Throwball Conference Championships: Patsies at Chiefs
Have I mentioned recently that I hate the Patsies with the white hot intensity of a thousand Suns? Well, at least not since last week, I’ve been distracted. This is of course because Robert Kraft dicked over Hartford so he could extort a better Stadium in Foxboro, but also because Bill Belichick and Tom Brady …

Throwball Conference Championships: Scams at Aints
Time to get your hate on. We are now at that part of the post-Season where the contestants start to match the “official” title hype. There is no doubt that the two teams that emerge from the Conference Championships will advance to the Super Bowl (LIII I think) and represent the NFC and the AFC. …

House
More Long Format Retro Weekend. I won’t pretend the Smothers Brothers was a formative experience because I was already 60ish when TV rolled around (still miss The Shadow– “The weed of Crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay. The Shadow knows.”), but I thought they were funny and rarely missed an episode. They kind …

DNA Discounts
AeroMexico is offering DNA Discounts on tickets to Mexico which is a fascinating and beautiful place I would gladly visit if it weren’t so damn hot most of the year (which is not to say I’m looking forward to the 16 Degree Cold Snap predicted for Monday in Stars Hollow). As an acolyte of Clio …

Slam Dunk
WaPo paraphrased- Senator Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.): If Unidicted Co-Conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio tried to coach somebody not to testify, or testify falsely, would that be a crime? Attorney General Nominee William P. Barr: Yes. Slam Dunk. Of course it has been since the Lester Holt interview after Comey’s firing where he said this– Regardless of …

Now THAT’S Some Fancy Trolling
The New York Times– Dear Mr. President: On January 3rd, it was my privilege as Speaker to invite you to deliver the State of the Union address on January 29th. The Constitution calls for the President to “from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union.” During the 19th …

No Collusion! No Collusion!
Oops. Well, “hacking the DNC” (Theft) is not the only crime here. Campaign Finance Violations, Treason and Espionage, Tax Fraud, Bank Fraud, Plain Old Fraud, Money Laundering, Lying Under Oath, Perjury, Suborning Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, and Abuse of Power to name only a few. The correct word is “Conspiracy” and damn right it’s a …

Deliverables
Some of the gaslighting Republicans try to do in relation to Unidicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio’s Russian Treason Plot is to deny that there is any Quid Pro Quo, This For That. Like pushing “Collusion”, which is not a crime, as a substitute for “Conspiracy”, which is, they’ll claim that Russian aid during the 2016 Election …
