H.L. Mencken was a prophet.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

As an attorney, Mitchell did something she knows you never do.

She asked a witness questions that she didn't already know the answers to.
With no independent investigation and facts to go on she was a fish out of water.
I don't know what the repugs were hoping for, but she wasn't it.

Vision impaired? Huge computer monitor.

I have Age Related Macular Degeneration. (ARMD)
I can still see well enough to drive in the local area, but finer stuff is hard for me to see.

For $98 I bought a 24" TV.
For $20 I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse.
I connected the TV to my laptop with an HDMI cable.

This. Is. FANTASTIC!

Raise your hand if you know 75 women.

One, two...three...?
OK.
Keep your hand up if you 'know' 75 women who would vouch for you on national television.
My Bullshit Meter just pegged.

Ok, I'll come clean re: NYT op-ed

It wasn't me either.
I know, I know.
A lot of people are saying it was that bastid trof.
And yes, I have used the word 'lodestar' occasionally.
But I didn't do it.
Honest.

(I think it was Tiffany.)

My new guilty pleasure: Cowboy Kent Rollins, Chuck Wagon Cook

We made the 'from scratch' refritos and chiles rellenos.
MUY BUENO!
