- Tommy Christopher watches FoxNews so you don’t have to, tuning in just in time to hear a guest shut down the spin on the Mueller Report: “You saying it on Fox doesn’t make it so’.
- Our favorite Earth-Bound Misfit also watches Fox News and notices a remarkable change in opinion about Mueller.
- At the Borowitz Report William Barr has finished Moby-Dick and summarizes for us. There is no evidence of whales.
- Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged seems to feel the partisan summary of an unreleased summary of an unreleased report has met her low expectations. Her phrase was “seething with anticipatory disappointment.” Her reasoning is excellent, as usual.
- Charles Tiefer is a Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore. At The Moderate Voice, he explains the quasi-legal strategies Attorney General Barr and President Trump are likely to use, keeping the actual Mueller report hidden from view, so they can have a monopoly on telling us what is in it.
- Yellow Dog at Blue in the Bluegrass takes a look at the summary’s summary and suggests a new chant.
- News Corpse reports on Trump attempts to bar critics from television appearances. Turns out the case is inadvertently made that Trump surrogates should be banned.
- Jonathan Bernstein says that, even in victory, Donald Trump is showing weakness.
- Jack Jodell at The Saturday Afternoon Post takes a look at the current cast in political influence and runs down the top Dirty Dozen.
- Frances Langum covers the Pennsylvania House where the first Muslim Representative was to be sworn in. One of my Sisters-In-Christ embarrassed the family by pointedly turning the prayer into a Christian tribal event. The Republican House Leader finally guided her off the stage.
- So legendary musician Scott Walker of Walker Brothers fame has died. Not the former governor. Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson is outraged to find lame mournful jokes from fans on Twitter about the wrong Scott having died. Forget the Mueller Report and Obamacare and pre-conditions. This is the sort of issue that keeps me up at night.
- driftglass can rightfully boast of not liking Glenn Greenwald when disliking Greenwald still wasn’t cool. On the other hand, I can make a similar boast. Just sayin’
- In The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser, Bruce explores the occasional evangelical claim that Jesus was ultra-masculine. I do recall hearing about a preacher arguing against the existance of a “namby-pamby Jesus.” It is an entertaining piece.
- PZ Myers observes reports of yet another public personality characterizing atheism as an undeclared article of faith, this time with the added charge that atheism is inherently unscientific. Naturally, Professor Myers rips the poor devil apart.
- Max’s Dad goes to the theatre. The musical Come From Away is set on 9/11, the day of the attacks, as an unrelated flight is diverted to a small airport in Canada. Max’s Dad loves it.
- John Scalzi at Whatever got started late one day, so he came up with a terrific video from three and a half decades ago, Belly of the Whale by Burning Sensations.
