I’m beginning to think that electing a reality game show personality to be President of the United States was a bad idea.

Trump claimed he was carried out of the rubble on 9/11 by two firefighters. Also a construction worker, a policeman, a Native American, and a cowboy.

Copy/paste from a low resolution pdf just translated the court’s ruling that “the lease did not prohibit such liens” to “the lease did not prohibit such hens.” I like the second version better. I may keep it.

Resolved: Dolly Parton’s “Here You Come Again” is country music’s “I Will Survive.” Now I want to hear Cake’s cover of that.

Salem, I don't think you get the point of the story. Your theme isn’t witches. Everything in town shouldn’t be witch this, witch that. There … were … no … witches. It’s like if we commemorated the McArthy Red Scare with communist decorations everywhere.

Today I learned why a bond posted to stay enforcement of a judgment pending appeal is called a “supersedeas bond.” 30 years of appellate practice has not gone to waste.
