The Latest Rethug Attempt To Label Rather Than Legislate. Prepare to hear ‘Lefty social engineering’ redound through their media echo chamber: That echoed a message sketched out immediately after Biden’s speech by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who gave the nationally televised GOP response and accused Democrats of wanting “to put Washington even more in the […]

Dang, I’ve got one of those spring/summer colds. I’ve decided that the ‘cure’ of Mucinex is worse than the ‘disease’. It’s the rare drugged-out feeling that I don’t like…hopefully it will heighten my sense of the absurd as I scour the interwebs for stuff for us to talk about. FBI Had Warned Giuliani And Sen. […]

Holy Bleep!! Former State Rep. Rebecca Walker Indicted For Falsifying Employment Records
You remember Rebecca Walker. She got herself a golden parachute job created just for her in the Office Of Forensic Science, formerly the Medical Examiner’s Office. Conveniently, the newly-created office ended up under the supervision of, wait for it, the police, essentially guaranteeing that incriminating evidence against cops would never see the light of day.
