The Morning Rant

"So that imbecile Bill DeBlasio went on record a couple of days ago, saying, quote As President, I would issue a robot tax for corporations displacing humans, and create a federal agency to oversee automation, unquote. Yes, he really said this. A robot tax. I've heard it said recently that if the Democrats want to do well against Trump, all they have to do is not sound completely insane. But if that's the case, they're not doing a very good job."

Giving Lawyers A Bad Name

Ace's piece on Lisa Bloom yesterday reminded me that I had bookmarked this tweet for later use. I almost feel sorry for Kathy Griffin here. Almost, but not quite:

A) @LisaBloom suggested holding a press conference a couple days after the Trump photo scandal upended my life. As you can see, it turned out to be an infomercial for her firm in her office. I didn't know she had tweeted out this memo with glamour shots the night before. pic.twitter.com/mcGJayE6bp

If what Griffin is saying is true, I think she has enough to go to Bloom's state bar association (California?) to file an ethics complaint. If she doesn't, she's just running her mouth on Twitter, and who knows how much of it she's just making up? She's just mad because hiring a fancy-pants, high-priced lawyer didn't get her whatever it was she thought she deserved.

2. kill it.
3. gut it.
4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.#lefties
