Lani, we were newbs together!!!

We three! Doc Conspiracy was the gateway drug. Been hooked ever since.

Congratulations Foggy, congratulations one and all! Can't belief the Fogbow has been part of my life for going on nine of those twelve years.

Here's to the future!

It was actually anti-climactic. The municipal prosecutor surrendered before I could get even wound up. He's going to dismiss the case, but wants to have a word with the officer involved first, as does the municipal judge. The reason why is pretty self-evident: The cop who stopped my client is a cer...

The party, ie, the RNC, did not select him. He filed to run in the primary. He won. The role of the party is to fail to denounce him as unfit.

Can I tinker with that idea? I'm not crazy about the "you get the 1400 if you get a shot" because the country needs the financial stimulus in a pandemic/recession on principle. I would certainly be for having the shots come with a payment of some amount, as I am a proponent of paying peopl...

Just a reminder that some of the above bio is fake: Cawthorn had already been turned down from the Naval Academy at the time of his accident. Also, the "CEO" stuff is a false business. No income from it, no employees. No sign of activity.

This is very funny. Carry on.

I only caught the last bit, but the vile Pete Hegseth of Fox was out talking to Harvard students to get their reaction to this awful ban. Ban of what? I *think* she got tossed off of some committee, but perhaps I used the wrong word. My bad. It's covered in post #89 on page 4 of this thread: Harvar...

Thanks, all. I've sent it to my local paper--it's too long for a Letter to the Ed., so I sent it to the story editor. If they don't take it I'll try elsewhere. I've been a language and content editor for over 30 years, so analyzing the intent behind written material is the thing I do best. I've ofte...

cf Stefanik's above statement, I was moved to write the following. Seriously outraged at her use of language. ----- Yesterday Elise Stefanik released a statement about the election. On the surface, her words seem to be snooze-worthy and her message one of benign if begrudging congratulations. But wh...

Doers of defamation and the defamation they do?

The editor says this one needs work. Think along the lines of Defamers and the Defamation they Defame. (Too bad that doesn't make sense.

Thank you, Foggy!

Gosh, so many possibilities--though in all honesty even IANAL me know that this is going to be a tough haul.

Nonetheless, I'm going for LoudStupid.

Can we count disbarments too? I know you all say that's also unheard of, but Giuliani and the very ill Lyn Wood are asking for it.

Lani --> #respect
