Popcorn Futures Are Up

Crooks & Liars features a new CNN ad that is simple and effective.

The counter-punching Senators:

To be clear, John McCain doesn’t call Trump a draft-dodger. To paraphrase Francis Urquhart [original BBC House of Cards]: “You might well think that, [but he] couldn’t possibly comment.”

Then there is Sen. Bob Corker: ‘The President has great difficulty with the truth.’

And we finish with ‘I Will Not Be Complicit!’: Sen. Flake Brings Fire To Senate Floor In Retirement Speech.

If they really want to stop Trump, all they need to do is leave the current Republican caucus and shift to the Democrats. There would be a change of leadership and stalemate in Congress. Trump could be taught about separation of powers.

This Makes No Sense To Me

From the BBC – Iditarod race: Dallas Seavey named in doping scandal. The Iditarod Trail Committee is saying that several dogs on Dallas Seavey’s second place team tested positive for the painkiller Tramadol.

What would be the advantage of giving the dogs a pain killer? Tramadol can cause seizures, drowsiness, breathing issues, etc. in people and dogs. Everyone knows that the teams will be tested for drugs after they finish. Why would Dallas do something that would probably make his team slower and be detected?

The ITC didn’t ban him, but Dallas said he wouldn’t be running in next year’s race. He is not a happy musher. His Dad, Mitch, beat him in this year’s race, and the Tramadol might be the reason.
