UPDATE: Eight arrested at anti-lockdown protest in Denmark. “Organised by a group calling itself ‘Men in Black’, the rally of around 1,200 people in the Danish capital was the first since the government announced last week that it was extending many anti-coronavirus restrictions. Police said the rally remained largely peaceful, but eight people were arrested for allegedly using fireworks and for rowdy behaviour.”

LOSIN’ IT: Biden’s Latest Verbal Slip Might Be His Most Disturbing Yet.

TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! “Dr. Jill” to the rescue – bails out Joe during Univision interview in Houston. “Rep. Lizzie Pannill Fletcher, who happens to be my district’s congresswoman, goes by Fletcher, not Pannill, so Biden botched her name even more than Sheila Jackson-Lee’s. He can’t blame cold temperatures for his brain freeze, as the temperatures are well back into the 70s now. Biden seems incapable of delivering the most basic of remarks. Is this why his wife travels with him? Is she tasked with articulating Biden’s message? It sure looks that way.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE. “Biden is not so much presiding over Obama’s third term as he is the doddering passenger riding in first class while Obama’s faithful pilots navigate. Democrats did not yearn for a President Biden; they yearned to beat President Trump and restore the status quo ante. Biden’s job is to give his people what they want: Obama policy and practice.” Which is why: Merrick Garland Heralds Return of the Obama Justice Department — Radical as Ever.

THE EXCITING LIVES OF L.A. TIMES COLUMNISTS: My wife is vaccinated. I’m not. Welcome to the new world of haves and have-nots.

In my house, we have a problem. My wife has been vaccinated; I haven’t.

Am I envious? Of course I am. Resentful? Yeah, some of that too. When she came home all cheerful after her second COVID-19 vaccine shot last week, I couldn’t help feel that she had crossed safely to the other side of a giant chasm, while I remained at the edge of the cliff.

Later, when she complained of a headache and some chills from the second shot, I was, perhaps, a tad less sympathetic than I could have been.

For a year we’ve been housebound together. But suddenly she was eligible for her shots and I was not. And now (or presumably very soon), she’ll be able to traipse off to a restaurant or a rave or an orgy or a national insurrection, while I’ll still be cowering at home hiding from the virus.

And in what may be the biggest return to normality for the lucky people who’ve had their shots, the L.A. Times quoted medical experts Thursday saying that they can now “enjoy a sex life with other vaccinated people” outside their bubble.

I had no idea that L.A. Times columnists were such hard-partying types.
