“But it raises some eyebrows, so I thought it best that I resign and not put them in that position.”

– The creator of the anti-Hillary fake Apple ad lookalike (from, ironically in my opinion, 1984)

Gosh, ya think? We were talking about this on the way to lunch, and the first words out of my mouth was that the guy would be outed, and sooner rather than later. Even I, with my humongous brain, did not think it would be this afternoon.

Personally, I’ve accepted that it’s going to brain-damaging to pay any serious, analytical attention to the machinations of these egomaniacal freaks and their followers.

Funny stuff from ex-doorwalker Cole (there’s nothing that approaches the hate of a scorned lover):

A lot of things can be said about this scandal, but the notion that the Democrats might come out looking the worst is a particularly silly one (we’ll chalk it up to wishful thinking).

How does one tell one shit-stained wretch from another one? I imagine you have to look really close.

First sentence of the supporting blockquote from a NYT article that no one will ever read kinda did make me giggle:

United States attorneys have a long history of being insulated from politics.

Fortunately for me, I’ve known a few US Attorneys, and they’re about as “insulated” as that shed in the backyard where you stow your post-hole digger. To hear them tell it from their own mouths, that is…not for a story in a newspaper. Every election is fretting time — serious career blues. Same thing holds true, down through all the various sizes of government teats, too.

Based on my two-person poll, America thinks this: they’re freaking enormously respected lawyers, and they’ll most likely die on beds that Louis XIV would envy. Their great-grandkids will be wiping their…hands with silk kitchen towels. Ideally, I hope for better, but jeez louise, America is no danger from a bag full of cashiered government lawyers. Change the sheets, lady, and go back to sleep.

I just don’t see this happening in a place that hasn’t embraced property rights. ALL property rights.

I hope the feeling’s mutual, because I sure do love dogs.

I briefly entertain getting me a dog, but past results indicate that my future performance is not guaranteed. As soon as I settle on one, I’ll be hying off to India or Siberia or Pennsylvania. Dogs are a reason I want to retire, so I can spend the time with them that they deserve.

That feeling of getting the first PO…

Meantime, I’m either aiding and abetting, or utterly destroying, the career of a budding young bidnessman — I hired a neighborhood kid to mow the lawn. He’s working awfully damn hard…I think this might be his first one — his mama’s been by twice to check on him. I’m going to tip him good, try to encourage him to follow the path of evil Capitalism.

I might have me a couple of pops tonight. I might have had a couple already.
