(DR. Anthony Fauci (L) and that Institute Currently In The News (CITN) (R). Did you follow this one yesterday? A career CIA analyst was trundled up in front of a Congressional panel to see if Doctor Tony Fauci participated in a cover-up of laboratory work he had funded at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in […]

This is an attempt to resurrect a fellow who may or may not be alive today. We are pretty sure the guy who drew the original pencil portrait at Naval Air Station Bunker Hill in Spring of 1944. It was in a sheaf of drawings he did of someof the young men who were preparing […]

Don’t get us wrong. We were comfortable with the President’s brief remarks this morning disparaging the Iranian response to his offerings of peace from late last week. He says the Cease-Fire in the conflict is on life support, and wonders what it will take to bring the lunatics to an agreement. Which according to the […]

“Hi! I don’t know how it got to be the heart of the cooking hour this soon after lunch, but that is the way things go around here.” Deirdre put down her spatula with a thump on the counter. “I am supposed to do something like a good will gesture that the Chairman can take […]

A Legend Leaves, Descano and Lucas in Litigation If you have a moment, just try to understand some of the chaos being described on all the messaging streams. The Iranians apparently have now reached the point we mentioned not quite two weeks ago. An Iranian oil guy let slip the fact that they are aware […]

How did you do today? We only got through yesterday after than ten PM last night when the new stuff started pouring in from over there. We saw some interesting stuff this morning as the sun was rising here and Tehran was resting up over lunch. Word at this moment, midnight over there, means some […]

Vic is off to the hospital this morning, and we decided to cook up a batch of Swedish Meatballs to have on his return. He thinks it may be sausage biscuits, but we like a surprised Vic when we can coax one out. The other thing is that one energetic preparation can yield enough for […]

“Hi! Don’t start with me this morning. You know what this is, the most surreal of our unofficial national holidays.” “We celebrate a battle fought elsewhere by people who do not pay a great deal of attention to it. We commemmorate the day by drinking to forget. Sort of. It is the Fifth of May, […]
