The point is the origin story has been told so many times in so many contradictory ways that is hard to tell who the Dark Knight’s nemesis really is. I suspect the Clown Primce of Crime appreciates that. Probably thinks it’s a hoot. High in the Middle and Round at Both Ends Lebensborn

Latin Distraction
It appears that one of the main lines of Republican defense of Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio is endless parroting of “No Quid Pro Quo” which I find annoying because “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” and of course whether there is or isn’t any “Quid …

Bill Taylor’s Story
Uh, what’s wacky about this is that nobody else is committing (at this moment) in detail this specific what his testimony was today, likely because it’s embargoed. So I’m not going to vouch for it’s entire accuracy, but since not much of it is new in the sense of stuff we didn’t already know I’ll …

The Internet Is Evil!

Temporarily at North Lake to take the pulse (WMUR surprisingly empty of ads Sunday 11 pm, full tilt otherwise. Add Klobuchar and Sestak to Steyer and Gabbard in terms of spenders, the front runners are all personal appearances) where I had a big blow and power problems Friday. Took the weekend to tune the configuration …

“What A Dump!”
Despite my parochiality I’ve been in some pretty impressive public spaces including a few fairly high rent hotels (I hate Atrium lobbies the most) including the Ritz-Charlton in Naples which I’ll admit deserves it’s reputation and The Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island (ok, it’s charming if you like a slice of Victoriana and they wait …

Guns or Butter?
Like Quantum Mechanics (or indeed General Relativity), Modern Monetary Theory is a problem for some people because it’s not intuitive and apparently contradicts in some respects lived experience. We know apples don’t fall up for example but that’s simply an accident of failing to observe what is an extremely rare phenomena. The math that predicts …

Boris Blinks
As it turns out Johnson is going to follow the Benn Act and ask for an extension. The EU may moan and groan about it (I would, the Brits are being total arseholes) but the terms of Article 50 are pretty clear and they’re only at the stage where the computer asks, “Are you really, …

Jonathan Chiat being not entirely useless.
I know. I’m just as shocked as you are. Basically he summarizes 7 Articles and 82 Counts of Impeachable conduct by Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio- I. Abusing Power for Political Gain Explanation: The single most dangerous threat to any democratic system is that the ruling party will use its governing powers to entrench itself illegitimately. …

Let’s chat about the weather.
Lovely day… for ducks. Or, as they say in Maine for any weather short of a Hurricane or Nor’Easter, a bit damp. Hurricanes and Nor’Easters? Breezy.
