The syringe is loaded.

Someone ate a stick of butter.  It wasn't me.  The empty butter dish was found lying on the kitchen floor... licked clean.  I checked both dogs for butter breath... no luck, only the lingering scent of Gravy Bones biscuits.  Unsolvable?  Most likely.  Neither is about to point the paw at the guilty party.  Good thing I have 2 other sticks in the fridge, otherwise I'd be in a butter free zone.
I did sleep late this morning.  I turned off the 0500 alarm as it started buzzing on the dresser.  There was no need to get up for work.  Sleeping in is good, I told myself.  I'm still in the recovery stage.  A bit about sore throats, bacterial vs viral.  Let's use Strep throat as an example.  With Strep, you are contagious for quite some time after symptoms show up which is why you want to have it treated with antibiotics as soon as possible.  Strep is considered a very contagious bacterial infection.  A viral infection, like what I had, is usually only contagious during the incubation period, they are sneaky that way.  The average person will recover from both Strep throat and a viral sore throat on their own, Strep taking usually 3-5 days.  Within 24 hours after taking an antibiotic the contagion level of a person with Strep drops drastically, to almost zero which is why it needs to be medicated as soon as possible.  The co-worker who shows up with Strep is a volcano of infection, where as someone like me?  I was just a nuisance because of my whining and complaining...
In 4 days the Democrats take control of the House.  From what I've been reading, the Idiot Jerk is totally unprepared.  What's so surprising about that?  Not much.  He's always been more of a wanna be pseudo-business man then anything else.  He points fingers and blames, cites statistics no one can verify.  Democrats are responsible for 2 children dying because they didn't give him what he wants, a wall.  He is a fat, ugly man with the maturity level of a twelve year old.  He epitomizes the Republican thought process using his Twitter account to supplicate his base.  The Idiot Jerk doesn't understand that Pelosi is going to say "we are not going to give you what you want just to satisfy the 31% of Americans who kiss you ass."  Well, she may not exactly use those words.  However, that is what he's doing, giving a minority group of racists what they want.  The fact that those swing states which helped him get is electoral victory have swung back to favoring Democrats is beyond his comprehension.  He is a lot like a bacterial infection, contagious until the antibiotic hits.  His brain is way to self-centered to even consider what's going to happen in 4 days.  Prepare yourselves.  Nancy Pelosi is going to be a double shot of penicillin in his ass and his disease will start exploding out of every single orifice.  It will be ugly.
