Let’s start with some good news and a laugh, as RJ Matson notes the emergence of forged elector ballots, and we learn that the January 6 Committee has subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani and several others connected to the attempt. It’s not the White House tapes in which we heard Nixon actively plotting to pay off the […]
My initial response to Clay Bennett (CTFP)’s cartoon is not “maybe it’s me” but “yeah, it’s definitely me.” I was thinking that because you can declare an Ace to be 1, he still had a straight flush, J-Q-K-1-2. I’m less embarrassed by thinking a flush could — how you say? — go around the corner, […]
John Cole shows both reactions to Biden’s press conference. He gets the time wrong: It was just under two hours, hardly four, but still a prodigious effort. The dual response, I think, is between those who did the assigned homework — who watched the conference and judged it for themselves — and those who fake […]

Timing is everything, and, when I first saw this Matt Wuerker (Politico) piece, I planned to feature it with an amusing discursion on Willie Sutton, who was something of a celebrity bank robber, in that, after serving his time, he popped up on the interview circuit. As it happens, he denied ever saying that he […]
We usually associate Jack Davis with TV Guide, but Steve Brodner is taking on the role this morning, because the January 6 Hearings will be starting at roughly 9 AM Eastern, or about the time I file. So if you haven’t got your TV on, flip it on now and start watching. I’m assuming that […]
