Top March blogging — it was COVID heavy

I'm pleased and pleasantly surprised that my weekly coronavirus roundups are getting read.

More than one of them was in the top 10 for the month.

But, COVID nuttery topped the list.

Namely, the arrest of "Galveston Karen" Terry White  — who later, as I noted in an addendum to the post — was arrested again at a Home Depot in another city.

No. 8 was in somewhat the same vein, as I blogged — with photos — about the number of Karens who ignored a Denton Kroger's mask rule the first weekend after Strangeabbott lifted the statewide mask mandate. For good measure, I added in Kroger's PR bullshit response after I DM'ed it on Twitter.

No. 2? COVID roundup Week 48, which tackled the FDA tackling Mercola, HEB being PR weaselly and more. No. 4 was Week 49, which included the one-year anniversary of Rudy Gobert and the NBA shutdown making the virus Public Enemy No. 1. No. 5 was Week 50, discussing herd immunity and related issues.

No. 3 was about the Texas Lege and its kabuki theater after Winter Storm Uri and the "Abbott Blackout." No. 9 was the Texas Progressives roundup three weeks later, which included some follow-up blogging by me on that, and was the general theme of the roundup — more kabuki theater.

Are we woke or real on Status Quo Joe? That was the rest of March's top blogging. To go with earliest first, I talked about Jeff Greenfield, Jamelle Bouie, Ryan Cooper and others being "woke" about how allegedly transformational Biden's stimulus bill was. That included telling them they knew better, or should. In response, at No. 6, a week later I had my own, and others', observations about the realism of what Biden did and did not get passed, as well as the realism of what this boded for the future. Finally, at No. 10, I talked about some of the woke folk greenwashing Biden.
