Yesterday the news that Disney outmaneuvered and outwitted Ron DeSantis’s effort to remove the company’s quasi-governmental powers over Disney World as payback for their support of gay rights made my day, as they say. The interesting and hilarious fact that Mickey Mouse did it eight months ago, not hiding anything but rather acting in full compliance with Florida’s rigorous public-notice “Sunshine in Government law,” rather than what appeared in initial reports to be some last minute switcheroo when the defenders of FweeDumb in Tallahassee took their eye off the ball was icing on the cake.
I’m no fan of Disney but it’s safe to say that Disney has done more good for Florida and its people by accident than DeSantis has ever or will ever do on purpose. The Magic Kingdom will be around and minting money long after DeSantis becomes an occasional guest on OAN.
He may be the “occasional guest” sooner than you think. I still think he “peaked too soon” and shot himself in the foot. Meanwhile insurance down here is a mess.
Insurance is a Republican wet dream... rake in the dough, skim off the top, in homeowner’s, auto and health... oh, and not to mention “life” because, we’re all going to die, the question is when.
Disney literally has an army of lawyers and accountants to go through the volumes of rules and regulations to make sure that Mickey and Co. are in compliance with the laws of Florida or any other state they do business in. Meanwhile the doofuses in Tallahassee who purportedly make those rules and regulations are blissfully unaware that they were outmaneuvered…brilliant! And their Dear Leader is the biggest doofus of them all…also brilliant!
Any and all repubs of recent years don’t even pretend to govern with any efficiency; it’s just hate, revenge and payback. Oh, and greed. Usually they are better at graft than meatball is so far.
Loved this. Could never see what the press was hanging their hats on when they ballyhooed DeSanity's education and super brain. But, of course, some of the Florida staff attorneys will be looking for jobs defending bad drivers and drafting land deed amendments and will be called the ones who failed to take note of local laws.
No, actually he wasn't. He was a striver who got there being a smart kid. He makes a big deal nowadays of getting there and being "turned off" by what he found - people questioning religion, the government, etc. I believe him about that - he was a limited person who couldn't step past his limits, as he demonstrates every day. His "Peter Principle" point was the day he got into Harvard.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy your essays. This right here is another one having me giggling with glee all the way through! Thank you! My hope springs eternal self can always use a boost of
What a hoot to read! Thanks...... We are really getting to see the superb GOP minds at work in FL and the House of Reps. Clown Car insults real clowns, who are pretty smart at what they do!
TC, this is the Best. Headline. Ever! Thanks for the chuckle... sent to my sister in law, who moved out of Florida 3 years ago after living there for 30+ years...,said it was getting way too strange.
I love this! DeSatan outsmarted right under his nose. Everything Disney did was above board, out in the open with public announcements and completely missed by Ronny white boots. The rule of perpetuity, or better known now as Lilibet’s Rule.
“Pantsed by a mouse” for some reason made me think of Winnie the Pooh, with only his little red shirt on…but I adore that character too much to compare “ DeShatis” to him. Another fabulous read, TC!
this little video has absolutely nothing to do with anything we talk about here (unless we're into dogs and cats) and certainly nothing to do with the present moment in history, but it felt like a good idea to post it anyway...
I love it! That sneaky kitty looks just like my Delilah. My little darling has been known to take on my son’s dog, a big gorgeous yellow lab, when he gets too close to her water bowl. It doesn’t stop him, of course, but she’s sent him off yelping more than once. 😂❤️
After losing my 13 year old, Juliette, I finally adopted another - shes 3 or 4! We had kind of a rocky start - fever of 104 & 2 days & nights at the vet, but shes doing well now - still a little spastic but good. She & Axel - dog - are tolerating each other.

I also believe he “peaked too soon” .But…he’s still in the game so we can’t take our eye off the (meat)ball. Credit: TFG for Meatball Ron😜

TC knows how to turn a phrase!
He certainly does!

Must have been legacy at Harvard

I personally love "the king's descendants rule." Been used in this country for 300 years. And those dumbasses didn't see it.
And here they are on the doorstep of the Magic Kingdom. They really are dumbasses.
Love this: "now as Lilibet’s Rule." Perfect!

OK, that is priceless! Pantsed by a mouse in public.
Now I get it! 🐭 I just haven’t had the patience to read through all the mishegaas, so thanks for ‘splainin’!

I definitely got my quota of great humor for a week with this one!
My collection, TC is getting thick.
Keep 'em coming. Pantsed by a
mouse. Perfect. 😁

it's definitely very, very funny.

That's very funny!

Love it, did see a smack down between my cat and a dog years ago. Wish I had a video, dog ran for his life.
Great idea! My son sends me these little hummers all the time! Mainly cats (he has FOUR)! I only have one right now.
I hear you, Maggie. For the first time in a good 30 years, I am a one cat household. Delilah will be my ride or die until her time comes. ❤️🙏

Thanks for the hearty laugh I just experienced David. That was so great!
Love it David!
