Oh yeah. This sooo works. The Jungle – Upton Sinclair “Bubbly Creek” is an arm of the Chicago River, and forms the southern boundary of the yards: all the drainage of the square mile of packing houses empties into it, so that it is really a great open sewer a hundred or two feet wide. …

The United States Tortures Prisoners
Not new “News” and certainly front and center since Gina Haspel, who has been proven to have run a CIA Torture Site in Thailand, still managed to get approved as DCI. Wait ek, isn’t she a “good guy” for standing up to Unidicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio? Well, that’s a little like saying a Serial Killer …

A Chink In The Wall
If nothing else, the Mueller Team has been notoriously tight lipped, speaking only through indictments and warrants. It was a great surprise to me and I’m sure many others that it ended so suddenly and inconclusively. Or maybe not. What we hear now from “sources close to the investigation” is that A.G. Barr has seriously …

Co-conspirator Deutsche Bank
Umm… the Mueller stuff is not going away. It is true beyond a reasonable doubt that Unidicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio has been laundering money for years and years. It’s also true there’s a convictable Quid Pro Quo in the Moscow Tower deal but we’re going to highlight instead Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio’s Bank of last …

Brexit Extension
The Brexit situation is very confusing and one reason I don’t burden you with the daily details is that it is still quite fluid. In recent developments there have been a series of non-binding votes on competing Brexit Plans, the most successful of which proposed a Customs Union/Single Market solution. True Brexiteers are appalled because …

Democrats Are Hypocrites And Idiots
There’s really no other way to characterize the Slow Walking that is coming from Pelosi, Hoyer, and other Institutional Democrats like Richard Neal. Democrats drag their feet on Trump’s tax returns — at exactly the wrong time By Greg Sargent, Washington Post April 1, 2019 Democrats should, if anything, be intensifying their effort to access …

That’s Entertainment
I kind of lost touch with Professional Wrestling about the time Terry Bollea started doing “C” Action Movies (he’s really awful, worse even than Rod Toombs), but there was a time when I was into it. It’s a big deal in Stamford where you can drive down I 95 (to the musical accompaniment of Welcome …

Broken Clock
Broken Clocks are useful for lots of things. They’re right about the time twice a day. You can use one and a clock that works to tell how high up you are. Some are reasonable paperweights. You can throw them at things that piss you off. I’m sure there are others but I’m not feeling …

Modern Monetary Theory in 500 Words Or Less
As a writer I’m constantly plagued by the sneaking suspicion the nobody reads my stuff, perhaps because I’m too prolix and verbose (prolix suggests unreasonable and tedious dwelling on details, verbose implies dullness and obscurity). If it’s a complicated subject which I know in depth it’s hard to restrain myself from a 2500+ word tome …
