They are lovely animals. Charles Darwin was impressed by the human qualities of an orangutan named Jenny: https://www.nationalgeograp...

(The Darwin-bio movie mentioned, "Creation," is well worth seeing.)

The Army is slowly unveiling its new WWII-inspired dress green uniforms. Skirts and pumps are optional (for women only) presumably so as not to offend Mike Pence ... or Trump.So... they want to look more like the Marines? Well, as a former USMC-R, can't say as I blame them.New Army: https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Oh, yeah, I know that, and you know that, but, for some reason, no one will ask the question of Trump or any of his many minions. I'm just curious to hear what they think I'll believe.

Knowing, of course, that they don't care if I believe it, as long as their base of Cletuses does.

My father was chief of psychiatry at a large hospital for many years. He saw One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and was quite emphatic in his disapproval. There is nothing funny about psycosis and other symptoms of mental disease.

That is absolutely fair, but the Nice Time here is that they are being cared for and trained for a life back in the forest where they truly belong.

As high-profile as this whole thing was, dropping the charges like they have certainly smells of the PD screwing up in a way that's pretty magnificent even by Chicago PD standards.

Remember how it looked like such a slam-dunk against Smollett a few weeks ago (those couple brothers whom Smollett allegedly hired to fake-attack him)? If there had been any truth to that, any whatsoever, prosecutors would have pursued it.
