... it's a timeless place.
Hey, think about using the Althouse Portal to Amazon. Here's something I just bought — a NutriBullet. Love it. Why not put frozen spinach and kale in your mango/banana/blueberry smoothies? It's so much less boring than eating salad.

Looks like Brennan is the chosen fall guy. Wonder if he’s willing to fall on his sword for Obama?
obnubilatte
Conrad black was pardoned today for the travesty of justice, that fitz wrought against him, protecting David radler and not touching other figures of the hollinger board
Michael Cohen is in jail
Michael Avennati is going to jail
William Barr is AG
Donald Trump is President
Hillary is not President
Mueller is done
Summer is near
Life is good.
Back in the 70s, a friend blended broccoli and strawberries and other stuff. Tasted pretty good.
"Looks like Brennan is the chosen fall guy."
No, no. Walter Brennan for best friend. Elisha Cook for fall guy.
The Conrad Black pardon is justice delayed. Justice, but delayed too long. Obama should have pardoned him.

Senator Graham & his ilk bear responsibility for damage being done to our national interests—at home & abroad—by acquiescing to Mr. Trump’s incompetence, corruption, & malevolence. Who will shun political expedience & do what is right? “Who among you is wise and understanding?”

Oh, John: all the weaponized assets you sent my way [Joseph Mifsud, Alexander Downer, Stefan Halper] are all being outed from London, Rome and Canberra. Those governments are now actively cooperating with the Trump administration and have flipped on you. Your role will be exposed

I am still waiting for news of some prosecutor going after the universities in these bribery cases. There has to at least be something about breach of public trust, etc., they can use.
Hillary is not President
Mueller is done

Obama spied, Clinton colluded, DNC denied, and WaPo et al carried out a multi-trimester cover-up.
Spouse makes us smoothies and salad for lunch. Not sure of all the ingredients in the smoothies, but I know it includes bananas, almond milk, flax, and protein mix. Dumps flax in the salad also. She's big on flax.
Looks like Brennan is the chosen fall guy.
I'm seeing a whole lot of finger-pointing as well. I'll bet a couple of these guys have an involuntary suicide in their future.
Whatever happened to that Paki twerp that seemed to own DWS, and her email?

Beautiful.
STA Team 6 this is Fenris Actual. Stand down. I say again, stand down. Over...
A film about an epic battle in Indian history in 1897.
It cant be just me that has noticed the marked decrease in quality of posts from our far left Althousians LLR Chuck, HoaxPPT, Freder et al in the wake of the utter and complete collapse of their years long running lie-filled collusion narratives...with the focus now on the exposure of the coup plotters and enablers.
Suddenly, as if on cue (wink wink) the entirety of the Dems/Left/LLR-left have shifted their talking points to decrying investigations and attacking the New DOJ leadership.
Its as if history began 15 minutes ago for our moronic LLR and lefty "contributors"....
About to hear a concert of Baroque trios etc. Nine composers (only two of whom I 'know'), the earliest born in 1595 and the last surviving, Antonio Caldara, died in 1736. The university remains good for some things.
I have a relative who owns a NutriBullet and it is her custom to make carrot juice early in the morning so she can go back to bed and sip the delicious beverage in bed while she really wakes up. When I visit, we meet before dawn because I'm making coffee at the same time so I can go back to bed and sip the delicious etc. She grinds, I grind and drip; we finish and move off still speechless. As we move off, she likes to suddenly pass the carrot juice under my nose or pretend to be about to pour it in my coffee. So I've always regarded NutriBullet as a health hazard. The End
Smoothies are for losers.
Eat a real meal with friends, or eat a real meal alone, or fast from food, but don't indulge in smoothies.
Smoothies gross me out.
Look, you can do what you want to do and disregard random advice from people you have never met on the internet.
But give a moment's thought to this:
Seriously, smoothies are like biological defeat in a glass. Smoothies are for people who do not seek to be outstanding at any endeavor. Even if what you want to be in life is a cat lady who is loved by her cats, smoothies are going to make it harder for you to be that Platonic ideal of a cat lady that your cats want you to be.

I read Papadopolis' book yesterday and was so enraged I could not get to sleep. I'm suggesting my FBI daughter read it.
Inga and Chuck, of course are not interested.
Downer was described in the book as "morbidly obese." I wonder how he will do in prison? Of course, Australia , especially Victoria which has been having blackouts, will not be interested.
If Trump did nothing else, he's torn the curtain off, and exposed all these fake "Wizards" of intelligence.
Like many people, I just assumed the FBI, CIA, DoD, were staffed by high-quality, patriotic, non-partisan Americans.
Now, we know different. You have to wonder what creeps and weirdos Biden or Bernie would put in our Intelligence agencies and FBI if they won in 2021. Would they even care about the USA? You have to wonder after Obama put John "I'm a Commie - turned Muslim" Brennan in the CIA.
The Conrad Black pardon is justice delayed.
Black says he will never place himself in any jurisdiction controlled by the US. Same prosecutor as the one who went after Scooter Libby. The people who sued Black and accused him of "unjust enrichment" lost their shirts. Could not have happened to a nicer bunch.
Also,excessive LED light is really really bad for young people because they are going to build up a lifetime of harm, little by little, to their retinas
It is ok I guess for old people like me, because we had decades and decades without any LED light, thank God
Like, when I was 20, they said if I started smoking I would lose 8 years of life.
So now, decades later, if I start smoking, I will lose 1 or 2 years of life. And not good years, from a biological point of view - like the last 2 years, after 8 decades or 9 decades, were going to be all that good anyway .... look into your heart and think about it .....
So, smoothies and LED light gross me out. Old people happily smoking tobacco or vintage weed do not gross me out.
"Smoothies are for losers."
He's baaack! Good night!
Michael K at 9:30 - correct.
Humperdink - you might want to think over your decision to be a mean-spirited commenter.
Just saying that for your own good, I do not care if you hate me for having tried to connect with people.
Like many people, I just assumed the FBI, CIA, DoD, were staffed by high-quality, patriotic, non-partisan Americans.
It's like the clock striking '13'. You know it's wrong and it calls all the previous readings into question.
How far back does this stuff go? We know that the CIA did a political Iran report to keep Bush II from doing anything about Iran. That was the first time I noticed it, but I'll bet the rot runs decades back. And I'll bet that the Trump campaign was for sure not the first time the Obama admin sicced the agencies on an opponent. (Say, there is that odd Roberts reversal on O-care..)
Well for starters LBJ sent Howard hunt to spy on goldwater.
Not to mention J. Edgar......
That was Paul wrong way pillar, he apparently used one single source a revolutionary guard general who may have given the order to kill Robert Ames, so mmnaturally the company and the firm recruited him.
did podesta have andrew kauders pay ina kirsch (European Centre for a Modern Ukraine) to hire Manafort to be a lobbyist then insert him into the Trump team?

The Political History of Obnubilate
The meaning of obnubilate becomes clearer when you know that its ancestors are the Latin terms ob- (meaning "in the way") and nubes ("cloud"). It's a high-flown sounding word, which may be why it often turns up in texts by and about politicians. This has been true for a long time. In fact, when the U.S. Constitution was up for ratification, 18th-century Pennsylvania statesman James Wilson used obnubilate to calm fears that the president would have too much power: "Our first executive magistrate is not obnubilated behind the mysterious obscurity of counsellors…. He is the dignified, but accountable magistrate of a free and great people"
History and Etymology for obnubilate
Latin obnubilatus, past participle of obnubilare, from ob- in the way + nubilare to be cloudy, from nubilus cloudy, from nubes cloud
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Truth be told, I don't have any grand-kids.....yet. So, I end up posting stupid dog photos on-line. Yes, the dog in the avatar.
I posted another picture of my dog....Casper.....on May 9th, and by May 15th, FB had produced an ensemble of Casper pictures. They're doing facial recognition on DOGS!! I understand the HOW-they-do-this shit, but I can't fathom the WHY!!
Let me stand Moore's Law on it's head. Next year, they will be able to recognize dog photos in just three days!!
This is how you get more Trump!!
And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
Just leave me to despair
Wonderful revealing day and ditto Bay Area Guy at 8:34, so refreshing!
I would hope Obama is embarrassed every time Brennan tweets for having appointed this guy to such a powerful and sensitive position. But he’s exactly the kind of guy a protoge of Bill Ayers would appoint to the job.
"Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?" AG Barr to Nancy Pelosi. He's such a card. Love it.
"Massachusetts House votes to ban handheld cellphone use while driving"
They banned texting while driving years ago but I guess that didn't work in reducing accidents and DEATHs, enough, so now this. There aren't enough police on the roads to enforce the ban. Take a look around at fellow drivers, at intersections, on the highway, stopped at lights, and you will see plenty of phone use.
Sure does feel good to pass common sense phone use legislation though.
Glorious spring day predicted for today. All the cold, wet, and gray days of the past month or so will make today that much more special and enjoyable.
Red Sox won in walk-off fashion, are just above .500. Bruins have a chance to close our Carolina tonight.
I love this time of year.
The longshoremen’s unions practically control shipping and act as a huge tax on the world economy because if there is a strike at one port, every other port in the world will honor that strike so the strikes can’t be broken. It looks like the intelligence agencies were trying to cook up a similar deal of asserting political control and veto power over their respective “democracies."

Canada has this whole “fake news” issue sorted!
The department suggested details of the program have been finalized by cabinet, but remain unannounced. “We’re not in a position to talk about specific news organizations,” said Director General Leblanc.
“What frightens me about some of these things is there are a lot of assumptions and you’re not willing to provide us with hard facts,” said Senator Nicole Eaton (Conservative-Ont.)
It is reported that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will enter the race for the Democrat nomination for president today. Probably to early for this but I think we should all document our predictions of which will leave the race for the nomination and when. At twenty something entrants I'll need a little help to list them all.
It’s like startups. You have to look at capitalization + (donations - money burned) * time. Over time the position in the polls will start to affect donations and people like Granny Warren or Hottie GIllibrand will be forced to drop out.
You also have to look at it like match play in golf, but in lanes.
Buttiglug has nudged out Beto in the cute guy lane, because Beto’s not gay, and he also stepped in front of Spartacus. (Tony Curtis was gay too, I think.)
Warren can’t compete with Bernie in the free stuff free stuff free stuff lane
Gillibrand has been owned in the “hot chick” lane by Kamala Harris, and let’s face it, black women age better than white chicks.
Biden has the Hillary lane wide open because she’s toxic and has proven herself unfit for the job by her whining.
So I think you have to do brackets, like March Madness.
de Blasio is sort of like John Daly. He will ride the golf cart of being mayor of NYC but won’t make the cut even if they let him hit off the ladies’ tees.
So after last Sunday, where is Daenerys on the "crazy/hot" graph?
We use it to get our daughter to eat her vegetables. It isn't as effective as we'd hoped because of the color. The smoothies may taste great, but thety're still green.
@JackWayne (9:14), I read an article to the effect that Mayor Pete was very unpopular with black residents in South Bend. Something about the burden of his urban renewal program falling mainly on poor black families. Then his campaign caught fire and there was no more in the media about any problems the poor black residents of South Bend had with their photogenic mayor.
But the Democrats can’t stop blacks from talking to other blacks. Not yet, anyway.
Does anyone know of a good even-handed summary of the Conrad Black case? He says he was railroaded and at least one juror has (sort of) admitted that she voted to convict because she didn't like him, but rich guys don't usually get railroaded.
It's hard to believe that Canada's answer to Rupert Murdoch couldn't buy justice.
DIL makes her smoothies with a heavy dose of kale. Besides the fact it looks strikingly like baby food, the taste is lacking.
I'm seeing a whole lot of finger-pointing as well. I'll bet a couple of these guys have an involuntary suicide in their future.
Suicide from multiple gunshot wounds to the back of the head.
I think it’s Harris vs Biden, if I were to put down money right now. Harris will get the etch-a-sketch shaking that Romney never got.
Best video I've seen in quite awhile. A teachable moment for a snowflake. The policeman was outstanding.

tim maguire this is by Black himself, but it’s a pretty good summary: https://amgreatness.com/2019/05/15/a-full-presidential-pardon/. I followed this with interest/horror; it was an eye-opening early iteration of the process crimes prosecutions we’ve all become so familiar with. Not surprisingly, Fitzgerald-Comey-Mueller have their slimy fingerprints all over ot.
Thanks robinintn. I saw that one and I'm not saying it's not accurate. I'd just like to hear from someone not so directly concerned.
@Humperdinck, wait until she reads employment applications that ask if the applicant has ever been arrested.
Suicide from multiple gunshot wounds to the back of the head.
Or a scalpel wielded (the leading cause of quasi-legal homicide), perhaps during a robbery gone awry.
Conrad black was indicted on honest services violation, the same thing they went after the Steven's his real crime was to be pro American and pro west, they divested hollinger and under breeden a fmr sec chief they sold off parts devastated the sun times,
Handed the telegraph to the piranha bros (who were involved subsequently in investments with Qatar, where Wilmer Pickering was involved.
The funniest piece I've read in the Guardian recently was published the other day reporting on the lamenting and wailing and gnashing of teeth by parents who named their daughters 'Khaleesi' back when what's her name was one of the good guys: now it turns out (so I'm informed) that she is really one of the bad ones and the poor children are saddled with names that are vague analogues of 'Hitler'.
At twenty something entrants I'll need a little help to list them all.
Chris Plant on WMAL this morning had a good point - most of these entries are about scoring campaign cash they get to keep after theY step out. And increasing their speaking fees now that they can be introduced as "Former Presidential Candidate..."
You know those days were you think your analysis is spot on and then someone swings through and you say "aw fuck, how did I miss that?" That's my morning so far, 0 for 3.
Does anyone know of a good even-handed summary of the Conrad Black case?
He has a good book about it. He wrote it, of course. The Supremes reversed all remaining convictions but sent it back the appeals court. Posner reinstated two counts and the woman judge sentenced him to more time.
Well, today is self-flagellation day. Spinach and Kale is for Friday!

'...Downer was described in the [Papadopolis] book as "morbidly obese."'
The photos of Stephan Harper also fit that description.
Although fat shaming is politically incorrect, Metabolic Syndrome is associated with serious health problems.
So, it's OK to talk about it.
