Hope Everyone Kept The Receipts For Their Fitzmas Presents...because they might all have to be returned. Is Tucker Carlson on fire? Definitely not. You have my word that Tucker Carlson will never be deemed to be "on fire." Still, a good piece, even if it just says stuff you already know. Even Better Bit by Michael Barrone. It gets to the CIA's covert operations against the US government, briefly, at its conclusion. Thanks to Dr. Reo Symes for suggesting I read that all the way through. posted by Ace at 02:09 PM
CommentsNo man who is under 80 and wears a bowtie could ever be considered "on fire." Unless, you know, you actually set him on fire. Posted by: Sue Dohnim on November 18, 2005 02:22 PM

I nurse a secret fantasy where I jam Charles Osgood's bowtie up his ass and set the both of them on fire, while he delivers some banal piece of shit observation in rhymed couplets. Posted by: S. Weasel on November 18, 2005 02:36 PM
My secret fantasies tend more toward the lesbian cheerleader with me as the pom pom end of the spectrum. We're Charles Osgood ever to appear in any of my fantasies I would hope I would burst into flames. Posted by: JackStraw on November 18, 2005 02:40 PM
Every time I look at Tucker Carlson and that stupid goddamned bowtie, I want to put my fist through his prissy momma's-boy face. It's an atavistic reaction, totally unconnected to his beliefs and opinions. But he looks like such a dork. (And I bet if you hit him hard enough, he'd cry.) Posted by: Monty on November 18, 2005 02:40 PM
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Tucker Carlson a Tai-Kwon-Do black belt and weapons expert? Or am I thinking of somebody else? Posted by: lyle on November 18, 2005 03:14 PM
All you lawlerly types, what's the significance of Fitzgerald asking for a new grand jury? Posted by: Knemon on November 18, 2005 03:15 PM
Oh wait, maybe that was Cameron Diaz in Charlie's Angels. Posted by: lyle on November 18, 2005 03:16 PM
The post on thermobaric weapons reminded me of this: "If you build a man a fire, he'll be warm for an hour. But if you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of lhis life." Posted by: utron on November 18, 2005 03:26 PM
Fitzgerald's chasing his own tail. He started with a false premise, built a mistaken theory, failed to ask obvious questions, and kept looking for confirmation of his original false premise. Maybe now he's trying to retrace his steps but I doubt it. It's what Lawrence Walsh did in Iran-Contra. He bought the official Liberal Media version, hook through sinker. He never had the first clue what it was all about. Posted by: lyle on November 18, 2005 03:28 PM
I don't know enough about crim law to speculate why he could/would/should get another grand jury, but this guy's last monkey circus of a grand jury not only proved that there was no underlying crime, but that Fitzmasclause's list of naughty and nice couldn't even figure out the chronology of events. Thank you, Mr. Woodward. Isn't there a statute of limitations or something to just shut it down with? I see his proceedings as a quagmire. tee hee. Posted by: joeindc44 on November 18, 2005 03:28 PM
Knemon, I'm not a lawyerly type (nor do I play one on television), but I believe the term of the previous grand jury had expired. To continue the investigation, he needed a new one. Unlike Ronnie Earle, who shops around for grand juries in Austin until he finds one who'll give him his indictments. Posted by: Dave in Term on November 18, 2005 03:31 PM
"If you build a man a fire, he'll be warm for an hour. But if you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of lhis life." Classic.... you should use that as a sig line!! Posted by: Madfish Willie on November 18, 2005 04:51 PM

"All women who are overweight or obese will have to wear burka. 10,000 steps per day, low carb."
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.
TJM definitively ranks the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and explains the joys of discovering older movies over anticipating new ones.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.-- Krebs v Carnot

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long. Recent Comments
