I don't know, but clearly there is a severe shortage of virgins blood for her to bathe in!

I'm not even sure they form a goal anymore.

Unless otherwise proven, I believe that Mueller can operate an umbrella, speak in complete sentences, spell hamburger correctly, walk a few feet and not need a golf cart and is aware that islands are surrounded by a lot of water.

I'm a professor (hard to believe, actually) and we get all sorts of "help" from people who layout how to "facilitate learning," since I'm not a professor or teacher, you see, but a "learning facilitator." Right. Welcome to my world.

Anyhow, one time I had to share some of my l"earning facilitation techniques" at a meeting I was required to attend under threat of death. I do this thing I call "burping a class." I make sure to plan a slight diversion every fifteen to twenty minutes--jokes, stories, non sequiturs--that last about a minute, involve back and fort with a few students, and then let me segue to the next thing. It improves the general mood and keeps things light.

Relevance here: I'm dealing primarily with first and second year college students, mostly in their early twenties. They haven't learned deep concentration at a high level yet. The Mueller testimony was given in FUCKING CONGRESS. He actually testified that based on the current record he would indict a sitting president but for the fucking OLC memo. That is, Mueller testified that he thinks the president should be prosecuted for felonies except there's a technical exception based on an untested legal memo that sets policy for the DOJ.

BUT MUELLER HAS SAGGY EYEBROWS! Fuck this shit. I keep trying to cut back on booze but the travesty simply expands and intensifies. My wife wonders why I keep retreating to my encyclopedia of horror films.

BTW I just read about "Jonathan--Vampiren Sterben Nicht," which has a Hitler-lookalike Count with blackshirted associates who terrorizesa village. Check out the trailer, which is really more like the whole movie cut down to three minutes:

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug.

To be honest, there is a certain Cruella De Ville meets skeletor vibe going on. While I envy her thinness, it does not help your face age well. She's lost her fat pads. Facial fat pads help us look young. They naturally deplete as we age. My stepmonster is an oompa loompa but at 70 her face could pass for 50. Fillers would help KellyAnne enormously. She could afford the best of the best to get a refreshed natural look. Also a stylist to tell her to stop being so aggressive with the streaks of blush that only highlight her deep lines and facial sagging. Meow. I'm retracting claws now. I'm both delighted with and ashamed of myself. If you can't say something nice, come sit by me.
