In Your Lap, Now

Seriously, you guys can have it.

I hope Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey doesn't have a fifth cousin once removed who once met a '60s black radical or took a course with a black law professor. I hope she never gave money to a Democrat, ever, or posed for a picture with one (God help us if she ever posed, smiling, with Janet Reno). I hope she's never said an appreciative word about Rosie O'Donnell or Barbra Streisand. I hope there isn't a picture of the president of the United States in her office, or the U.S. attorney general, because both of those guys are, y'know, black.

I hid the weiner.

It's Frankenstein with BlackBerries.

That is all.

Moloch Most Slimy,
Please keep Professor Dangerous from ever being elected or promoted to
any position that would keep him from commenting on politics.

This is darling (bless his heart), but...

In that but lies the rub.

And another one out of the park.
Pepe Escobar has been en fuego* lately.

*Pardon my lame ass attempt.

Silk Knot

Pepe Escobar has a deep piece up at TomDispatch.

A taste:

Westerners seem to forget that the Middle Kingdom and Persia have been doing business for almost two millennia. (Does “Silk Road” ring a bell?)

It's very linky and analysis dense.

Happy New Year

And I will leave you with words from Wolcott

As you reach the later innings of allotted time, “keeping up” seems ever more quixotic and a case of diminishing returns...
