I try to stay skeptical about conspiracy theories, but I have yet to see an explanation for why this guy had so much money and connections. To talk about “science” and “money markets”? At Bill Clinton’s request? None of that makes sense to me.

Looking forward to more vindictive prosecution findings.

I thought the healthcare tax credits were too technical to grab popular support, and turn the shutdown against Republicans. Maybe I was wrong.

But the governor of Louisiana already has command of the Louisiana National Guard. Is there some funding advantage to having them federalized? Is it to normalize National Guard use for law enforcement? Maybe fishing for a case to bring to the supreme court on posse commitatus? This doesn’t make obvious sense.

I am willing to deal with a cheesy lisp if you play a good game of Terraforming Mars or Gaia Project.
