I woke up today to a few assorted, interesting tidbits.

First, there was the ABC guest in Mark Dice's latest who said that what the Democrats needed from Robert Mueller was "storytelling" and "emotional impact"-- note: not "facts and reason". He goes on to say, "If you want to look at it from the macro standpoint, impeachment..." It really tells you everything you need to know: it was an emotionally-driven witch hunt with a pre-defined verdict right from the start, with the only objective-- the "macro"-- being "impeachment", no matter what the facts may say; the only possible deficiency would be in "storytelling".

Second and sticking with politics, it sounds like Boris is off to a good start. Leftists should-- but won't-- take note that Conservatives are the true adherents to Martin Luther King Jr's "color blindness", appointing "minority women" and Muslims to key positions not because of those facts, but simply where they are the most qualified candidates.

Third, I've certainly been frustrated with some of Lotito's mistakes in the past, but I wouldn't trust anyone else in the world with the stewardship of the club at this point: slow and steady wins the race. What's most impressive about him though is how much he's improved and learned over his fifteen years in charge; here he is discussing how important it is to keep the players happy-- where was that wisdom back in the "freezing out" days of people like Ledesma? But it's sure here now.
