Come to think of it, the most bizarre court filing I've seen is some time was the defamation case Devin Nunes' lawyer filed against Twitter
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Yes that's the one.
Apparently the cow twitter account went from a couple hundred followers before the lawsuit to 650,000 after.
The real Nunes doesn't have many more twitter followers than that.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

And here I thought right-wingers always derided using celebrities as some kind of political expert.

I don't understand the paranoia there. The Congress is exercising its authority to prevent the President from abusing his power. Just because he was elected it does not grant him unlimited authority. Nor is doing an investigation of a Constitutional nature trying to destroy somebody personally.

It is our business we don't like Trump but clearly it is not, since if we do anything to act on that he takes it as proof we are out to destroy him...doesn't sound like he doesn't take it very personally that somebody doesn't like Trump. He takes it as a personal threat to himself.

Like the Republicans trying to impeach Bill Clinton, or like the Republicans trying to block any legislative effort from Barrack Obama?

They are difficult to follow, sometimes ;)

What's a time ship?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
