Comey’s last-minute timing of his announcements about the Clinton emails, while hiding real evidence of crimes by the Trump cartel, certainly played a role in tipping the election. In addition to voter suppression tactics including but far from limited to gerrymandering, I believe there was some electronic vote…

Yes, that’s what struck me too. The top face is a distraction, goofy and even harmless-looking, but the real, gut-face has its eyes wide open and ready to destroy everything good.

Yes, that “grinning” got me too. This is what he cares about, junk food handed to him without his effort and ass-kissing government representatives. Absolutely nauseating. Jabba does work as a model — greedy, vicious, always relishing backstabbing his toadies and laughing at their suffering.

A government employee, a congressional staffer, was required to sort the candies for this disgusting ass-kissing stunt. From the Post article:

Frames that large would work best for relatively small correction factors. For nearsighted people, even high-refractive index plastic lenses that corrected over that whole area could be too heavy to wear. For them, the lenses get progressively thicker closer to the rims. Or maybe they’re just for show and are…

It was a pretty random group of dispirited Saints that came back onto the field for the PAT, apparently. Their injured kicker was part of the line for the kick.

Clarified butter — ghee — is much more stable at room temp than whole butter, which still contains some water, proteins and whatnot. Does not taste identical to whole butter but still very tasty for sauteeing, and there is also much less smoking.

Another point I wanted to add after editing closed:

I’ve wondered about this too. I think it is a way for ordinary people minimize their own troubles by being able to say, “I’m better off than that guy!” Plus, the vicarious drama distracts them from the drudgery and boredom of their own lives. Hence soap operas, danger-filled adventure shows, violent video games,…

I don’t see how Ryan Murphy could actually believe what he is saying about the Versace family’s approval of his schlock-shock exploitation project. Its approval by the network suits shows the low opinion they have of their audience, as if we needed more evidence of that.

What makes it manipulative and creepy is that she knew he would read it. In fact, good chance that he was the primary intended recipient of that tweet.

Yet another goof tonight — I posted the same link twice. This is the second link I intended re Murdoch’s imposed publishing agenda: https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-secret-behind-rupert-murdochs-attacks-on-robert-mueller

Sorry, yes. I conflated the NYT ownership with the Wall Street Journal, which, like the New York Post, is owned by Murdoch and is used to push his agendas (https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/murdochs-wall-street-journal-pulled-editorial-detailing-trumps-mob-ties-report/, https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/murdochs-wall-s…

The standards of New York Times op-eds have decayed since Murdoch took over the paper. This garbage piece is a collection of right wing GOP talking points. It misleads by design.

I left a long time ago, and since my family moved to Austin shortly after that, I haven’t visited Odessa for a very long time. I am shocked to hear that Midland and Odessa are joined on I-20! When I was there, that 20 miles between the towns was open, flat, silent road. I recall one time back then when my family…

InCulto’s signature pink and yellow (?) plaid pants should have qualified them for the final even without the great Welcome to Lithuania song. I hope the Balls enjoyed their welcome.

It was Odessa, Permian High School, which I think became MOJO. I recall our team playing the Midland Bulldogs, they were tough!

Born and grew up in Ft Worth, high school in the west Texas desert. Then away, never came back except for visits. I still love it, though. When I hear that warm, quirky Texas accent, it’s like a comforting blanket on a cold day. I love the Northeast, too, in a different way. And some other regions.

I am very sorry for all those hurt by that horrible flooding event. For them and you, the name Harvey will always be a painful trigger, and no wonder. I am a native Texan myself and still very fond of the people there. I hope your friends are recovering well.

This is a good Harvey. We’ve been watching him long enough for his hair, what there is of it, to turn gray and for us to be convinced that he is the most accurate weather forecaster in Southern New England. He never grandstands or exaggerates, just gives the important facts clearly. Though he does seem to pick up…
