Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:

An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed

I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

Some researchers think the enigmatic and unreadable cipher of the Voynich Manuscript has resisted decipherment because the pages were bound in the wrong order, and putting them in the right order might allow them to finally break the code
But as of now: No Joy
It occurs to me that a key step in breaking the Zodiac 340 cipher was putting the three parts of it in the correct order.

Flashback: "trans man" Lawyer freaks out after a judge denies "his" motion. He's ultimately arrested. "He" makes so much drama he was just recruited to develop a new CW show.
I'm just wondering if this flighty high-calorie pyrsyn is also in the news today for other reasons....
Update: No, it's not. Zee/Zem says they's name is like "Rob Hopkins" or something.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.

My Eyes! » January 23, 2006 Mine Safety - Now? In 1958, when Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia was elected to the Senate for the first time, 358 people were killed in coal mining accidents in the United States. Since that time, the man has become a master at finding federal dollars for projects in his state, but even the New York Times acknowledges he has done little for miners. For better or worse, coal is ever a prime economic resource for West Virginia - a lodestone for corporations, and still a millstone for too many miners. This has been true through the political ages, right up through the powerful reign of the state's Democratic favorite son, Senator Robert Byrd, who has packed West Virginia with highway projects and other pork-barrel goodies that have somehow failed to securely touch the lives of the long-suffering coal miners. Now, after two mining accidents in a relatively short period of time, Byrd has decided mine accidents are the fault of the Bush administration. I wonder...will Robert Byrd speak out against the mining industry itself, or will the $21,000 a year they give him ensure that he keeps his ire pointed at Bush? (Corrected number) posted by Slublog at 01:07 PM Comments I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am totally amazed at politicians like Byrd, Kennedy and all others on both sides who have been in office for as long as they have. It is truly past time for term limits, their arrogance just grows and grows the longer that they remain in office. Sadly no one in WV will see that Byrd is just a leech sucking at the blood of taxpayers. He will, unfortunately be able to convince a portion of WV voters that these deaths are the fault of the president. How pathetic! Posted by: The Real Steve on January 23, 2006 02:11 PM Neither of these mines were named for Robert Byrd, were they? Or waybe the highway that leads to the mines was. Or perhaps the hospital that sent the emergency crews was the Robert Byrd Hospital. Or maybe the offices where they held the press conferences were named after the esteemed Senator. Oh, yeah, the disasters themselves are Bush's fault. Posted by: wiserbud on January 23, 2006 02:21 PM If Bush rolls over on this one the way they let that despicable mayor/combo tag team from LA try to say that Katrina's devastation was all the feds fault they deserve the beating they get. What the hell is the job of a senator, a democrat senator of the people no less, if not to insure that the single biggest industry in his state is safe and fair to its workers? Byrd is a disgrace and the way some people defer to him as if he is some honorable elder statesman makes my stomach turn. Posted by: JackStraw on January 23, 2006 02:36 PM mayor/governor combo....sigh Posted by: JackStraw on January 23, 2006 02:38 PM I believe that Sen. Byrd was elected to the Senate in 1948. I say this because I was doing some newspaper research on the Feb-Mar 1949 time period and he was listed in a newspaper article as Sen. Byrd of WV. Unless there was another Sen. Byrd of WV.
