Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Peterson and Frey

I swore I would not talk about this anymore, but here is my last comment on the issue.

Scott Peterson got railroaded. I am completely convinced he is guilty, but I saw nothing in that trial, had I been on the jury, that would have made me vote for guilty. I was stunned when it took them so long to come out for the death penalty- hell- they had already railroaded the guy, what scruples could they possibly have in putting him to death? They made sure everyone on the jury who thought differently from thegroup was kicked off- Peterson was dead the day he walked into court.

So- I am a little upset with the justice system in California. Now, having said that, he only thing more disgusting about this case is the odious slut Amber Frey, who is nothing more than a money machine for Gloria Allred. Allred, that self-promoting whore with no shame, spent the last two years injecting herself into the situation, using the legitimate abuses of women past and present to conduct a one-woman public trial of Scott Peterson. IN a decent society, Allred would be in the stocks in the public square.

Amber Frey’s claim to fame is that she is of such loose moral values that she slept with Scott Peterson on the first night they met. And for that, she is being given millions of dollars and a helluva lot more media attention than she deserves.

If you buy her book, you should seriously sit down and think about where you are going in life.

    Scott Peterson got railroaded yet you are completely convinced he is guilty? You may want to rethink that one John.

    To use one of your expressions, I wouldn’t piss on Scott Peterson if he were on fire.

    I think he is guilty because of his behavior, his engaging in an affair, and because you just don;t go fishing when your wife is 9 months pregnant.

    That is my personal opinion, and my personal opinion requires a low-threshold of proof, which falls far short of that required by a court of law. There is nothing logically inconsistent about me thinking someone is guilty and not being convinced beyond a reasonable doubt by the prosecution that he is in fact guilty.

    Peterson has a mega-sized dose of Mike Tyson’s problems when he was facing that rape charge: when you pretty much admit that you’re scum, jurors probably tend to care less whether you’re guilty or not. On the other hand, juries tend to be rather reluctant to hand out death sentences unless they’re completely convinced the defendant is guilty, and sometimes not even then. It’s a nasty situation all around.

    John, I think you are probably being a little tough on Ms. Frey–Peterson is pretty obviously a superior BS artist, and she ended up in a nasty situation by sheer bad luck (mind you, I won’t be buying her book either). Count me as being in favor of the “Gloria Allred in stocks” society, though. :-)

    Unless you watched all the testimony, I really can’t see where you can say he got railroaded. Reading the nightly news reports and an occasional synopses isn’t the same as listening to 6-8 hours of testimony a day for weeks on end.

    You made this decision based on news reports, and the jurers listened to hours of testimony.
