I have absolutely no doubt that Exxon is run much more efficiently than the Trump organization.

reading Gibbon is more useful every day

This is right out of the last days of Rome -- DJT Jr. resigning as Trump's son.

This is an area where the Ottomans greatly improved on Roman practice for dealing with wayward sons.

Hey, look, the Washington Post wrote an op-ed from a former Bushie responding to Sebby's idea that all's fair in politics.

I know of at least one government agency where the archive is so corrupted that to say any e-mail is "retained" is a stretch at best and an outright falsehood if under oath.

A eunuch would generally enter their chambers with a strong silk cord. Only the eunuch would leave.

Even Shep Smith of Fox News has more of a moral compass than Sebastian:

We’re still not clean on this, Chris [Wallace]. If there’s nothing there — and that’s what they tell us, they tell us there’s nothing to this and nothing came of it, there’s a nothingburger, it wasn’t even memorable, didn’t write it down, didn’t tell you about it, because it wasn’t anything so I didn’t even remember it — with a Russian interpreter in the room at Trump Tower? If all of that, why all these lies? Why is it lie after lie after lie? If you clean, come on clean, you know? My grandmother used to say when first we practice to — Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. The deception, Chris, is mind-boggling. And there are still people who are out there who believe we’re making it up. And one day they’re gonna realize we’re not and look around and go, Where are we, and why are we getting told all these lies?

The Daily Dose is canceled today, because of the shame of Sebastian. I'm not mad, Sebastian, but I'm very disappointed in you. And I'm mad. And if you even think about saying that my hair is on fire, I am going to have you banned from this board on grounds of banality.
