The Plot Thickens- A Lot

From the Guardian:

"News of the World phone-hacking whistleblower found dead

Death of Sean Hoare – who was first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson knew of hacking – not being treated as suspicious..."

Not being treated as suspicious by whom?  Scotland Yard?  Oh, that's a big surprise.

Now I'm getting interested in this story.  This is just what it needed to really take off- a suspicious death.  It's finally starting to sound like an episode of Law and Order.

Wait a minute! since this isn't about Maoist Lefties or Anthony Weiner's... Weiner I, as a Right Wing Blogger, must ignore it completely. Or! Proclaim this is some Soros funded anti-1st Amendment plot!

So There! How do you explain that Libruls!

"A neighbour, Nicky Dormer, who lives opposite, said three police cars and two ambulances arrived at the property at 11am."

Not suspicious at all.

Before we get all Oliver Stone about it though, he had a drug and alcohol problem apparently.

I'm all excited about the pie in Rupert's suit jacket. I KNOW it was a stunt by his PR folks. It's grabbing all the headlines around here.

Reminds me of a line in a movie I once saw, where some guy says to Sigourney Weaver, "You just fucked your way to the top." Sigourney replies. "Well, I sure wouldn't be much of a businesswoman if I fucked my way to the bottom."

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
