- So many fundraising texts begin, "You won't believe what" X said or did, followed by a URL promising to reveal whatever. Plonk. Either you think I'm a credulous idiot, or I indeed won't believe it, or I will, but in any case I'm not playing. August 15, 2026 Michael Froomkin

- It's funny how relatable small stuff, be it pen thieving, reflecting pool shenanigans, firing black seamstresses in order to hire sole source contractors for twice as much money, are the kind of details that stick in the public consciousness with any luck bring down much bigger crooks.

Speaking of Dan, when was the last time he mentioned your excellent site in WH Briefing…
He had to be pretty desperate on Friday, linking to a Gary David Fine WP op-ed on Bush haters… (I’m sorry, but don’t ask me to take seriously any theories from someone who asks “Why all the hate” then says “Bush’s administration is free of scandals. ” Someone has not been paying attention…
Too much weird news. I can’t wait for this election to be over and the most important decisions that Bush is able to make concern which brushpile to clear and where to hang those nifty silver spurs he got as a gift.
Because I glanced at the headline of this post and immediately thought, “OMG! They’re carting journalists off to Gitmo now?” having seen “Water” and “Treatment” and filling in the “Boarding.” Crawford’s far too good for Bush, he and his cronies should be in the Hague, but I won’t complain when he’s sent packing after the election.
