Here's one that never gets played any more.
Quote of the day
From Diogenes' Middle Finger, commenting on the Trump impeachment imbroglio: It's becoming quite obvious that dems pulled the trigger on impeachment before they had the goods. This attempt is truly desperate: poorly planned from the beginning, and so poorly executed that every one of the conspirators, especially Adam Schiff, CNN’s Fredo Cuomo and Jake Tapper, MSNBC’s Ricky Maddow and Larry O’Donnell sound like used car salesman with one day left to hit their monthly quota. Used car salesmen? *Owwww* . . . but so fitting! Peter

The Inglorious Revolution of 2019
At 10:30am, on 24th September 2019, Britain unofficially ceased to be a Constitutional Monarchy. I say unofficially, since no debate was held, no vote was conducted, no announcement was made. In fact, it appears to have gone almost entirely unnoticed across most of the media, Parliament and nation as a whole. I refer to the extraordinary, and frankly revolutionary decision of the “Supreme” Court to declare unlawful the Prime Minister’s decision to prorogue Parliament for what was — in effect […]

IN 2020, WILL JOHN ROBERTS DO MORE OUTREACH TO MODERATES ON TRUMP'S BEHALF THAN TRUMP DOES?
I'll acknowledge that this seems like bad news. The Supreme Court announced on Friday that it will hear *June Medical Services v.

Bee Colony Collapse Disorder Was Caused By Varroa Mites - These Scientists Are Helping Find A Biological Solution
A decade ago there was concern about a mass die-off of bees, and while they rebounded nicely, it shone a light on a problem that has occurred since recordkeeping of bees first began over a thousand years ago. While it was once believed to be just random bad luck, and modern environmentalists tried to use it in their wedge against scientists, the problem is varroa mites. These parasites are just a couple of millimeters in size but they infiltrate colonies and infect bees with viruses and do it will.

Any fiction that helps us pay attention to that is religious fiction. The unexpected sound of your name on somebody's lips. The good dream. The strange coincidence.
