Needs less Shane O'Neill & much more Lily Allen.

It may have been better back when the Senate was an actual legislative body.

There's usually a rack of shoes, but nothing that you'd trust on your feet.

To be fair, Target lost at least as many customers through bad product selection, stocking, & service as through anything political. 1,000 cheap t-shirts and no raincoats or decent shoes isn't a draw.

So in the end, "People often attribute to Orwell" is just the sad fact of the matter.

Paraphrasing Orwell in a 1942 essay discussing Kipling's Tommy, that is.
Geez, this gets long. I'm sure Noem's version is on Brainyquote or something.

Quote Origin: People Sleep Peacefully in Their Beds at Night Only Because Rough Men Stand Ready to Do Violence on Their Behalf โ€“ Quote Investigatorยฎ

That's slightly unfair to Grenier. He was paraphrasing Tommy - "As George Orwell pointed out, people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

Part of the reason she's getting fired is for excessive Kipling.

Of course it's not going to happen.
It's a way to shake some cash out of the private equity heaps by pretending to be considering it.

I'll check the transcript tomorrow to see what bonkers nonsense he says about China. After Stanley Cup & the 14th amendment, maybe something about termites?

He's on a China kick. They'll take away the Stanley Cup! They're hijacking the 14th Amendment!
Expect some China related gibberish.

This isn't a problem for Lutnick, it's a profit center. His company bought up a ton of rights.

Nobody pays the tariffs. They sue to get their stuff.
Customs goes berserk. Starts arresting & shooting each other.

I'm kind of enjoying it, but having a little trouble accepting that there's only 1 KGB agent, he's everywhere, & he's a psycho. Also, he flips back & forth between omniscient and really dumb.

Now that Channel 43 - serving Lorain and Cleveland - has left CW there's plenty of news for the 8 households that still use broadcast.
