Some Reads for Friday

 The only people who should be deported are these anti-American right-wing mentally unstable freakazoids like Joel Webbon and the rest of his motley crew.

He is a scary son of a bitch because he is obviously unhinged.  Even worse are people who actually believe the bullshit he spews.

He should be investigated, especially after the not-so-veiled threat he made against Mike Huckabee.  Let's hope it happens.

First it was the Microsoft outage yesterday, and today it was the catastrophe with grounding of all flights in the U.S., which was later lifted.

It's the Trump administration.  It fucks up everything it touches.

More for Thursday

 I doubt many people saw it coming with regard to Pete Hegseth covering his ass over his Veterans Day visit at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

A Few for Wednesday

 After a week of suspense, Scott Colom has officially won the US Senate seat for Mississippi, thus increasing the Democrats' margin in the that body.

An obituary of sorts to note is the death of Salon magazine, which in its early years supplied a lifeline for many of us distressed with the Republicans' witch hunt of Bill and Hillary Clinton.  It also exposed then-Representative Henry Hyde for the womanizing hypocrite he was, to say nothing of Newt Gingrich's antics.

The discussion board, Table Talk, was perhaps the best discussion board ever on the web.  I never bothered  with The Well, so I have no comparison to make.  As it was, Table Talk was the best in the late 1990s until at least Bush v. Gore.

Among the notable places to visit on this Veterans Day was in Washington, D.C. with this satirical statue of Trump:

A Few for Tuesday

 Obit:  Actor Stacy Keach,  85, known for roles on television and on the big screen but had his greatest notoriety as a world-class Shakespearean actor,  died at his home in Poland after battling heart issues for many years.

Snip:

Walter Stacy Keach Jr. was born on June 2, 1941, in Savannah, Georgia, where his father taught drama at Armstrong Junior College. The family moved to Pasadena, and Keach graduated from Van Nuys High School in 1959. (His dad had signed as a contract player with Universal.)

Keach studied theater at the University of California, Berkeley and between semesters worked with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. He then won a scholarship to the Yale School of Drama and then a Fulbright Scholarship, which brought him to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

_____

Interesting he had connections with Ashland, Oregon's, Shakespeare Festival.

He was all over the 1959 Van Nuys High School yearbook, his senior yearbook.  He was known as Stacy even then.  He didn't look that much different in high school, just younger. He was involved in a lot of activities in his high school.  As  a senior, he appeared in the school play, "Good Bye, My Fancy."

Predictably, House Republicans turned chickenshit regarding the attempted impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

A Few Reads for Monday

 Hegseth is the subject for articles of impeachment thanks to outgoing Republican representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.  Furthermore, this article shows Hegseth was an outright weirdo and embarrassment as head of the Department of Defense.

Andrew Sullivan engages in some wishful thinking.

I want Trump around long enough to face the music.
