It makes me think Ed Martin can’t recognize either a gentleman or a good prosecutor.
That led Pulte to encourage Trump to fire U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert
Jail Bill Pulte.
The media are rife with reports of various Democrats being accused of mortgage fraud. I gather declaring on a loan app a home being purchased as a “primary” residence is something a lot of borrowers treat loosely as to its actual status or intended use. It has to be a practice found among borrowers of every political persuasion, no? Yet it’s only Dems, in the main, that get pursued for it. Funny that.
“The qualities of a good prosecutor are as elusive and as impossible to define as those that mark a gentleman.”
As a contrapositive to the definition of pornography, we can definitely hold Ed Martin up as having all the qualities that mark NOT being a gentleman…
Out of curiosity, is that photo of her they keep using one of the publicity stills she used when she auditioned for Mean Girls?
And thus dies the worn out argument that members of the military will “refuse to carry out an illegal order.” Destroy a boat full of people without determining who they are or their cargo or purpose? Questionable even in times of war. In times of peace? A-okay??
Does this means he’ll form a squad to airbrush all those paintings of Confederate generals?
Will he quit drinking Fuzzy Navels?
I thought the very same thing, just 15 min later than you did. (That and a buck fifty might be enough to get me a carbonated beverage from a vending machine.)
So Pete says great soldiers cannot have facial hair.
I have to disagree.
Coopers hawk. iPhone photo and backlighted, but a hawk is a hawk of course of course!
I’ll clean it up later in Lightroom.
The former guy who will not be named here, who brought peace to seven wars, clearly can’t count. Based on his record, there may or may not have been a third boat. And on the same subject, boasting of law of the sea crimes doesn’t seem like a good idea.
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do…
Not sure how lonely a negative number can be.
The Corgi rescue, Jack, just graduated his first K9 training class. Smart as a whip. Next comes his tricks and agility class.
Paul Krugman is taking a break today. Here’s Heather:
That is one scary photo of Mrs. Kirk, no two ways about it.
Are Coopers hawks on the smallish side? I am pretty sure that one flew into one of our windows earlier this summer. It was not hurt but surprised me.

Bummer. Oh well.
What did they expect when they sold their company to Unilever?
That Unilever would hold to their promise to allow them to continue to do their advocacy?
Of course, they’ve been fighting with them since 2021, so…
“That independence existed in no small part because of the unique merger agreement Ben and I negotiated with Unilever,” he wrote in the letter.
A spokesperson for Magnum Ice Cream Company, Unilever’s ice cream unit, said that it “disagrees with Greenfield’s perspective and has sought to engage both co-founders in a constructive conversation on how to strengthen Ben & Jerry’s powerful values-based position in the world.”
Translation: We’ll tell you what to say.
“If Martin’s goal, as he’s publicly said before, is to name and shame, then he can continue to do that without ever bringing cases to trial.”
He’s got a ton of power, and a bottomless budget. No convictions? Hell, no indictments? No problem.
