found online by Raymond

 
From The Journal of Improbable Research:

“We talk ‘through’ our clothes, if we want [sic] or not.”

– say a research team from Queen Mary University of London, who have recently created ‘Smart Arse’ – a pair of ‘sensing trousers’ (that’s ‘sensing pants’ US) – which can reveal details of the ‘conversational engagement’ of the wearers.

The Hopelessness of It All

From Green Eagle:

So the nation was treated yesterday to nine hours of evidence that Donald Trump is nothing but a cheap, brazen criminal. But of course, sad to say, every sentient person in the country already knew that; there has never in our whole history been anyone more manifestly guilty that Trump. So will this further round of national humiliation and disgrace be the tipping point that we have waited so long for, the point at which we all understand how much we degrade and disgrace ourselves by allowing it to go on for another day?

Forget it. Regardless of how incontrovertible the signs of Trumps guilt are, the Republicans will go right on denying the truth until their dying days.

Fake News And Real News

From Dave Dubya:

This just in!

Wasn’t that great news we learned from the House Oversight Committee hearing?

No, not from Cohen. He’s liar. So what if he lied to protect Trump? After he admitted it, and expressed shame and remorse, the Republicans repeatedly reminded him he was a liar. They were righteously upset about Cohen the rat telling lies. I get angry just thinking about it, don’t you?

That’s all we needed to hear.

But that’s not the big news.

The big news is Republican Mark Meadows PROVED Birther Trump is not a racist!
