- Every news outlet that does not lick Trump’s full brogues has carried this. And pretty much everyone has read and heard it. But it happened this week, so lets go with Associated Press for Trumpian alternative facts as Rudy Giuliani actually says it: Truth isn’t Truth. Oddly enough, I commented on this almost 3 months before it happened.
- Green Eagle finds consciousness of guilt in wanting to outlaw speaking truth to investigators.
- Jack Jodell at The Saturday Afternoon Post looks toward the future and envisions an unpleasant abode for the First Family.
- driftglass has a pretty good collection of Republican pontification, back in Clinton years, on the virtues of impeachment.
- M. Bouffant at Web of Evil shares negative thoughts on excuses offered by California Republicans caught in corruption.
- At The Onion, in a show of Republican principle, GOP leaders are demanding the resignation of Duncan Hunter after discovering that he is poor.
- Yellow Dog at Blue in the Bluegrass wants to march after listening to Beto O’Rourke, who has some small chance of beating Ted Cruz in Texas.
- E.A. Blair at MadMikesAmerica analyzes the 22nd Amendment, the constitutional provision that caused me to vote for Hillary. It was enacted by Republicans in 1951 as a petty move in a sort of retro-revenge against FDR. It provides term limits for presidents.
- In The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser, atheist and former pastor Bruce gets mail challenging whether he was ever a true Christian. We who live in faith do very often come across with overbearing condescension, do we not? As my father used to tell it, there is no human more arrogant than a Christian holding four aces.
- Max’s Dad takes Max to see Pearl Jam, then provides us with a brief, witty, review of each song. He does love him some Pearl Jam.
- The Journal of Improbable Research finds a study on whether superfluous apologies (as in “Sorry to hear you have a headache”) affect social influence. One experiment: will a stranger be more willing to lend you a cell phone if you offer a signal of empathy?
