Is anyone going to start a betting pool on how long before Melania leaves him?

Appropriate for a Bond girl, Tanya Roberts was mistakenly reported dead ... this was corrected ... and then she died for real. https://www.thecut.com/2021/01/tanya-roberts-dies-day-after-premature-death-announcement.html https://www.nydailynews.com/snyde/ny-tanya-roberts-dead-65-that-70s-show-bond-2...

I'll be damned ...
Now, a day later, Tanya Roberts reportedly alive:

It seems to me that, if ballots for Biden are suspect, then the whole ballot should be invalidated. I say this because lots of ballots are marked Biden for President but also vote for some Republican for House and/or Senate. Invalidating the whole ballot means that Republican Representative or Senat...

I have found Biblical support for wearing a mask --


Psalm 39:1 "... I will put a muzzle on my mouth ...." (NIV)

No matter how outlandish and flimsy - and quickly dismissed - all these election lawsuits are, there will remain a hardcore of TrumpChumps who will continue to believe that the election was somehow rigged and that Biden is not the legitimate president. This hardcore will show up in the midterm elect...

regarding RENO v. CONDON, cited two messages above, this case did not decide that "driving" must be commercial or anything like it. The case dealt with State goverments trying to sell the personal information from the drivers' license registry to commercial data mininng companies and simil...

Stone's commutation may be constitutional but it has its curiosities. In Stone's case, Trump nullified Stone's prison sentence AND the very substantial fines that were part of the sentence. In previous commutations, such as Scooter Libby under George W. Bush, only the prison sentence or whatever rem...

Confinement is confinement. Probably Florida will credit the time spent in the Hawaii jail as if it were spent serving the Florida sentence.

As was pointed out, ATW is probably going to spend the rest of his life in one or another prison, so the totals are probably irrelevant.

A real possibility is that schools open - but parents refuse to send their kids.

All those Trumpers bleating for school reopening --- are they sending their kids to school ?? Is Baron Trump going to a reopened school?

"GOAL: OCCUPY ATLANTA"

WTF? Even Sherman's army couldn't occupy Atlanta. By my calculation every SUV east of the Mississippi would have to be involved, and loaded with would-be occupation troops to even come close to this goal. Not thousands but more than a million would be needed.

It turns out very few cities are hoping to host the RNC. Especially during a contagion, especially on short notice, especially because there is no competition for the nomination (that boosts the number of attendees and hangers-on, and the local advertising for candidates). I'll bet I'm not the only ...

Wherever the Republican Convention is held, I'd very much like to see the contagion stats on delegates and locals for the month following the convention.

By the way, does anyone have news on the Democratic Convention? Is it going to be one big Zoom?

I don't think this is a whackjob theory, but - today being Good Friday 2020 - I expect a surge in virus cases soon after this weekend from people who insisted on going to church services confident that the natural cautions of contagion were somehow exempted in a house of worship.

It may be significant that 'Blogo's' clemency was a commutation rather than a pardon. It means that the former Democratic governor gets out of prison but it does not restore his right to vote or his right to own a gun or some other rights and privileged.

I must reconsider my long-held atheistic opinions.

You're not likely to see legislation specifying how Grand Juries are organized because Grand Juries are creations of the Judicial Branch, not of the Legislative Branch. More likely the court system, under the supervision of the State Supreme Court, will work up rules of court that cover this topic.

On a less entertaining note: I have been edgy because the entire impeachment focuses on the phone call to the Ukrainian president in July 2019. Nothing about abandoning the Kurds, about violating the War Powers Act, about violating the Geneva Conventions, about failing to rehab Puerto Rico, about th...

Should i hold my breath while I wait for Donald Jr., Eric and Jared to enlist in the military to fight Daddy's War?

Anything official that designates American Jews as a nationality other than American or a race other than caucasian raises the possibility of further aggravating antisemitism. Such would be an official recognition and endorsement of the bigots' contention that Jews are not real Americans or are a ra...
