The Los Angeles Dodgers play the New York Mets in the first round of the baseball playoffs, so what’s more natural than the cities’ respective transit systems kidding each other? Don’t worry, @MetroLosAngeles – we sweep our subway just like the @Mets will sweep the @Dodgers — MTA (@MTA) September 30, 2015 It went on …
I would rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick than be called to “testify” in front of a Congressional hearing, particularly one chaired by Republicans who can’t be bothered to get their facts straight before browbeating me for five hours. As the accompanying video shows, the Utah Republican put a chart on …
NASA confirmed today that it had found evidence that water once flowed freely on Mars. Naturally, Rush Limbaugh immediately declared this news that there is flowing water on Mars is somehow going to find its way into a technique to advance the leftist agenda. Limbaugh said that although he wasn’t entirely sure what the agenda …
Within twenty minutes of each event’s ending today the Dodgers lost on a walkoff home run in the bottom of the ninth to the Rockies, the University of Hawai’i lost 28 – 0 to the U of Wisconsin (not really a surprise, but the 11 penalties for 100 yards was — disturbing) and the U …
This was the reaction when the lovely religious folk at the Value Voters Summit were told that Speaker John Boehner had resigned his post. Boehner has spent 25 years in public service, but to these charming people he is apparently the Anti-Christ. The day after the Pope spoke to Congress and to us all about …

Carson, who drew widespread criticism after declaring on Sunday that the United States should not elect a Muslim president, is now raking in the cash from donors who share his anti-Islam sympathies. “We sent out an email to Carson supporters, and we’ve never had an …
At least not if it puts you in the public eye when you’re already under investigation for various criminal activities at the last company that employed you. I’m talking about this guy, of course. Since at least in January, Shkreli has been under criminal investigation by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District …
I’m supposed to have a routine blood test tomorrow, including cholesterol levels and other things which are affected if I eat. I have to fast for 10 or 12 hours. The doc called me to tell me about the results of an x-ray done on my long-ago damaged and repaired knee and I had the …
I don’t need to put links up, do I? A week or so ago former Texas Governor Rick Perry withdrew from the race for the Republican Presidential nomination due to lack of public interest in him, and today current Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker did the same. He’s still in office, though, Wisconsinites, so keep your …
And then cross-fertilized. This is from “Heartbreaker,”, Free’s last album in 1972. After this one Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke got fed up with guitarist Paul Kossoff’s increasing unreliability due to addiction and went off to form Bad Company with Boz Burrell, formerly of King Crimson and Mick Ralphs, who’d left Mott the Hoople.
