No Mohawks for Jefferson

Longtime commenter T.R. Sterling sends along this news item as fair warning for my redheaded son: Derrill Rockwell told police he grabbed his rifle, the .22-caliber he kept handy to kill rodents around the house, about 5 a.m. Oct. 5 and walked outside to confront it. The bird. Possibly, he told police, the same fowl […]

‘Due to Her Excellent Reputation Among California Democrats …’

This was what you might call “a clue”: Kinde Durkee, once a trusted treasurer to dozens of California Democrats, pleaded guilty in the biggest campaign embezzlement case ever to hit U.S. politics. In a federal court in Sacramento, Durkee admitted to stealing more than $7 million from roughly 50 clients during an 11-year period from […]

Olbermann’s Career: The First Time as Tragedy, the Second Time as Farce
