My prediction on how this all ends: Merrick Garland going to prison for sexual assault.

Before going after the Electoral College, we should first rethink whatever primary system ended up with Hillary Clinton as one of the candidates.

Feels like it’s been a while since a positive story dominated the news like the building of the transcontinental railroad, landing on the moon, or the U.S. winning the gold in curling.

The actress Alice Eve is interesting, because I know lots of examples of men with two male first names for a name (Ron Paul, Paul Ryan, Paul Harvey), that’s the only example I know of a woman with two feminine first names for a name.

I’m not decided on the whole Ford/Kavanaugh issue, but I’m absolutely certain Senator Dianne Feinstein is shady.

Anyone who publicly tweets should be prosecuted under the Logan Act.

I’m actually quite curious who are the people who take Jennifer Rubin seriously. I assume they’re people on the left who use her as “even conservative Rubin says…” even though they can’t name a recent position of hers they disagree with.

If you check the side of any polygraph machine, you’ll find a sticker that says “For entertainment purposes only.”

Never saw Space Jam. Don’t care for science fiction.

If we assume Kavanaugh is innocent, I don’t think it’s possible for him to disprove charges of sexual assault on an unknown date at an unknown place. It would need more specifics. Even then, what’s the chance of finding an alibi for 35 years ago? It’s all down to credibility.

I read the Bob Iger interview, and he very carefully avoided saying “Rian Johnson killed Star Wars” though that was the gist of it.

Why do people react to Handmaid stuff with “How dare you make light of that make believe suffering!” but no one was like that with memes about Spider-man disintegrating?

The problem is that Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker is so iconic that any other performance just seems like Alden Ehrenreich getting compared to Harrison Ford.

Something I’ve learned from feeding my 3yo’s obsession with planets is that when you focus on worlds millions of miles away, it does make a lot of the problems we obsess on here seem kind of dumb.
Plus, I’ve been reading this book on the Transcontinental Railroad. It’s hard to understand how much that instantly expanded the country’s horizons. We need something like that again.

Tried to watch the Cruz/Beto debate, but these things are always just two weasels trying to out weasel each other. At least with Trump in a debate, something interesting could happen.

I don’t like either of those two. Can’t we elect like a Colt peacemaker as Senator from Texas?

I didn’t watch the Emmys, but it did get me to check out The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, so it accomplished something.

I don’t think Ted Cruz’s “Maybe police officers who accidentally go into other people’s houses and shoot them should stay on the force” is quite the kill shot he thinks it is.
People are saying the officer who shot Botham Jean needs due process before being fired, but I’m saying she should be fired based on her own version of events. Due process comes into play on whether or not she should also go to prison.

I’m so likable, I never get death threats but only the opposite, alive well-wishes. “I hope you stay alive” people say after reading my great takes.

Jeff Flake? More like Jeff “Guy You Can’t Rely On.”

It looks like this new story will damage Kavanaugh—as now it’s more than one allegation—and Ronan Farrow—as it’s much weaker than his usual stuff and makes him look like a partisan hitman.

We could be absolutely certain Kavanaugh is an irredeemable scumbag if they uncover in his past he was a U.S. Senator.

Well, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel was delightful. I only checked it out because it won all those Emmys as it was not a title that caused me to even google what the premise was. I’m more on the lookout for titles like “Robot Explosion Punch.”

I have a great feeling about this week! I think things are really going to get saner and calm down.

So does everyone — Republican and Democrat — now agree that Bill Clinton is probably a rapist and should never have been president?

I want everyone to go to prison. Everyone. You should all be in prison and think about what you’ve become.

The more certain you are, the more horrible you are.

A wolverine is what you get from cross-breeding a wolf and a tangerine.

If you’re innocent, what is the proper way to refute an allegation of sexual assault at an unknown date at an unknown place 35 years ago?

It’s kind of unseemly for Democrats to chant “We believe survivors!” It comes off as a specific slight against Mary Jo Kopechne.

I have so much trouble believing these loudest voices care at all about sexual assault. In the least, it’s not in their top ten.

I don’t know a thing about Ford or Kavanaugh to judge one’s word over the other, but I’m pretty sure about everyone else is lying.

That no allegations have come out of Kavanaugh’s 30 years in professional life seems pretty relevant.
Of course, if he did do something as a teen, he’s currently lying about it, which would also be relevant.

These activists who mob and scream at people always claim they’re doing it because they just care so much about people, but I’m pretty sure it’s just because they’re a-holes and trying to find some avenue where they might actually get praised for being an a-hole.

“Hello, Mr. FBI, we have a sexual assault allegation from 1982 at a unknown place on an unknown date. Can you clear this up?”
“Certainly. We have special resources for this. Hold on a sec.”
a few minutes later
“We have solved everything.”
everyone lives happily ever after

Since Ford said she had to drive or something, is there any confirmation she left California?
Or are they doing it remote?

At the end of this, either Kavanaugh should go to jail or Senator Feinstein should go to jail for wasting everyone’s time.
