But first, a brief note on yesterday's post. Scotch whiskeys can taste very different from each other, as can wines. (The process of making scotch involves smoking the barley malt over a peat fire, which gives room for enormous variation.) You certainly might like one more than another, and if the one you happen to like isn't the cheapest, so be it. But more expensive is not equal to objectively better, and professionals can't tell cheap from expensive in blindfold tests. Also worth noting that blended whiskeys aren't inherently inferior, on the contrary they can be consistent from year to year, which is an inherent reason to prefer them, actually.
It's hard to believe that Faux News actually imposed restraints on their highly rated talking heads, but apparently they did. Now that the TV dinner heir has struck out on his own, he's gone full bore batshit wacko. (Linking to Pharyngula because the original WaPo report is paywalled.) I mean, he always was, but only in the service of Dear Leader. Now he's just spewing random delusions. I do actually think that the question of how Jeffrey Epstein got obscenely wealthy is interesting and I am suspicious that it hasn't been sufficiently investigated, along with the many prominent men upon whom suspicion has fallen regarding his sex trafficking enterprise. But as far as that goes all we can do is speculate. What we can't speculate about, however, is this:
Yesterday, for example, a former Air Force officer who worked for years in military intelligence came forward as a whistleblower to reveal that the U.S. government has physical evidence of crashed, non-human-made aircraft, as well as the bodies of the pilots who flew those aircraft.
…
It was clear he was telling the truth. In other words, UFOs are actually real and apparently so is extraterrestrial life. Now we know. In a normal country, this news would qualify as a bombshell, the story of the millennium. But in our country, it doesn’t.
I shouldn't have to tell you why that is ridiculous, but apparently I do have to tell some reporters who work for more generally respected corporate media, because some of them picked up on this. If anyone has doubts, let me know, and I'll detail the 99 reasons why it's ridiculous. We have a severe critical thinking deficit in this country, and it's costing us dearly.

On Fox, Tucker garnered 3 million viewers or so. This last drop on Twitter was viewed more that
10 million times.
When writing about Canadian or Irish (or American) whiskeys, use the "e" but not for those produced in Scotland ("whiskys).
As far as fucker carlson, well ... I will say that, as odious as he is, it's true that we'll probably never know who pulled off 9/11 and how it was done. And we don't know who killed JFK but, as I've said before, my parents weren't super critical thinkers themselves, but my Dad knew the Warren Commission report was a whitewash. And I don't think pervert epstein killed himself ... give me a fuckin' break. He may have been "allowed to off himself," but come on, that could have been prevented, and someone might have pulled a Whitey Bulger on him without beating his face to a pulp.
None of this is meant to imply that fucker carson is anything other than a fucker. That's all he is. Alex Jones is even more odious.
So many insecure little shits in this human world. What's amazing is how a man like shitler can "create reality" (as we all do) and remain at large. So laws and ethics mean nothing when they're not backed. shitler is a symptom of the sickness of this would-be-Caucasian-male-dominated shithole country.
