Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue--Debunkery Edition

Every now and then I get overwhelmingly irritated by tendencies of the modern mind, particularly the ones that preclude rational thought. Like Ford Prefect, I start to feel that people are trying to keep their brains from working:

A bedtime story for Comey lovers--Trump's wild Moscow nights

So, Demonratic Trump collusion story has melted like snowfall in Miami, taking 14 months to do so. No evidence is final determination of House Intel Committee as it wraps up months of wasted work, much of it wasted by two things: lying Jim Comey (and Brennan, Clapper, and a host of others) and by whining Mad Adam Schiff, appearing on 250 talk shows in 14 months--I wonder how much WE spent on his cab fare to the TV studios.

Slow Play

Folks, I golf so I know just how it is. You want to do a deal so you call your Greens Keeper with whom you're on a first name basis and set up a Tee Time, around 10ish so your (prospective) partner has enough time to stop at the office and pick up his weekday clubs and answer his email without being rushed before you hit the links.

Because it looks silly to golf in a three piece you stop at your Clubhouse locker for your knickers and lucky argyles from the pro shop at St. Andrews and your trendy Cabby Cap, then you head out to the first Tee where your target fellow golfer, Carts, and Caddies are waiting, but not too long. You didn't have to stop for stogies because the Refreshment Cart with its Frosties and Humidor normally catches up by the 2nd Hole and you don't want to get too sloppy too early.

You and your buddy share a Cart because you're talking business- "Did you hear the one about the Rabbi, the Priest, the Minister, and the Hooker?" "Oh, that's funny. I reminds me of this one with a Buddhist Monk." "Hah, hah, hah. Right Action. I'll bet it was 'Right Action.'"

Everything is going swimmingly and you're totally on track to hit the 19th Hole for a late lunch and paperwork signing with time for a Sauna and a Shower when you get to the Tee Box and there's a Foursome in front of you.

Disaster!

Lee Camp AMA Tonight, 7pm eastern

Hi C99!

At WayoftheBern we've been hosting more AMAs recently, and for tonight we scored a big one: Lee Camp!

So I wanted to stop by, say Hi, and invite everyone (who can tolerate Reddit)to stop by and ask a question, or help beat back the inevitable trolls that we expect to come out of the woodwork ("How dare you promote RT!?!?")

THE TUESDAY OPEN THREAD: slouching toward Bethlehem

What kind of beast comes slouching
What kind of beast comes slouching
What kind of beast comes slouching
Slouching towards Bethlehem?

People get ready cause it won't be long
Before the hurricane will be blowin' strong
And the chance to rise will be come and gone
When he's slouchin towards Bethlehem

He's comin' in the name of hunger
Draggin all the poor folks under
Who stands behind him I wonder
Slouchin towards Bethlehem

He's comin' in the name of high finance
Corporations, religion and violence
Countin' on collusion and silence
Slouchin towards Bethlehem

You better stand with your shoulder to the wheel
You better band together at the top of the hill
You better blow that horn much louder still
When he's slouchin towards Bethlehem

What kind of beast ... ?
