He owned up, unlike all the other unreconstructed gargoyles of the Nixon administration. He's spent quite a bit of energy and time over the years fending off the efforts of the right-wing to spin Watergate as a minor fuss that was blown out of proportion by liebruls.

Got a major haul as Batboy and Mommy Witch. A neighbor was giving out jello shots for parents. I love my neighborhood.

Not a single trick or treater 'round theses parts tonight. I think all the Trump/Pence yard signs (in the neighborhood, not my yard) scared 'em away. I know the scare me.

Batboy! Awesome! And great neighbors. When we used to get kids and parents around, I'd make 'Adult Jello' in this cool brain mold I have, and offer a slice to the parents. Tasty and potent. :D

looks like he said "get me something that looks like it might have been an early Grant Wood . . . but don't pay more than $7.99 . . . and that includes the frame!

Most panic inducing Halloween decorations ever. Then again, those people probably don't even want to see a bunch of kids coming around looking for free candy! Little Takers! GET A JOB!

I wish I could've gone back for seconds, but speaking to adults in person is HARRRRRD.

On August 9th, 1974, surgery was performed. It was not fully successful. The immediate danger was removed, but a month later a really stupid, partisan person decided that the actual rule of law was more dangerous than a malignant tumor, and as a result we had a shitty grade Z movie star and a deserting coward subsequently given the keys to the country.

The actual convictions for Watergate were, as I recall:- conspiracy- obstruction of justice- perjury

As far as I can tell, like Bill decades before her, HRC and her coterie aren't really even *disputing* that those are true ... just that they're inconsequential.

Personally, I find it amusing that the HRC campaign (& hangers-on) are relying on the intellectual defense composed by the same convicted felon who was the legal advisor to Nixon during the commission of the Watergate crimes. #notsuperbrilliantmove

My friend hands out beers. Everybody loves her. Jello shots, though. That's a nice touch.
