Ok. I am so upset about Puerta Rico I can't sleep.

The Democrats are now run by sociopaths. They don't believe in fair elections or the right to vote, and neither does Hillary. Hillary is a poisonous, power hungry ogre. I won't vote for her ever, ever ever. I won't vote for anyone that supports her. She is violating the civil right of thousands of Americans. As usual they are smearing Sanders accusing him of their crimes.

Rachel Discusses No Hootin' or Hollerin' Order for State Dem Conventions

I've stopped watching her religiously, so I had missed this discussion by her:

I live for auditory and visual distractions from the floor! -Rachel Maddow

Me, too, Rachel, me too: I also very much want the right to hoot and holler.

Pagliano's About To Take the 5th Again?!

Hey guys! Thanks for the love on this piece - but I gotta tell you that while this is mildly interesting since this guy has been in the news the last coupla months or so and we're waiting with baited breath to see what he's going to say at some undetermined point in the future and all.

For those who may have forgotten

NEW YORK, APRIL 29, 2016 -- The United States military today released its investigative report on the attack on the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) trauma hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan on 3 October 2015. The attack killed 42 people, including 14 MSF staff members, and wounded dozens more.

Spoiler(?) alert

Absolutely Fabulous: the movie is scheduled for release on July 1. Joanna Lumley, the actress who plays chain-smoking, alcoholic fashion reporter Patsy Stone and Jennifer Saunders, who plays the part of PR agent Edina Monsoon have been interviewed by V Magazine.

The first, desperate to be loved in a lurid Lacroix wardrobe, destroys everything she touches, from her client relationships to her family, while supporting Patsy’s drug-addled life. Frankly, The Devil Wears Prada doesn’t come close to Ab Fab’s mean-spirited depiction of fashion professionals.

In case you haven't followed the show:

Remember: it’s extreme, we’re cartoons. Wearing excessively ill-chosen clothes by high quality, top labels, always two or three sizes too small, that [Edina] put together with hectic abandon. And [Patsy], just a succubus who clings on.

And now Lumley has disclosed that...

What Hillary Clinton has said historically about criminality and guilt UPDATED

So, this is a piece of ancient history of which I was unaware.

I read Pheobe's excellent piece on the current legal situation for the Secretary, but when I got to the Nixonian comparison article, it seemed ironic to me that Clinton was compared to Nixon since I'd read that Rodham had worked as a young lawyer on the impeachment.
