Talk about disappointing headlines. It had me primed for something like: “They all said my health care plan was a work of madness! Now I’ll show them madness….”
Update: I was so busy checking Jonathan Coulter Coulton lyrics I didn’t get around to actually reading that NY Times article before I posted. It’s about the Clinton campaign setting up a new website specifically to rebut anti-Clinton disinfo and rumors. Oddly, the article doesn’t give the site’s URL, or even its name. I think it’s The Fact Hub.
With the JoCo headline following the JoCo link in recent comments, you have won my heart.
I was expecting to find that Hillary had become a samurai.
I'm watching an old "Captain Marvel" movie serial in which the bad guy has a ancient gold scorpion whose legs hold lenses which, when properly positioned, turns sunlight into a disintegration ray.
I think the good Senator could put one of those to good use.

*cough* Jonathan Coulton *cough*
CLINTON: If elected I promise to rampage through New York City and swat biplanes from the top of the Empire State Building until my grisly and untimely demise!
@ Bill, #4: Now that's a half-hawk monster I don't want to see.
I thought the end of the story was the best part:
Ms. Esterday said she did not understand what all the commotion was about.
“You people are really nuts,” she told a reporter during a phone interview. “There’s kids dying in the war, the price of oil right now — there’s better things in this world to be thinking about than who served Hillary Clinton at Maid-Rite and who got a tip and who didn’t get a tip.”
Somebody had to tell them!
The NYT doesn't believe in fact-checking. Thought you knew that by now.
It gets by as well as it does because many of its reporters are far too good for it. Especially in the days of Collins, Warner, and Harshaw.
What is an "instant chance"? Or should that word be moved over to say "instant weapon"?
Oddly, the article doesn’t give the site’s URL, or even its name. I think it’s The Fact Hub.
*cough*paragraph eight*cough*
Does that story really and truly go on to say that when the waitress insisted she'd never seen a tip, a Clinton staff member gave her hush money?
#9: I think I have a box of Instant Weapon in my cupboard. It's never as good as real weapon, but sometimes you're too tired and you just want to disembowel something and go to bed.
I thought an Instant Weapon was whatever was at hand when the zombie samurai attack; chair legs, cans of spam, a 2x4 with a nail in it, printer cable (used as garret), old and heavy books, broken beer bottle, fallen electrical cable that a stray wind pulled down...
Curiously, this is also the contents of Rudy Gulliani's Terrorist Preparedness Kit.
Richard Brandt, when she said she'd never seen a tip, the Clinton staffer gave her one.
Speaking of disappointing headlines:
Saw a carton on COX and FORKUM intitled STRANGE BIRD its a hawk and dove sewn together but the poor thing wont be able to fly
