There are, I suspect, chances of greater than zero that the lawyer believes the witness has it (and more) coming. For the audacity of accusing their client.

HIs engagement to Maples was, literally, the biggest tabloid story that year. If she’s dim enough to not know that, she’s dim enough for any damn thing.

Speaking of the judge, that’s Kimba Wood, Bill Clinton’s AG nominee, who got squashed for not paying Nanny Taxes. That is some sweet poetic justice.

Boy, I didn’t know my state sen was one of these IDC ratfinks. I voted for him on the D line. Gotta find out if somebody is primarying him.

I mean, right? All these people are just as crooked as can be. And everybody gets away with it. It just takes one teensy prosecutor squad actually looking at the details to sweep up all the inbred criminality.

Yeah? Tell that to Matt Lauer.

His dismissal of Loretta Lynch tips his hand that he’s a standard-issue misogynist, too.

Stahhhhhp! I can’t even breathe anymore, you’re killing me!

I did not know spatchcocking was something I could ask my butcher to do. I am nearly giddy with this new knowledge.

I used to try ‘medium-rare plus’, and got met with the empty stares of waitstaff whose point-of-sale screens had no other options beyond one level and the next. “I can’t put that in the system!” they’d wail. “Gosh, couldn’t you just, I dunno, use your words? Or is the kitchen on a strict lockdown?”

So does Curse of the Starving Class. I got an eyeful of young Brad Whitford’s peen back in the day.

I’m glad you’re on this story (again), Diana.

That’s okay! Get the libs in, and incumbency still carries re-electoral weight! Good is not the enemy of Perfect!

Recent history shows that weed on the ballot is a reliable GOTV issue. That is to say, people who are low-interest voters will get off their couches and go to the polls when they can vote for legal weed. (Same as increased minimum wages.) So, maybe it’s not the most important thing, but it moves butts to vote. And…

I’ve watched the first 40 minues of ep one, and I’m already raving about it to my teevee-inclined friends. Such good writing, such a good cast, such a good spin on a cat-and-mouse trope.

I don’t know him, but gosh, Mike Allen seems like maybe he’s not very smart?

Simple: Everybody knows that Nazis Are Bad. Anybody who has grown up in western pop cult since WW2 has this already ingrained into a cultural shorthand. Now, White Supremacists think that they themselves are good. (Spoiler: they are not) Ergo, ispo facto, whatever is on the other side of them are bad, and since Nazis…

Hannity is just mad that Rachel Maddow has taken the 9 pm cable crown from him. Like, so hard.

A friend of mine who used to do political organizing told me once that it was A Known Thing that in down-ballot races with little-or-no name recognition, women’s names were likelier to win than men’s names. The problem was always recruiting women to run! I’m very happy to see that not be the case this year.

So did L&O Criminal Intent, in 2007 (the Logan/Falacci year)
