American balkanization is going to be messy but necessary, and in the end, a good thing for the planet and its inhabitants. In the meantime, I’m considering changing my display name to “Grover Cleveland Steamer”. Or perhaps “Francisco Bizarro”.

Viz:
3 panel cartoon. First panel are 3 hands each clutching a glowing, looped rope.  They have agreed to reveal their real identities to each other.

Second panel, Wonder Woman says “Diana of Themyscira, daughter of Queen Hippolyta”.

Third shows Superman and Batman.  Superman, smiling, says “Clark Kent. Kal-el”.
Batman says “Batman”.

Not sure why, but this looks like somebody’s kink.

You know that car crash guy who was making the rounds a few years ago? Sure you do, hold on …
Horrible looking guy with huge neck, massive ribcage, and charmingly squashed face, sitting on what seems to be a plywood chair, apparently waiting for the next car crash test.

Why’s the pump not working?
The pump switch at my well.  This closes when the pressure drops, turning the pump on.

A small lizard has a claw stuck between the 2 contacts.  Pumps not running because the lizard’s fingernail is trapped there. I have no idea why the lizard is not an electrocuted piece of charcoal.

But he’s fine. He ran off as soon as I turned the power off.
