Screw My-Pillow, let's talk about something really important that very few of you know a damned thing about. Let's talk about something genuinely, non-trivially relevant right now. Something that most of you almost certainly don't have clue one about. Let's talk about blankets.

Now I'm generally a lazyass and just wash all my bedclothes and put them right back on rather than rotating different combinations in and out. The past couple years I've had a comforter on top of a quilt and slept on top of another quilt. Fuck sheets. I'm not buying into Big Sheet's lies anymore.

But one of the days last week coincided with me feeling like my balls were going to freeze off even inside the house. Not sick, just hadn't been moving around enough to get my circulation in Drive that morning. So I did what any resourceful vet would, I threw my wool army blanket on the bottom of the stack and prepared for a nap.

Now what happened next should have been old hat to me but the last time I slept directly under a wool blanket was in boot camp. See, if you make your bunk with one blanket and stick the one you were supposed to make a pillow cover out of underneath the mattress, all you have to do in the morning is tighten everything back up and shove the blanket you slept under back under the bunk. But non-critical learning in boot camp ain't as automagical as it is in normal life on account of you being utterly exhausted both mentally and physically the entire time. So what happened came as a complete surprise to me.

Here's what happened: I got in my bed for a nap after putting the army blanket between the two quilts, slithered under it, and it was already warm. That's right, the instant I climbed underneath it, it wasn't even the slightest bit chilly like sheets and most anything else made of cotton or synthetics is. Nor did it ever reach overly warm like quilts and comforters can become after a while.

Apparently those are traits pretty much universally shared by all wool blankets and I just never noticed it. I may not have noticed regardless though since I went to boot camp in SC during the hottest, muggiest part of summer. SC does muggy really well.

So, yeah, find yourself a wool blanket and tell at least your non-fitted sheet to fuck right off. You have no idea the comfort it will bestow upon you unless you've experienced it. If you're an ass-pansy who currently sleeps under Pi-to-the-64th thread-count sheets, find a soft one; not all wool blankets can serve double duty as exfoliation devices.

So we all know that HUD has declared that you can't evict anyone for the foreseeable future on account of the whole coronaids thing, yeah? Given that, here's the pitch: The Odd Couple 2. Trump invokes that to stay in the White House and calls in film crews to the residential bits, which he can do as a resident. Be honest with yourself, you'd watch it.

It's a funny old world where the guy who uses the words "peaceful and patriotic" multiple times during his address is Inciting to Riot but the BLM guy in the capitol-raiding mob who says "Let's burn this motherfucker down" is regarded with "He was vocal, but I wouldn’t say he was inciting violence".

And just you try and find information in the MSM, or even on this very site, about how said BLM guy says he knew about the plan to storm the capitol way in advance. You'll have your work cut out for you because that would mean Trump was completely innocent on the impeachment charges, since you cannot incite something long after it's been planned, organized, and is getting ready to be carried out.

For those of you who figure us indian types sit around bemoaning our terrible fate every November, I offer you a message from Bill Annoatubby, Governor of the Chickasaw Nation (Since 1987. We dig him that much.). Yup, we get our family and too much food on and spend our day off appreciating what we have to be thankful for too. If you're being a contrarian asshat, you're not just doing it alone, you're doing it in direct opposition to the folks you think you're supporting.

Pin your reports of angry Republicans killing, stealing, and destroying en masse over the election here. I'll expect a list at least as bad as the one of Dems from 2016.

Turns out the "Proud Boys" intimidation emails came from a mail server in Estonia and appear to be of Russian and Iranian origin. Oops. Guess you'll have to switch to the "muh Russians" narrative instead of "muh racists".
