Yesterday, I learned from Steve Schmidt a word which is new to me – “capitulant.” I had to look it up to see whether it existed, and it does (although auto-corrupt doesn’t believe it LOL). But it is actually a noun designating a person or group who capitulate. It appears in Steve’s title that he is using it as an adjective. I don’t know why he didn’t just say “capitulating” instead. Also, I don’t know why so many people are losing their minds afbout the Smith report saying “evidence sufficient to convict.” The first rule of being a prosecutor is “if you don’t have sufficient evidence toc convict, don’t indict.” And Smith is an experienced prosecutor and a good one. From the moment he issued an indictment it should have been obvious that he had the evidence. And also, since apparently our pictures are going to keep getting stretched, I am trying out today using a squished version of our logo and see whether it stretches into something more normal. Since I forgot to put up all our authors pictures in December anyway, if it does, I’ll squish those and put them in on January 31 this year also. (And this time I’ll put that on my calendar.) Also, it appears that a ceasefire agreement has been reached in Gaza. That is a big deal, and it came out mid-afternoon, so y’all probably are already aware of it. But just in case anyone missed it.
This is the Wonkette article from which I posted a link to a graphic from yesterday. I said then it was packed with information, and I was not just whistling Dixie. You may prefer to save or bookmark it and digest it slowly than attempt to react to it right away.
So – Why Greenland? Crooks & Liars has the bottom line – and that’s what it essentially is – the bottom line. We may need to resist this one more loudly before we wake up one day to find that the Apricot Antichrist has invaded with no advance notice.
