things I did in my spare time was to walk a sled dog. Or rather she “walked” me! Sled dogs are always chained up because of their devoted love of running. You would never see your dog again otherwise. Anyway, during the summer, when there is no snow for them to pull a sled, they need to be exercised. So my sweet charge would quickly pull me up the hill from the sled dog camp and along the road for as long as I could take it before taking her back to her home and giving her a good brush. One of my great joys, when I returned to Denali 2 yrs later to visit friends I had made, was the fact that she instantly recognized me from over 100 yards away when I went to visit her. Such highly intelligent animals with a deep passion for running. It was a joy to have her be my buddy for the summer.
And a terrible idea for the dog as well. I visited one of the top Iditarod Race winners while I was in Alaska, and he kept his dogs chained up on the hot walkers we normally see used to cool off race horses after their workouts and races. Every day he would release the break and let the dogs run for a few hours to get their summer exercise. He told us one time he took the break off and kept it off to see how long the dogs would run before getting tired. He said after an entire day, which up there is 24 hrs long, he had to put on the break to stop their running, that they were not even a little pooped. He said even retired sled dogs will want to run as much as their owners allow them. It is just who they are and what they love. I think it would break their hearts to not be able to do what they love.
When I lived in Buffalo, I had a Alaskan Malamute. We also bought a dog sled. Unfortunately, she wouldn't pull the sled unless someone ran in front of her with a dog biscuit. Sort of defeats the purpose of a sled!!!
Awesome pic ! It’s almost as if we’re riding along with you and Jill.😎
Bret Stephens( sigh) 2/21 NYT OpEd was titled : Mask Mandates Did Nothing. Will Any Lessons Be Learned?
Authors’ conclusions from the Cochrane analysis that Stephens cited :
“The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions.”
Apparently Stephen’s bias is causing him to draw his own “firm conclusions”.
We are all spoiled when it comes to prosecuting crimes because in our favorite crime shows a crime is committed and justice prevails all within 60 minutes. It feels like the wheels of Justice are slowly moving forward and the recent federal subpoenas are encouraging to say the least. A friend of mine told me that the recent subpoenas of Pence, Meadows and Jared and Ivanka are critical because the DOJ has lots of data from previous and past Interviews as a basis to question these folks and get to the truth. They can’t hide behind the fifth amendment and the feedback to Trump about the questions being asked should send a message to him that he is in deep deep trouble. It may take some time to clear the executive privilege hurdles but more than ever I am convinced Justice will prevail.
As tiresome and laborious as it is accuratelyto keep telling the story of Republican duplicity and occasional treacherousness, it is critically important that it be done. I very much appreciate your doing so on a regular schedule.
Another great picture. Maybe the weekend extra should be a compilation of the photos you've taken.
Politico is reporting this morning that the comments from the GA Grand Jury foreperson have potentially jeopardized Ms. Willis' ability to prosecute. Sounds and reads like clickbait for a slow news day to me but, not being an attorney, I'd like to hear from someone with more background.
Dave I have read several other articles and while her comments were not great the “ experts” I read said she actually said very little harmful stuff but the medias interpretation of what she said and what it meant was way off base
1) How lucky you are to mush with all those beautiful dogs.
2) If you really want to know how the catastrophic train wreck happened first find out how much the RR spend on lobbying Congress and state governments. How much PAC money and political money did the RR spend and who got it and what committees did they serve on. It usually cheaper in the short term to diddle the regs, but in the long run it costs the whole country and the RR a lot of money. Same for coal mines, etc.
I was afraid the AZ ex-AG story would go underreported, but it’s a top front page story in todays DALLAS MORNING NEWS! More of this.
Yay! when I read about it yesterday, I figured it was going to fade completely.
Love Today's Edition today, Robert. Adore the photo! Dog sledding? In Alaska? I'm pea green with envy!
I read the Joyce Vance piece. She lays out the facts well. Brnovich is a con man who should be disbarred. A card carrying member of the Federalist mafia.
Enjoy the dogs!
I urge everyone to read Vance’s article. Important and outrageous.
I agree entirely. I read it last night and my jaw dropped. The unbelievable behavior these people managed to get away with is mind boggling
The rule of law is hanging on by a thread, and I fear the damage will linger for years.
Joyce Vance explained so well, logically, clear, easy to understand.
Horrifying.
Here’s a new development…
The current Arizona Secretary of State is calling for his (Brnovich) disbarment.
Agree! And love your term: Federalist Mafia.

They have such a sterling reputation, too, which I’m afraid will sway readers. I’m sorry about this :(

We want to adopt a sled dog! But seems like a bad idea for Los Angelenos.

I did not know this about sled dogs and running. Amazing that they can go forever and never get tired.
Opps that should be release the “brake”, not break.

For what’s worth, I did write to NYT.

From Denialad: donbialostosky.substack.com
AZ’s former AG found his lodestar
In former US AG William Barr,
Whose bold partisan misrepresentations
Of inconvenient truths by expurgation
Set a standard difficult to match.
But Brnovich attempted to outmatch
His model’s mauling the Mueller report
With his repeated efforts to distort
And bury his own staff’s investigation
That found no fraud or voting aberrations
In Maricopa County, where results
Had been subjected to right-wing insults
And barrages of wild speculation
And unfair, unwarranted castigation.
‘Cause Brnovich was trying to appease
Primary voters whom truth would displease,
He vaguely covered the truth with the ruse
Of “problematic systemwide issues”
And didn’t issue the complete report
That would have contradicted his purport.
AZ, a hotbed of false fraud assertions,
Was further misinformed by his exertions.
Clever rhymes, Don.
Robert,
We lived in Alaska for 3 1/2 years in the early 70’s. We loved it! However, if and when we go back it won’t be in Winter. You are a brave man!
Glad you are enjoying it. You deserve it.
Safe travels today, Robert and Jill.

Wow. The dog sled ride needs a FULL report with pictures. Just terrific.
PS Will read Vance shortly but am going to visualize the sled and the dogs and the whishing through the stunning and cold countryside first.
Agree wholeheartedly, Carole. A FULL REPORT with pictures, Mr. Hubbell!
I love that photo! Particularly as I’m seeing it from my 68-degree dining table.
😆

Thanks Stephen. This was the first article I read today and it wasn't a great way to start.
Clickbait.
Thanks Jon.
Masks work (ask any surgeon), so I will happily wear mine when around a lot of people.
All it takes is one person, Marsha. If you're susceptible, wear it when with even one person.
