Hoping Lyn Wood gets the sanctions he earned - up to and including criminal prosecution - for posting Kraken Lady's rant from the Federal District court proceeding in Detroit this Monday past. The court website says, in Bold and ALLCAPS when you log on, that recording the hearing or any part thereof is illegal. Impossible to not know you can't record or post any of it. The sanction for Wood should be professionally painful. Also, fuck that guy.

As Republicans used to tell me, if he’s done nothing wrong why should he be worried about an investigation?

Maybe they could release it in weekly installments, with a little cliffhanger at the end of each week: "Will there be MORE heinous behavior revealed?? Tune in next week!"

Re: Cuba: (Disclaimer: I have no evidence thus far to support this hypothesis, but...)Does anyone else detect the reek of the rotting corpses of Zombies Milton Friedman, Hayek, Pinochet, and Dick Nixon wafting across the landscape--perhaps reanimated in the persons of Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, et al?
