Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    How did I fail to monetize Jim Comey skepticism five years ago?

        Shit. My boss there is an asshole. This is my favorite Comey story ever, admittedly from 2014. https://www.salon.com/2014/08/14/george_w_bushs_false_heroes_the_real_story_of_a_secret_washington_sham/ … But I did want people to ask questions in confirmation hearing. Yick. That didn't happen.

        “Skepticism” isn’t really the mot juste. Is there a proverb like 10x burned, 100x shy?

        I'm the first person to publish the name Barack Obama in Hebrew*. Ain't seen a damn thing off it. * Other than a photo caption from 1998. He was still a State Senator and was here and met with someone that warranted a photo op.
