Justice, tempered by Mercy; Anger, tempered by Snark. Amateur Everything. Chronic insomniac. Aggressively progressive. Hopeful cynic. A lie has speed; truth has endurance. If I can't set a good example, then I'll serve as a cautionary tale.

a man with the words i aim to misbehave above him

Alt: Nathan Fillion as Captain Malcolm Reynolds in 'Firefly'. Standing in the bay of his ship, looking very dramatic, he says, "I aim to misbehave."

I'm trying to track down and collate all the relevant information. It looks like there's only seven people that are currently alive who fit the classification "former Surgeon General". Not sure why the seventh one wasn't included. Still, 85% is pretty good.

Still a bit early in the year for it, but I appreciate that you typed out all the 'la's.

Good morning from the line outside the courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former FBI director James Comey is set to be arraigned on federal charges.

I’m here for @lawfaremedia.org.

On one hand, the propellant inhalers is bad. No denying that. On the other hand, I’m pretty sure all the crypto mines, private jets, and general military industrial complex is far worse.

I should be able to breathe without fear of melting the ice caps

Up to 25,000 Cubans could soon be fighting for Russia.

It is reported that Cubans are promised about $2,000 per month - far more than they can earn at home. It is also possible that they are promised jobs in construction but then sent to the frontlines.

Sure, you know it and I know it, but there's still a lot of those nonvoters with their heads in the sand. Also Trump voters who might actually pay attention to that level of authority (not as likely but still possible).

If anything, Oz is worse because he went to medical school and knows better.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

They love our anger and frustration. They can't figure out what to do with our derision and mockery.

My uncle always used to chalk it up to computers. Didn't matter what it was, if it was smarts related and he didn't understand it *without being told or shown*, he just said, "computers". Then he ignored it completely, trusting the "guys who know computers".

He wouldn't have stood for this shite.

Exactly, how many 'American success stories' are about a doctor from wherever coming to America and getting a job as a cab driver, or similar? It takes a chunk of money just to move state to state. Moving countries, even more. *Running* to another country? Takes everything. Starting over.

That's true, and the little article blurb doesnt specify. I'd love to see 50 State SGs make a similar statement!
