You should’ve sat in on when my Uncle Ray was over for after Sunday dinner Scrabble games. He could come up with words that would’ve had Norm Crosby scratchin’ his head. My Dad always had a Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary handy for such occasions. The arguments that ensued should’ve been on Ed Sullivan later that night.

If you believe a word that comes out of a midwestern Christian’s mouth you’re a fool. There are many ways to “bear false witness” and Pence is up to one right here. I’m a lifelong atheist but have more Christian in me than this mother fucker ever came near.

I don’t know what it is about Scrabble. Last time I played, these two sixtysomething women, one a writer and the other an editor, almost got in a fistfight over the scoring.

The ass-kissing events yesterday were fascinating. I kept thinking of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Et tu, Orine?
Caesar was scheduled to leave Rome to fight in a war on March 18 and had appointed loyal members of his army to rule the Empire in his absence. The Republican senators, already chafing at having to abide by Caesar’s decrees, were particularly angry about the prospect of taking orders from Caesar’s underlings. Cassius Longinus started the plot against the dictator, quickly getting his brother-in-law Marcus Brutus to join.
Caesar should have been well aware that many of the senators hated him, but he dismissed his security force not long before his assassination. Reportedly, Caesar was handed a warning note as he entered the senate meeting that day but did not read it. After he entered the hall, Caesar was surrounded by senators holding daggers. Servilius Casca struck the first blow, hitting Caesar in the neck and drawing blood. The other senators all joined in, stabbing him repeatedly about the head.

He’d rather have the prosecutors who botched the Bag-of-Dicks Bundy trials.
Thanks but oddball words are one of the few things I’ve got enough of.
Especially the ones who only ever quote the Old Testament.

Julius C. is an interesting comparison. You go around threatening the established order, you’re going to make a lot of enemies.

Why doesn’t he just plead the Fifth?
Pence knows he has lied enough to Mueller that he’s just not gonna touch that turd question.

My favorite Scrabble games are when a nine year old beats the family’s most irritating Grammar Sheriff, by consistently posting words like dog and sit, instead of holding out for the second e in “exquisite”

Between Pence and Orrin Hatch I am not sure WHICH one disgusts me most with their un-American, unpatriotic fawning over of Donald Trump. Truly. It as if they WANT a dictator in the US and they don’t care who knows it.

If “investigation” of Agent Strozek
is in order because of his supposed “bias” towards HRC, then why not poll all FBI agents for their “bias” for trum and republicans?
