Marco Rubio shows us how to troll the Washington Post.

You do gotta feel sorry for the WaPo: they’ve been chasing the macaca for pretty much a decade by now. Why Bezos hasn’t arranged for an intervention is beyond me. Maybe he knew that he was buying a junkie paper that needed a fix, man?

Quote of the Day, Things Aren’t Chipper On The Other Side, Either edition.

They are freaking out at the thought of Mike Bloomberg jumping in…

…and that makes a lot of sense. Bloomberg would drain votes from the Democrats like nobody’s business. The GOP? Not so much. Man has a name for pettiness.

PS: The reality, of course, is that in a three person race where the Democrats were split into two rival factions the GOP candidate would just simply win. Just like in 1968, really.  But then, Dan Pfeiffer has a vested interest in pretending that the Democrats would get 60%+ of the vote in a two-man 2016 race, instead of about, oh, 48% or so.

Um, people stockpile on bread, eggs, and milk…

…because they’re perishables that run out quickly when you’re making simple, straightforward blizzard foods like French toast, or scrambled eggs, or omelets, or pancakes, or sandwiches for the kids, or what have you.  I mean, this isn’t really rocket science, contra the Atlantic. Lots of people have kids, and people with kids need to have an uninterrupted supply of the foods that kids eat. I mean, I may need to walk over to the convenience store myself at some point to pick up some more milk. Hopefully not, but it may happen.

Hey, that magic CGI bread Rey had in Star Wars?

It wasn’t CGI.

They totally CGI-ed that bread into existence, didn’t they? Wrong, says special effects supervisor Chris Corbould, who spoke with MTV News about what went into making that single moment.

“Surprisingly that was done practically, although so many people have said to me, ’we thought that was a digital effect!’” Corbould said.

Took ’em three months to get those few seconds of footage right, and of course you wouldn’t want to eat the stuff, but: they did that effect the old-fashioned way. That happened a lot in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is one reason why the movie is a monster.  And not the smallest reason why, either.

So far? The snow here has been… manageable.

It’s definitely snowing. The blizzard hasn’t hit here yet, though, and while it’s been coming down there haven’t been many issues yet, God willing and the creek doesn’t rise.  Which is actually sometimes a problem in my part of Maryland.  Why we built our nation’s capital in the middle of a freaking swamp…

So everything’s cool, folks.  Hopefully it’ll stay that way.
