Using my tax money, the state of Tennessee attempted to lethality inject a woman with a known vascular condition using the doctor who botched the state's most recent execution. After two attempts Christa Pike did not die, but she does have brain damage. Call it what it is: state-sanctioned torture.

Meet Civil War veteran Norman Taylor (1830-1911) who ran 6-day races in his stockings. Called the "Vermont Pie Eater" for his diet of pie, cheese, & tea. If Taylor, age 65, could run 427 miles in his last race, I can finish writing my books in progress--including this &^%$ one on pie in America.

Lithograph image of a bearded man standing in his stocking feet. In his proper left hand he holds from the top a United States flag attached to a stick that extends from beneath the flag to the floor. The man appears to be wearing suspenders. On his chest hang three medals. The caption beneath the image reads: "NORMAN TAYLOR, THE 'PIE EATER." CHAMPION TWELVE-HOUR-PER-DAY RUNNER." He does appear a bit fatigued.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

1) Thank you, Karin. I’m happy that both the 1998 and 2026 DNA tests results jibe with the historical evidence compiled in my first book. I also think the historical information alone should be enough. But I know the world we live in & why DNA was brought into the picture.

Some of you may know that my grandfather was fired from his job as a school teacher in Philadelphia because he was a communist and wouldn't name names. So he sued the school district, it went to the Supreme Court, he lost ultimately. I just found some of his typewritten briefs. What a find!
