  1. Jesse Dollemore video: Republican Congresswoman Announces Plan to Call SEVEN DEAD WITNESSES TO TESTIFY!!! [Click] I remember a dead person called to testify at the trial in the movie “Rashomon.”

      Why?
      How?

    2. In Washington, "to get to the bottom" of the JFK assassination, and how is not clear. In Rashomon a man was killed; all the people called to testify gave contradictory testimony implicating different people; the decedent was called and testified by way of a medium with the same result.

    3. Another Kurosawa film that comes immediately to my mind is "Throne of Blood," his version of MacBeth.

    1. Why, imagine that! And with those generous bonuses the gub'mint is doubtless offering to compensate the former employees for their inconvenience, too!

    2. "More than 60 lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration since the president was inaugurated on 20 January." Not a bad start; I wonder how many will be added tomorrow. I haven't yet checked on other countries' (e.g. Mexico's, Canada's) most recent progress in diversification of their trading partnerships. Still looking for Canadian goods to purchase; I can't tolerate alcohol any more, and although I could use a new jacket, I am an odd size.

    3. Here you go, Alan.
      Etsy shops that sell from Canada
      They have everything from San Francisco sourdough starter that is 150 years going, to tee shirts that say, "Not a snowball's chance in hell Donald." ENJOY!!

    4. This may be my favourite!

      Note: Be sure to scroll down in the righthand column in a site on Etsy to be certain it ships from Canada. I saw one shop selling Canada shirts but ships from New York State!

    5. Thanks, listener. Maybe the shirts are smuggled over the border and shipped from NY?

    1. Of course that will to a limited extent increase the risk of measles among the vaccinated as well.

    3. Aside from mental retardation and death, complications of measles don’t amount to much. [Click] And it’s only the most infectious disease known, as memory serves me.

  4. Back from our morning constitutional; my right knee is pretty good, and my right hip is better than it has been recently. I attribute the improvement of the past several days to the enteric coated aspirin I have been taking, supplemented by occasional applications of methyl saliciylate/camphor/menthol liniment.

    1. I haven’t yet tried Snake Oil [Click], but it is reassuring to know it is available should I want to give it a try.

    2. Hey, I wonder if Canada has a special that includes Snake Oil and Snakebite Remedy. 😉

  5. Wouldn't it be poetic justice if Muck leaves all his bucks to his son X, and the kid rebels, turns out liberal, and donates it all to help the poor in the world?
