Let’s see…
With all of Mr. Friedmans accolades one would think he would be curious about the fraudulent ballots casted…but wait. It doesn’t support his loyalty to the Left.
Duhh.
Liberals lie. It’s what they do. I’m sure it’s actually a prerequisite to work at the NYT. Good to see Brit Hume finally getting into the fight, though. Sitting on the fence at this point is choosing sides anyway, so he might as well throw in with the side of right.
These are Leftists, for whom the ends justify the means.
Soon your going to see reactionaries on the political right embrace the same philosophy of expediency, because it gets results.
On the bright side, South Dakota is so red, the entirety of the Democrat caucus in Pierre can fit around an average sized conference room table, so there’s that.
But we also started down the recreational marijuana path, so it’s just a matter of time until we’re as effed-up as Oregon and Colorado.

Bad political behavior drives out good political behavior, but I do note that this election was a disaster for the Dems, another sign that any victory over Trump will be a result of cheating in icy blue urban areas.

Joe Bageant (a Virginia populist) wrote some years ago that in 1960 common sense was about equally distributed across the political spectrum, and now it wasn’t anymore.
In my youth, I’d say the same about the degree of integrity to be found in politicians of both parties. A scandal during the Carter administration was on the order of thinly-sourced reports that one or another of his aides had been spotted using cocaine. (IIRC, three aides were accused at different times, one of whom was immediately canned; one of the three accusations was thoroughly investigated at great expense to the target). One thing that irritates me about Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale is that they have never critiqued the conduct of the apex and center of the Democratic Party today, even though things are done which would never have been done 40 years ago. Lois Lerner and the IRS should have had Carter, both Bushes, Mondale, Quayle, and Cheney out of the woodwork demanding answers. There were at that time nine men living (eight of them still living) who had supervised the Treasury Department. There were another bloc of quondam Attorneys-general. What did any of these people have to say about that matter? Our elites stink.
A reminder that there are no red states in the world of school administration.

What’s interesting about this sort of thing is that no matter how many school districts get dragged through expensive litigation for gratuitous asininity, they keep doing it.
Art Deco.
After reviewing the link this passage entered my mind;
Douay-Rheims Bible
“Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.”
The adoption of the robber and repulsion of the healer is a perpetual drama. Timeless.
In a way it’s the separation of the chaff and the wheat. The decision is always ours.
Death Judgment Heaven Hell
The spirit of the robber is plentiful in our time.
Sad.
Al Gore didn’t take a bullet for the country. Al Gore was the bullet our country took.
Al Gore was the bullet our country took.
Al Gore? No, he was just a tiresome man who has decayed morally as he’s grown older. Confronted with an unusual situation in 2000, we got to have a look at his default settings, which are quite similar to the default settings of ordinary Democratic pols (which is to mix unscrupulous and self-serving behavior with striking the most asinine poses). Ca. 1987, the man seemed like an independent thinker in the Democratic caucus. A dozen years later, he was just another putz. His post-political career has been bizarre. For reasons not clear to me, this person who had zero background in business was able to hoover up huge amounts of cash from directorships and the like. I have no clue why the companies who puked money at him thought this a prudent or useful thing to do. On top of that, after 40 years of marriage, he and his wife announce they’re separating. (Three of their four children have been the meat-and-potatoes of divorce lawyers; the only exception is their son-with-a-drug-problem).
