DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 9 hours ago
*Mr. and Mrs. Penn* Yesterday, reporting for the *New York Times*, Annie Karni wrote of Mark Penn's "inevitable... long-running political metamorphosis." An alternative interpretation of Penn's meeting with Trump last week is that the inevitability is that two sticky-palmed grifters were meant for each other. Him and his wretched wife, Nancy Jacobson, are two of American politics' most dishonest people, stealing massively from anyone they come in contact with foolish enough to take an eye off either of them. We'll get to the latest fraud case working its way against them in a moment... more »

BBC Comedy Silver

Craig at Is the BBC biased? - 9 hours ago
Alan Partridge? Aha!

“For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love: the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing: the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on. God help us. God forgive us. We live on.” - Gregory David Roberts, “Shantaram”

JARED KUSHNER GOT AN UNDESERVED SECURITY CLEARANCE AND I BET THE PUBLIC DOESN'T CARE

Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog - 13 hours ago
I wish I agreed with BooMan -- and many others -- that the corrupt process of obtaining a security clearance for Jared Kushner will become a big problem for the president. If Kushner is exposed in a very serious way, that will reflect badly on Trump in two ways. The first is that the Kushner/Trump relationship is not just a marriage, but also a family alliance coming out of the shady world of New York real estate. It’s unlikely that there any business reasons for denying a Kushner a security clearance that wouldn’t equally apply to a Trump. But the sleaziness of Trump's business ca... more »
