95 Percent of Representatives Have a Degree. Look Where That’s Got Us.
Over the last few decades, Congress has diversified in important ways. It has gotten less white, less male, less straight — all positive developments. But as I was staring at one of the many recent Senate hearings, filled with the usual magisterial blustering and self-important yada yada, it dawned on me that there’s a way that Congress has moved in a wrong direction, and become quite brazenly unrepresentative. No, it’s not that the place seethes with millionaires, though there’s that problem too. It’s that members of Congress are credentialed out the wazoo. An astonishing number have a small kite of extra initials fluttering after their names. According to the Congressional Research Service , more than one third of the House and more than half the Senate have law degrees. Roughly a fifth of senators and representatives have their master’s. Four senators and 21 House members have M.D.s, and an identical number in each body (four, 21) have some kind of doctoral degree, whether … [Read more...] about 95 Percent of Representatives Have a Degree.

‘The Tory end times should be more fun than this’
Very few people who have wondered what the end times would look like would have guessed that certain doom would be presided over by a zombie, a Thunderbird puppet, and a relentlessly-happy Scrooge and Marley. And yet - welcome to the last year of Tory rule, starring an undead Liz Truss, a barely-human Matt Hancock, and topped off with a Chancellor and Prime Minister whose eternal souls will still be giggling joyfully as the worst demons Satan can find eat them from the toes up. There are a little over 300 days before Rishi Sunak has to call an election which he is as likely to win as he is to eat anything from Greggs, yet no-one seems very happy about it. Is it all Keir Starmer's fault? "Yes. Yes it is." ( Image: JESSICA TAYLOR/UK PARLIAMENT/UNPIXS) Recent polls show that even Tory voters want rid of the Tories. All the other voters certainly do. The extreme likelihood of the entire Tory party being reduced to two backbenchers in Lincolnshire should, therefore, … [Read more...] about ‘The Tory end times should be more fun than this’
Police rapist David Carrick told victim he was ‘safest person’ before sex attack
A former Metropolitan Police officer told one of his victims he was “the safest person that she could be with” before he raped her.

Today was the first of a two-day sentencing hearing at Southwark Crown Court in London. This morning the court heard how Carrick carried out a “catalogue of violent and brutal sexual offences… on multiple victims”. Prosecutor Tom Little KC, opening the case at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, began by listing all the charges Carrick has admitted. Carrick attacked a dozen women over an 18-year period Mr Little told the court about a victim who had been told by Carrick that he was "the safest person that she could be with" before raping her.

Right-Wingers Melt Down Over ‘Satanic’ Pfizer-Sponsored Grammys
“Are you ready for a little controversy?” a nearly unrecognizable Madonna said when she took the stage as a surprise presenter at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, holding a riding crop in one hand and a microphone in the other. “Here’s what I learned after four decades in music,” she continued. “If they call you shocking, scandalous, troublesome, problematic, provocative, or dangerous, you’re definitely onto something.” When that line got no reaction from the star-studded crowd, she added, “That’s where you make noise.” Madonna ultimately got what she wanted after Sam Smith and Kim Petras took the stage to perform their Grammy-winning song “ Unholy ”, which included Smith donning a top hat with devil horns on it as flames rose up around them. That alone—not to mention the fact that Smith is gender nonbinary and Petras is a transgender woman—would have been enough to get America’s pearl-clutching conservatives up in arms. But what really seems to have them outraged is what happened … [Read more...] about Right-Wingers Melt Down Over ‘Satanic’ Pfizer-Sponsored Grammys
Men’s basketball: After short respite, Buffs look to pack offense on tough road swing
The Colorado men’s basketball team is 1-7 in true road games. That’s not good. But CU head coach Tad Boyle believes his team isn’t as bad on the road as the record indicates. The Buffaloes will have a chance to prove that this week. After turning in a pair of solid all-around performances during a home sweep of the Bay Area schools, the Buffs are expected to take Monday and Tuesday off before beginning preparations for Saturday’s Pac-12 Conference battle at Utah (8 p.m. MT, FS1). Whatever hope the Buffs (14-11, 6-8 Pac-12) still harbor for playing their way into postseason contention will require elusive results on the road, beginning this week in Salt Lake City and continuing next week with a two-game trip through Arizona. “To me, we’ve got one in a row. We’ve got Utah. That’s how I look at it,” Boyle said. “We’ve played decent on the road. It’s not like we’re getting blown out. But we’re not playing well enough to win. You’re never as good as you think you are when … [Read more...] about Men’s basketball: After short respite, Buffs look to pack offense on tough road swing
