Idiot follies:  A bunch of bought-and-paid-for "protesters," many of whom with face masks, and too many of them armed, "stormed" the Michigan capital today whining they can't go out camping and all that other he-man shit because of the lockdown.

Dozens of protesters gathered outside the House chamber and demanded to be allowed in. As Michigan State Police troopers stood in a line outside the chamber, the protesters chanted, "Let us in."

These nitwits should have been arrested.

My sentiments exactly:

WHAT THE FUCK!!! NOT WHAT WE DO IN AMERICA!

“Multiple armed gunmen storm Michigan’s State House, State police are protecting @GovWhitmer & blocking the gunmen from gaining access to the house floor.

NO MORE BULLSHIT ABOUT PROTECTING 2A. ARREST THEM!pic.twitter.com/UhygGJyh6z

Chris Hayes should lose his job peddling the Berniebro nonsense about Tara Reade. She isn't credible at all.

A better story is here regarding the backlash against this Sanders doofus.

Secretariat has more roads named after him than any other athlete by far.

CA, TX, FL, and of course KY have the most streets named after him.  There are 263 roads named after him in the U.S.

Road experts say there is little rhyme or reason to the way our streets get their names. It's mostly just real estate developers who submit names to their town, there's usually a relatively easy approval process, and voilà. Case in point: Somebody in Butte, Alaska, sure likes horse racing. You can take Sea Biscuit Lane to E. Man o' War Drive, then hang a right onto E. Secretariat Drive -- the most northerly road named for Secretariat. And if you wanted to ride Secretariat the 3,920 miles back to his burial site? At the record 37.8 mph he ran the Belmont in, he'd have gotten you there in a little over four days.
