From Karoli: Good Sunday morning to all! It's stopped raining here in wet, soggy California and will be dry for at least a few days before another storm is expected. Speaking for me, it's really good to see our lake full here at the homestead and know that local reservoirs are full too, though there are others in the state that still need more water. The coastal area is a mess, but it'll get cleaned up and back on track again.

Here is your Sunday morning cartoon, in lieu of the Sunday Morning Republican Gabfest. We'll watch so you don't have to, and post the juicy clips.

Get a nice cup of whatever you like in the morning and settle in. Bask in the knowledge that Qevin McQarthy has sold his soul to the devil for the low price of a Speaker's gavel. Enjoy the mayhem, if you can, but never forget that looming debt ceiling off in the near distance.
