It’s the start of a three-day weekend and the unofficial beginning of summer, so here’s something lighter than usual from the Department of Supreme Irony to get you started. Andrew Wolfson at the Louisville Courier Journal reports: The owner of the life-size replica of Noah’s Ark in Northern Kentucky has sued its insurers for refusing to cover, of all things … rain damage. Ark Encounter, which unveiled the 510-foot-long model in 2016, says that heavy rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road, and its five insurance carriers refused to cover nearly $1 million in damages. In a 77-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Ark Encounter asks for compensatory and punitive damages. [...] … to Ark Encounter’s lawyer, Amanda Brooke Stubblefield, at the Cincinnati firm Keating, Muething & Klekamp, the suit is no laughing matter. «We are not going to comment to the press on this case,» she said.

It is frequently a poor arrangement for doctors as well, but that does not mitigate how little the system accounts for the patient's best interest. Just when you are at your weakest and least able to make all the phone calls, traverse the maze of insurance, and plead for health-care referrals is that one time when you have to your life may depend on it.” ~~Ross Donaldson, The Lassa Ward: One Man's Fight Against One of the World's Deadliest Diseases (2009) TWEET OF THE DAY xJohn Bonham has come back as an 8 year old girl, I can't begin to describe how amazing this child is!! https://t.co/cZl8i560FW #LedZeppelin pic.twitter.com/HoyDdzCA3L— Daniel Holland (@DannyDutch) May 19, 2019 BLAST FROM THE PAST On this date at Daily Kos in 2004—Goopers can’t handle the burden: We already knew this, but it's nice to get confirmation anyway. «It's extremely difficult to govern when you control all three branches of government,» says Hastert spokesman John Feehery... Given that 60+ percent think the country is going in the wrong direction, and that every decision made the last four years has been made by Republicans, we know that they can't handle the task. So it's time to give Democrats a shot. Incidentally, what Feedery is really trying to say is that it's tough to place blame on Democrats for the Republicans' shortcomings when they control all three branches of government. On today’s Kagro in the Morning show: It's Friday and Dotard J. Trump is a danger to America. Barr gets to run the Kushner/MBS play, this time with the President himself (meaning Putin).
