Good morning to all my friends on pols. The two of you make my life much fuller 🙂
He’ll be here all week. Try the meatloaf.
And please tip your servers generously.
The worst two years in the history of the Ameican presidency and one of the skankiest Congresses ever are ending on a high note. The prison reform bill overwhelmingly passed the Senate and Ryan pledges the House will repass it. President Trump pledges to sign it.
Special credit goes to the Koch Bros. for winning Republican support for this bipartisan step away from incarceration nation. And everybody who sneers at bipartisanship — like Zappaterro — is cordially invited to go bleep themselves.
In celebration of this rare event, I am declaring a stink-free day. If you want to travel downwind, today's the day to do it!
Today is the twentieth anniversary of the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton by the U.S. House of Representatives for fibbing about a third-rate blow job. I don't think Hallmark makes a card for this occasion.
How do we know about the quality of the blow jobs?
DNA analysis.
She spit, didn't swallow and left a mess. In more ways than one.
BTW, did she ever get the dress back from the special prosecutor's office?
I thought Gingrich & Company insisted the dress be placed in an adjunct to the Smithsonian Museum's "First Ladies" exhibit.
I would have thought it belonged in the Clinton library. After all, he did beat the rap.
In the Smithsonian alongside Nixon’s tape recorder, Trump’s Rosetta Stone CD for Conversational Russian, and GW Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” banner.
One of the strangest things I've read today … a release touting a new web news aggregator & content generator, featuring former executives from NPR and Fox. The reasons they were available? #MeToo/harassment and political correctness/racism run amok, according to the founder.

Interesting, but the practical effect is ZERO.
Oh, I don't know, Dave, looks like a good start to me. Maybe it'll start a trend.
Where is Moderatus at a time like this when we need an explanation as to how this is a big fat nothing-burger?
Yeah. We need an explanation of a nothing-burger from a walking, talking shit-burger.
He's busy lobbying for a job in the Cynthia Coffman administration, and wondering why he's getting no response.
No.
He left the State.
After Granny gave him the heave-ho for stealing and betting her entire Social Security check on Red Wave 2018, he’s been a living the life of a fugitive, most recently hiding out in a squalid little rat’s nest carved out among the Kleenex aisle of the Pocatello Sam’s Club, plotting his revenge on Colorado’s socialists . . .
. . . we’re unlikely to hear from him again unless the sample ladies cut off their pity-donations of the leftover cheesey tater-tots and expired fruit cups.
Those tater-tots are really good, man!
there's no such thing as cheesy -tots… but there should be. with bacon.

Yesterday the Judicial Panel of the Tenth Circuit dismissed for lack of jurisdiction over 80 complaints of misconduct against entitled shrieking alcoholic man-baby Brett Kavanaugh. The Panel correctly held that the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act, the law governing the complaints at issue, doesn't apply to SCOTUS Justices. The Panel also held that Kavanaugh's ascendance to SCOTUS rendered the Act wholly inapplicable, even as to events that occurred when Kavanaugh was subject to the Act.

Way into the story, we read that Pentagon insiders are mad as a wet cat over this. So much for "my generals".
