Mike Pence finally comes out and says the obvious -- will this do anything to set what has pretty much become the Despot Idiot Party on a path to recovery?
Probably not, for,
as Jim Jordan would say,
"Ah, I'd have to go Ah, Ah, I'd, I"...
and, of course, by now, there's new information that Jordan's equivocation re January 6 timeline was due to equivocation,
certainly no surprise that Liars of a Feather would Fabricate Together...
More on this, meanwhile our hero Joe Biden reports stronger-than expected job numbers and activity on the home front includes editing
St. Paul Suite, Op. 175 (2007)
IV. Blind
and updating the Works site for
Nocturnes for Insomniacs, Op. 10 (1977).

Opening day of the 2022 Winter Olympics, hosted by China, with
Yalqun Kamalturk, from China's oppressed Uighur minority, as toruchbearer (the ceremony diplomatically boycotted by the Austalia, Canada, Lithuania, United Kingdom, and· United States), with a
ceremonial soundtrack of Verdi, Elgar, et al (nothing discernably Eastern however)... And, speaking of soundtracks, that of the day includes
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) - Symphony No. 8 in F Major (1812): III. Tempo di Menuetto,
Anton Arensky (1861-1906) - Orchestral Suite No. 1, Op. 7 (1885),
Richard Strauss (1964-1949) - Alpine Symphony, Op. 64 (1915),
Jef Van Hoof (1886-1959) - Symphonic Suite No. 1 (1919), and
Kurt Atterburg (1887-1974) - Symphony No. 2 in F Major, Op. 6 (1913)....
Oh, and a spectacular overnight of REM, to wit:

February 3-4
8am Big Elaborate Live Wedding Plan for Harriet and Me,
Several Protestant Clergy Invited to Participate -- Chris Erdman / Norm Pott,
and a Big Lutheran Guy, But Then This Jovial Also-Large Priest Arrives and
He Takes Over, He Has Everything Well-Prepared for an Extremely Grand But Generic
Wedding Reception, Lots for the Kiddies By Which to Be Entertained, a Plethora of Food,
Gigi Is In Mix, Too, But Now Overshadowed, a Grand Outdoor Do,
Better Alcoholic Refreshments, When We Move Some of Initial Set-Up By Others,
Items Break, So It Seems We're Going in the Right Projessional Way,
Priest Has Brought a Female Assistant, He Is a Bit Bossy However,
Orders Me to Have Bride Hurry It Along,
But By This Point It Seems to Be Tisha's Wedding, and She Will Not Be Rushed,
Priest Calls Me Upstairs to This Castle Turret Area, and, as He Looks Out Window and
Down Turret Occasionally, He Asks, Now I Have a Serious Question,
How Old Do You Want Tom Mix to Be? If He's an Unrealistic Young Man,
Kids Will Be Delighted, But If He's the Age He Should Be, He'll Be Relly Old,
I Realize How Irrelevant All This Generic Planning Is, and Say to Him,
You Don't Understand, Harriet and I Are a Unique Couple,
and We Need a Unique Wedding for Us and Our Friends, I Burst Out at One Pont and Say
(vs a Vis Mix), What the Fuck Would that Matter, Scandalizing Him and Assistant,
Who Is Now Temporarilly a Young Girl, I Brush Off Vulgarity and Anger,
Jovially Getting Down on Kneees to be Forgiven, They Accept,
I Explain That Their Services Will Not Be Needed, But Can We Make a Donation,
He Hems and Haws, I Ask, Do You Have a Card,
He Eventually Produces One Upon Which For Me to Write, But Then an Address Appears,
and I Assure Him that Donation Will Be Made,
I Explain That Harriet and I Have Been Together for 22 Years, Love Each Other Dearly,
But Are Really Only Getting Married at This Point to Deal w/ Retirement / Social Security,
Ministers Assure Me That I Am Doing the Right Thing, I Explain to Harriet, She's Pleased,
and Gigi Will Be Able to be the Caterer After All, But Perhaps We've Gleaned a Few Tips
for a Slightly More Opulent and Professional Presentation. No Tom Mix, Though....
Hug the Priest and Woman/Girl Assistant tearfully Before They Depart...
Tisha Can Barely fit in Harriet's Dress, Bursting at the Seems...
9am Trying to Take Picture, Then Panorama, From Old Library Door Before Sonoma Springs
Brewery, with a Descending Pizza Delivery Guy in View...
Pouring Milk Into a Tankard of Bouillon...
