Fogbow

Here's a close up from JD's visit to the donut store. I'm no fashion maven, but this haircut is...interesting. Wait...is his barber a fogbowian?????

Anyone watching the Robert Telles trial? He's a former county official (elected) who is on trial for murdering a local journalist in Las Vegas. It happened a couple of years ago, and I barely remembered a headline version. I saw some weird tweets from folks I know who follow trials so I looked into ...

I mean...he's not wrong.

I'm not watching the convention, but I can tell when a speaker finishes; my phone gives me a notification that I've received a text. Always from that speaker. LOL

You can see how much padding is in his suit coat shoulder. The right shoulder is really drooping past where his natural shoulder is.

How crazy does he have to sound before these nitwits stop platforming him?

He's giving Ted Cruz a run for his money for most unlikable person in politics.

"Please clap" vibes.

Oooh good call. Definitely what Tina Peters was trying for at her trial in Colorado. One guy even had a sign outside calling for it.

There's a fireworks store on the highway we travel between our home and our lake cabin. Their flashy new sign boasts "TRUMP MERCH." I imagine after he loses they'll keep selling it. We pitch in with others on fireworks so don't have to go in there to buy some any more, so I have no idea wh...

RATS! maybe someone will live tweet. Wonder if she'll just plead out. I can't decide if she'll try to save her own skin by pleading or if she's so in the tank believing her own bs that she'll insist on a trial so the world can see how right she is.

I hope they pile on a bunch more. With luck the trial will be streamed.

Oh I don't think they're made by a supporter at all! Just someone who knows a mark and how to separate them from their money! It's so appalling it's almost a joke. Back when those motion-activated talking/singing fish came out, we got one as a dirty Santa gift. We used it for all sorts of jokes and ...

:snippity: I doubt it. She was trampled by her fellow Trump supporters. Yeah, it was kind of a rhetorical question. I've never heard any MAGA talk about her at all (not that I listen to a lot of Trumpers...but you can't avoid hearing about Ashley Babbitt). OTOH this could be a good opportunity for ...

I believe that I read that Gus is neurodivergent but not on the spectrum or autistic at all. His LDs are something different. He also has ADHD. Lindell investigates bathrooms. They didn't show the bathrooms, but I expect their designation is part of the facility not the DNC. He should go look at the...

Wonder if Kellye Sorrell will be there. She just plead guilty but sentencing is in January (I think). The leaders with long sentences won't be there; I guess they'll get awards in absentia? The mom of the lady who got shot will probably get an award. I wonder if the woman from GA who got trampled an...

Well, you have to admire the entrepreneurship of whoever is making those. They understand the ease with with you can separate stupid people from their money by appealing to their cult leader. Hope they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Lindell sounds like he's hyped up on something, Like all the time. All he can do is talk fast and angrily. No one wants to listen to that. Even if he was saying something actually reasonable, his affect is so off-putting you tune right out.

Yikes. Maybe her saying all that will have some folks thinking twice. So many people just hear the tl;dr of things and just hear "she's a Christian so she has our values" (if they are Christians). They may not understand that she has these really weird ideas and is not just a mainstream Ch...

I don't think anyone in the history of forever has ever been tried for a Logan Act violation. And so I went to look for the facts, and indeed, no one ever has been on trial for violating the Act which was enacted in 1799. Only two indictments have ever been handed up under the Logan Act, both in the...

I know this is from yesterday, but this is a fun article about the "walk out" music the DJ played last night for the states' roll call. It was such a great idea and very fun!

Oh gosh New Orleans is its own thing. My mother was from Louisiana and lived in NOLA after college. My whole life growing up we'd go spend a couple of weeks in NOLA and I have relatives there (and other places in LA). My GPS cracks me up trying to pronounce road names there. Natives have their own p...

Tuesday Sept 3 before Magistrate Judge Couvillier. My guess on pronouncing his last name is koo-vil-yay. My minor in French would say "coo-vee-yay." But what do I know; regions have their own quirks in pronunciation. When we moved from Houston to Nashville, I looked high and low for a str...

"a chafing dish full of schadenfreude" Bob, you're awesome, laughed like hell at that (and at the failure of TruthSocial, like it's a surprise). Credit where it is definitely due: That line was Rolodex's. Thanks, Bob! That article made me just laugh so hard; the writer really had some gre...

My favorite comment on that photo was: "What in the Brock Turner is this?"
