Dr. Harriet Hall (SkepDoc),

a well known and respected health fraud skeptic, has passed away.

She will be missed...

Why on earth are classified documents in the US

apparently not properly tracked and accounted for?? Is there no-one person or department that tracks the whereabouts of classified docs at all times and, responds rapidly whenever they go "missing" or wind up in unauthorized hands.

It seems to me that classified document provenance would be even more important than for valuable works of art for instance. Trump's purloined documents should have been detected from the outset (and maybe Biden's misplaced docs as well).

Be careful what you wish for??

It occurs to me that the satisfaction expressed in recent weeks that the Repugs won the House by only a few seats (no Red Tide) might have missed the downside i.e. a half dozen of so Repug extremists now have control of the agenda (which they would not have had if a larger majority had been realized).

Has anyone switched from

Donalds to McCarthy yet?

January 5, 2023

Donalds didn't vote.

Why?

Wondering if Trump's tax returns

show that he donated his salary, as he claimed, while President? If so, he presumably would have claimed a deduction(?).

Can anyone please reiterate what the legal basis is for

public disclosure of Trump's personal tax returns (in the absence of criminal charges). I'm not clear on that and is it not a rather unusual or unprecedented action?

Why is Trump not pronounced by the courts to be a

vexatious litigant?? There certainly seems to be ample reason what with the numerous frivolous lawsuits he files.

And, add the hack lawyers he hires.

Calling all Wordsmiths!

We have a crisis developing here in which the English language no longer has the terminology to properly describe what has just happened. Words like buffoonery, idiocy, bizarre and incomprehensible are simply not adequate.

Surely the OED has been defeated - will anyone be able to come up with a solution??

Paraphrasing the late great Leonard Cohen:

The holy books are open wide
They're working day and night
But they'll never ever find that cure for ... Trump
There ain't no drink no drug
(Ah tell them, angels)
There's nothing pure enough to be a cure for Trump.

Imitation Seafood "Never Imitated"

From a Walmart Canada online ordering site:

'Aquamar Classic Flake Style Surimi 340g

Aquamar Real Fish. Never Imitated.

Imitation Crab Flakes'

https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/aquamar-classic-flake-style-surimi-340g/6000191270600

That aside, anyone ever tried it? Is it a decent substitute for crab meat?
