Fuck. I was going to start The Pickwick Chronicles, but this is lightyears beyond that.

Edit: Spiderwick. You'd be surprised how many times I've done that.

Fucking Dickens.

i turned off spiderwick chronicles and flounced off in a huff b/c an animal was involved.

won't go back either. YA books haven't earned game of thrones plot turns.

There was an indie record label in the 70's and 80's called Stiff Records. Ian Dury and the Blockheads were on them.

They slogan was: If It Ain't Stiff, It Ain't Worth A Fuck.

Just a reminder that today is Judge Merchan's day to run mental health court where he works with the mentally ill to help them dig out of their difficulties. By all accounts he is a kind and caring and occasionally stern guide for those that come before him. This is also for him a one day respite from the bat shit craziness he has to deal with the rest of this week.

Mental Health Court is his weekly refuge of sanity, I guess.

I find it another sign of the acceptability of misandry that his name is mocked like this.

I can't imagine our PC, woke culture would see anything funny if his name were David Vagina.

But what if it were David Vajayjay?

Oh, I can.

"David Pecker? Don't know him. I think he used to be a coffee boy or something, but no. I've never met the guy."

Recent revival of courtroom sketches prompts me to suggest “Illustrating History for NBC News”, an autobiographical compilation of anecdotes and art from Betty Wells, who was the best of the breed -

and the only one of her era permitted to sketch SCOTUS. Her late husband was a neighborhood Dr. and we kept in touch during her later years. Today’s artists would do well to study her remarkable work, which covered all manner of current events and has become legendary among her peers. The book, available on Amazon, makes a great gift and the vig goes to Wonkette…a win-win!

"The DA isn’t seeking jail (BOOOOOO)"

Hay you guyzes! Remember that cool movie, "The Blob", and how every time the Blob ate somebody, or did something else bad, and nothing bad happened to him, he got just a LITTLE bit bigger and stronger?

Yeah.

Interesting bit of trivia:

One of the courtroom artists has been sketching Stinky at various moments throughout the last week, and she said that yesterday, he was sleeping in court as usual -- arms folded, head down, eyes closed, etc. -- but that the SECOND the name "Karen McDougall" came out of Pecker's mouth, Stinky woke up in one hell of a hurry.

Oh my my my. The steam coming out of Trump's ears by now could probably cook carrots.

(Mmmmm, steamed carrots.)

What I want to know is, Trump's position still is that he never had sex with Stormy, and anyone who says he did is a lying liar who lies, correct? So is his lawyer going to accuse Pecker of making the whole thing up?

And if so, to attack Pecker's credibility, is Trump's lawyer going to bring up...some of the more preposterous "stories" that the Enquirer has run through the years? Like, say...claiming that Ben Carson left a sponge in someone's brain?

Talk about delicious irony.

Yes, I saw the National Enquirer's covers. I did not read the paper, however.

I was a Weekly World News man.

Anyone that wants to Google "Ben Carson medical malpractice" can give themselves an evening's entertainment quite easily.

(Spoiler, every time he's asked directly "Ben have you ever left a sponge in someone's brain?" he has a rotating set of answers and oddly enough none of them are "No, I have not.")

The old Dr. Demento standard comes to mind:

::runs in late and out of breath::

Hay, you guyzes! Has anyone made the joke yet about how Pecker changed his last name; it used to be "Uranus"?

Expand full comment

If he'd changed his first name to Richard, his engagement announcement could have been "Dick Pecker - Kitty Kuntz".

I love thinking of Ted Cruz right now. Being informed in no uncertain terms that trump attacked him thru the National Enquirer and they were just making shit up. A normal person would complain, and call trump a gross sack of shit. But not Cruz. He needs to continue sucking his dick and smiling. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'm pretty sure Ted of the Great North just loves the humiliation.

I love how the sketch artist portrayed Pecker as if he was fellating the microphone.

Gotta get in the practice when you can…

“Hillary was running, and there was Bill Clinton's womanizing, which she enabled." Way to go you misogynistic a-holes. It's always the woman's fault that a man can't keep his pecker in his pants. And speaking of Peckers, I know that the DA's office declined to give a list of witnesses names for the first day but I am guessing that PAB is not happy with this development.

PAB may never be happy again for another moment for the rest of his life, at the rate things are going.

Ya hate to see it.

Funny thing. I'm good with it.
