“I don’t quite understand how we can be paying people who aren’t on the payroll or paying an invoice without checking it and how we can have care being delivered and not know they are under-delivering,” [said a Kent County councillor].
And besides, the brain parasite is dead.
Howl, howl, howl, howl! O you are a bad puppy!
As for your tongue, and eyes, I shoot them so,

Folsom Prison Blues by Kristi
When I was just a baby,
my mama told me, “Kris,
don’t ever kill a puppy
your daughter’s gonna miss.”
But I shot a dog named Cricket
just to watch her die.
When that didn’t cure my bloodlust,
I gave the goat a try.
Nice. Another one would be

Gov. Kristi Noem blames ghostwriter, editor
for ‘small errors’ in upcoming book

Noem statement via Fox News:
“They attacked me. And it was a hard decision. It was a choice between keeping my small children and other people safe, or a dangerous editor, and I chose the safety of my children. And South Dakota law states that ghostwriters who make errors can be put down.”
Idaho is mainly in the news lately for the collapse of its statewide ob/gyn facilities; but the Western Theocratic Territory commands attention for many other reasons. Heerespfarrer Yenor, for instance, inspires that state’s Christian nationalists from his academic appointment at Boise State, an actual university (though largely a jockshop), and this startles the Guardian newspaper.
I mean, the Guardian‘s startled that a respectable academic institition lends its reputation to a man whose howls about liberty, women, free thought, and other abominations I will not share here because obscenity laws forbid it.
Nobody’s startled by the bad boys hiding out in the brush outside of Boise, but, well, a professor.

Candace Owens’ theory that Brigitte Macron is actually her own brother recalls Buck Mulligan telling his British lodger about Stephen’s theory of Hamlet.
“He proves by algebra that Hamlet’s grandson is Shakespeare’s grandfather and that he himself is the ghost of his own father.“

Owens is a fanatic Evangelical, which leads me to this godly cosmic convergence: Sex addict, voyeur, alcoholic, fraudster, Falwell Jr introduces her as an honored speaker at a Liberty University convocation.
The two of them together! There’s so much – intellectually, morally, spiritually – for Liberty students to be proud of.
Don’t miss her delight at “the gift of Kanye West,” another great Christian.

I’ve been covering campus fraud for a long time; and if you’re lucky enough to be at NYU in a position of real financial responsibility, you should be able to steal at least ten million dollars if you simply put your mind to it.
Alvin Bragg seems to agree, because his office let a finance director at that university who managed to peel off only three million get off with probation plus a teeny weeny restitution.
