Mr. Matheson: Who the heck is Mason Olson, why did no one draft him out of BYU (5'10" size?), and what is he doing to get a 1.37era thru 4 appearances (including 4 innings of scoreless ball tonight). Thanks.

Has anyone spoken to the thought that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is still not in place. Grady is the acting Chairman after Brown was fired. Is the position not filled because Trump is fearful that the Joint Chiefs will step in and remove the current government?

President Putz and Elittleus Dickus joked about canceling an ebola project today. Ta-da. Mystery illness in Congo.

What we know about mysterious illness quickly killing people in the Congo
The WHO said the outbreak originated in a village when three children who reportedly ate a bat died within 48 hours of contracting the illness.

Pres. Putz is still not good in court. Three losses in just 90 minutes. Is that a Guinness World Record?
Get Guiness on the phone. Putz loves free publicity.

"There are times, sir, when men of good conscience can not blindly follow orders."

Do you understand what this means Republican lawmakers? Look within and ask yourself,'Am I still of good conscience?'

In these horrible times in Europe, I'm reminded of the Monty Python skit of the World's Funniest Joke. At the end of the skit, it noted Chamberlain's pre-war joke at Munich of appeasement. So, is President Putz the new Chamberlain, or is he The Joke?

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Trump is trying to pass all these illegal actions.
What does he have to do before someone calls for enactment of the 25th amendment? Seriously, what are they waiting for?

A Star Trek episode said that one day, the title from the novel "Let me help" will be recommended even over the words "I love you". With the anxiety in today's world, now may be the time that someone wrote that novel. #TOS

Re: Jim Acosta. GD gutless sh*t CNN. Giving trump a bl*w j*b appeasement so that they can keep access to the white house and the daily press conference. I'm ashamed to be part of a profession that had integrity at one time. Getting tougher to find outlets that value integrity over profits or risk.
