        "Let me be clear once again. I had no knowledge prior to or during these lane realignments, and had no role in authorizing them. No believable evidence was presented to contradict that fact."

        GOV. CHRIS CHRISTIE, of New Jersey, in a statement after two of his former aides were convicted on all charges stemming from a scheme to deliver political payback by closing access lanes to the George Washington Bridge.

          "Across a great divide, two views of the unthinkable". The headline of today's Boston Globe newspaper, beneath which are two articles. One fearing what will happen if Trump is elected, the other fearing what will happen if Clinton is elected.

            Those articles are really scary. It's like Voldemort v. the Wicked Witch of the West. No, far worse! It's real life!

              "He had run into some scrap aluminum sheeting from an actual World War II B-24 Liberator, and he wanted to design a guitar with it."
              Matt Artinger was put on this earth to design and build some of the sweetest-sounding guitars ever crafted. And when a man figures out what he was put on this earth to do, his is fortunate indeed.

                I predict the recent Treasury rates will be the lows of our lifetimes.

                Host Joe Kernen:

                Haven't you been predicting that for five years?

                              General Mattis told Mr. Trump what experts have been saying for years: Torture doesn’t work. Mr. Trump said he was “impressed and surprised” by General Mattis’s assurance that, “Give me a pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers and I’ll do better.”

                              It was alarming to confront how thinly thought through many of Mr. Trump’s stances actually are.

                                The economist Milton Friedman said that once, while he was taken to see a canal that was being dug, he expressed astonishment that there was no heavy earth-moving machinery, only men with shovels. A government official said that was because the project was a jobs program. Well, then, Friedman replied, shouldn't they use spoons rather than shovels?
