Other people found it devastatingly compelling, I didn’t feel it advanced the plotline much (doesn’t mean I don’t also think he’s as guilty as hell on this specific thing or on conspiring …

Still think it didn’t happen?
Look I’ll flat out say that I don’t respect Fareed Zakaria any more than I do most “Objective” Journalists, which is to say- “Not at all.” He isn’t objective, instead he’s promoting the same kind of Beltway Both-siderism they all do because they’re a bunch of selfish geedheads who either deludedly think they actually are …

Impeachment Day 1: First Responses
(just a note: The original title was “First Responders”. After today’s events at Santa Clarita I decided to change it.)

If they feel outnumbered it’s for a reason.

Dumb da Dumb Dumb
You know the problem with being old? People don’t get your jokes anymore because they lack the cultural references you think are so relevant and act like you’re senile, treating you as a bubble wrapped fall risk. Dragnet gosh durn it.
