When the #DearLeader dictates the Truth, why keep records of the past?

Yeesh.

Well, poop.

Thanks, Sir Patrick, for many, many, many hours of entertainment. From "I, Claudius" to "Dune" to "Excalibur" to various iterations of Star Trek and X-Men.

I'm saddened to learn of the death of #WalterKoenig at age 90. While best known for playing #Chekov on Star Trek #TOS, I'll always remember him best as the sinister-but-complicated PsiCop Bester on #Babylon5 .

#RIP, sir, and thanks for many, many hours of entertainment.

Hey, we're attending the tale of " #SweeneyTodd " at #CUBoulder! Yay!

When #DonaldTrump loves your campaign ad, it almost certainly means it's as awful as decent people have been telling you it is, and you should take it down.

#JDVance is more disgusted that #Republicans are criticizing #VivekRamaswamy 's #Ohio attack ad on #AmyActon than he is over the ad itself. Gotta love those "family values."

The only silver lining here is that I suspect the ad will generate more contributions for Acton than for her vile opponent.

Earlier this month I was automatically sent my #MailInBallot . After filling it out, I dropped it off at a convenient, secure drop box on Monday. The ballot was received by the county, my signature on the envelope was validated, and my vote was counted.

And at each of those steps I got an e-mail and a text message, confirming it.

Plus I got a nice virtual #Blucifer" voting sticker!

Thank you for showing, once again, #Colorado, that this system works.

I think he's mistranslating the word for "cannibal."

Amusing story both for the headline and for the underlying message.

The take-away from #Trump canceling the #execution #livestream is not that he has even a modicum of decency, but that if a controversial idea is proposed *by someone else* that might blow back on him, he will throw it and the proposer under the bus in a hot minute. TACO loyalty.

There is a graduated, progressive #IncomeTax #measure on the ballot this #election in #Colorado, replacing a flat 4.4%, and it is remarkable that the top arguments being levied against this "bizarre/radical" measure are "It's unfair because $500K [the tipping point] isn't that much income," and "Egads, all the rich people will move away to Texas and we will be poor!"

It's time for "Barefoot in the Park" at #ArvadaCenter! Front row seats!

Legal Lingo

The views expressed by me on this weblog are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of my employer, my church, my party, my candidate, my community, my wife, my friends, or, on occasion, myself.

Views expressed by others are, well, theirs. I reserve the right to delete them, but it’s usually better to let the marketplace of ideas hold sway, even if some packages are long past their expiry date.

Stuff I link to? Sometimes it’s because I agree with it. Sometimes because I disagree with it, but want to point (mockingly, in some cases) to my sources regardless; I have a liberal arts background; I believe in citations. And linking to stuff is what the Internet is about.
