Opening my Monday morning emails. (Note: this one also reminds me of Keir Starmer the day after the recent Labour Party massacre in local elections).
The reveal.
The absurd Keir Starmer apparently is resisting pressure to resign, even though his party ran off the rails and crashed in the gorge, and he is probably the most reviled man in the UK: "Unions and Labour MPs Demand PM Starmer Resign Over Party’s Worst Election Defeats in History".

...they'll start making better choices: "Pritzker Lied Defending the SAFE-T Act, Now a Chicago Police Officer Is Dead".
Probably not (there, I beat you to it!)
In this post from earlier today, I reflected upon two premium plug-uglies in the House of Representatives - former congressman Henry Waxman and soon-to-be-former congressman Steve Cohen - wondering who would replace them as the most physiognomically challenged specimens in the House of Representatives. Friend and commenter Veeshir reminded me, however, that the truly most hideous one of them all is Rosa De Lauro, the congressional gargoyle from Connecticut.
She is married, incidentally. I believe this may be an old photo of her husband.
Now, it may not be nice to make fun of people's looks, and God knows I'm no Cary Grant, but these folks are rabid, partisan leftists who want to destroy the America we know and love. So, all's fair in love and war.
Does this opera and ballet theater in Russia remind you of anything? Say, the new library of a former half-black U.S. president?
Looks like the donks have been redistricted out of their last stronghold in Tennessee (centered in Memphis), which means that the ultra-obnoxious Steve Cohen will be returning to the lowing herd. Plus, he's likely to be replaced by a black, female Republican: "Ironic: Tennessee’s New 'Racist' 9th District Will Likely Have Black Woman Replace a 76-Year-Old White Democrat".
Here's my question. Steve Cohen became the physically ugliest member of congress upon the retirement of Henry ("Bat Boy") Waxman. Who will succeed Cohen in the looks department?
Henry Waxman
