I suppose there’s good money in it but pretending to believe that federal appellate court rulings are about “the law” or something other than partisanship and ideology must be exhausting.
So apparently, Boris Johnson getting ready to do "Weekend at Bernie's." (This mostly a comment on how they keep saying everything is just a "precautionary measure." Right.)
We live in interesting times.
The best journalists of our days are two comedians, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and one sportscaster, Keith Olbermann.
“We live in interesting times.” Isn’t that a Chinese Curse???
Olbermann was AWESOME.
