Bridgegate: Guilty!

A federal jury convicted two former allies of Gov. Chris Christie on Friday of all charges stemming from a bizarre scheme to close access lanes at the George Washington Bridge to punish a New Jersey mayor who declined to endorse the governor’s re-election.
A lot of people still wonder why Christie himself wasn't tried. The story contains the prosecutor's reasons, but whether or not you'll find them convincing is up to you.

A recent vet visit for Chip turned into Bring Your Cat to Work Day, when I had to return to finish up some stuff.

Stephen Samuelovich Segalov

Actor Steven Seagal's love for martial arts just helped him become a Russian citizen.

The "Under Siege" star was awarded Russian citizenship on Thursday after spending years accompanying pal Vladimir Putin to martial arts events and publically praising his presidential policies.
Paving the way for The Donald, perhaps?

Braking Brexit?

Parliament must vote on whether the UK can start the process of leaving the EU, the High Court has ruled.

This means the government cannot trigger Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty - beginning formal discussions with the EU - on their own.

Theresa May says the referendum - and existing ministerial powers - mean MPs do not need to vote, but campaigners called this unconstitutional.

The government is appealing, with a further hearing expected next month.
The ruling ratifies the view of those who were saying that the Brexit referendum was advisory only. What the court is telling the MPs to "do yer bloody jobs." The conventional view was that the politicians thought Brexit was folly. The interesting question is whether or not Parliament will have the spine to do anything.

I'll bet "no".

Shorter Coz': "Blind Rapists Get a Free Pass!"

Bill Cosby's eyesight has deteriorated to the point where he cannot identify his accusers in photographs or otherwise help with his defense, his lawyers said Wednesday as they waged a multipronged effort to get the sexual assault case against the 79-year-old comedian thrown out.
Good luck with that one.

Donald the Alleged Child Molester

Don't worry.

Even though he's been accused by hordes of women of assaulting/molesting them and he is facing civil charges of raping a child, and the vic is now speaking out, to the Trumpers, that's small potatoes compared to Clinton's emails.

(No doubt that James Comey will insinuate that Hillary roofied the kid for Donald.)

The Stars Align

Between court hearings and personal travel, I won't be able to either pay much attention to the news or blog about it until sometime next week (likely, after everything is over but the shooting).

Can't say that I'm sad about that. My state is not in play for the presidency, but for everything else, I am getting to the point that if I could sign off on an order to drown most of those clowns running political ads, I'd do it in a picosecond. About the only channels that I can watch that doesn't run those ads are PBS and the Weather Channel.

Speaking of PBS, Nature is running a two-part show on the evolution of cats. The first episode is tonight.

Stay Classy, Trumpers

Authorities investigating a historically black church burned Tuesday night in Greenville also found "Vote Trump" spraypainted on the side.

The FBI has been notified of the burning of the Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church.

“The FBI Jackson Division is aware of the situation in Greenville, and we are working with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners to determine if any civil rights crimes were committed,” said spokesman Brett Carr.

Hype and Bullshit; Gunnie Ed

After hyping the shit out of its new "Saint", turns out the gun is pretty much just another AR-15: A gun that can be made by anyone with an Internet account for ordering parts. Because the world needs another gun of a type that is already made by damn near every gun company on the planet, including Bubba's Guns and Kwik-Lube in West Fucking Jesus, Texas.
