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.

No man who is under 80 and wears a bowtie could ever be considered "on fire." Unless, you know, you actually set him on fire.

George Will's pieces on the debacle that cannot be named were definitely en fuego.

ouch.

I only wear them occasionally. When I don't feel like spontaneously bursting into flames.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

"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!!

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.

The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible.

A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia.

If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper.

Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac.

Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.
