Comrades. The Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Гла́вное управле́ние Генера́льного шта́ба Вооружённых Сил Росси́йской Федера́ции) have taken control of your so called “elections” in the name of our glorious Fatherland- Rodina.

Waffle House Rules!
You know, Joe Micklewhite (or Junior as we like to call him) is in every movie ever. No wonder he got on the Queen’s List. Regular readers recognize I’m a sucker for scattered smothered, chunked, covered, capped, and Country (please, no peppered- I’m terribly allergic) with an egg over on top. Moscow Mitch is not …

A Thin Hand
In addition to a lot of unbelievable things about me I know many games and am fairly decent at most of them (Golf? I don’t take that seriously at all.). Among them is Canasta, a card game so complicated it requires at least 2 decks. First of all, now you know what the second deck …

Throwball Playoff Division Championship Day 2 Evening: Seahawks @ Packers
The Green Bay Packers are 100 years old this season and are called “The Last Small Town Team”. I’ve been in Green Bay, it’s not big. Alone among Major League Franchises in any sport, the Packers are not owned by an individual or a syndicate, but instead by a public corporation which, if not a …

Throwball Playoff Division Championship Day 2 Afternoon: Texans @ Chiefs
The 12 – 4 Chiefs have truly obnoxious fans who have been long denied (except recently) which makes it worse if possible. Still the Chiefs organization is so hapless it’s difficult to get a real head of hate on. They did lose to the 10 – 6 Texans back in Week 6 but as with …

Throwball Playoff Division Championship Day 1 Evening: Titans @ Ravens
I’m rooting for the 9 – 7 Titans just because they beat the despised Patsies but there’s really not much hope against the 14 – 2 Ravens. Both teams play the same game, the Titans will run, run, run and try to make the big pass, the Ravens will do the same. The record and …

Throwball Playoff Division Championship Day 1 Afternoon: Psychs @ 9ers
The 10 – 6 Psychs had their best game of the post-season last week and now get to face the 13 – 3 9ers. I’m not sorry to see the Psychs go. They beat a moderate favorite team of mine in the Aints and I’m sure a lot of people are going to miss Drew …

Probably going to see Rise of the Skywalkers today (I dunno, that’s the plan but I could get hit by a Bus). Anyhow, content will likely suck bordering on non-existent. Enjoy this episode of Worzel Gummidge: The Green Man which is notable mostly for being British, but also includes a featured role by Michael Palin …

Corrupt all the way down.
In The New Republic Alex Pareene makes the same argument I frequently do, which is focusing merely on the Criminal aspects of the Unindicted Co-Conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio’s RICO Gang misses the larger Criminality and Corruption of the Republican Party RICO Gang. “I don’t know anything about ‘Five Families’ and ‘Our Thing’ but those Gambinos are …

We should be more outraged.
“Seth takes a closer look at the House voting to rein in President Trump’s war powers as it becomes increasingly clear his administration lied to justify an unconstitutional act of war.” I’ll also point out Justice Robert H. Jackson at Nuremberg thought Aggressive Warfare the root of all War Crimes, particularly those of the Nazis. …
