A crystal ball, seen in the middle of the photo is this fire- ravaged room, set the blaze by focusing sunlight from a  window onto a small point on the couch, setting it ablaze  OK, I have to dispense with the joke right away, since it's so obvious.   A crystal ball started a fire that wrecked a house in Wisconsin.  But whoever owned the crystal ball should have seen it coming. Ba dum, dum!  I'm sure the owners of the house do NOT like me joking about it, because in reality, it's awful when somebody's house burns down. I only dare joke because I know nobody was killed or injured in the blaze. According to the Delton, Wisconsin Fire Department, via a Facebook post: "An investigation determined the fire started on a couch in the living room and the cause of the fire was determined to be from a glass 'crystal ball' ornament. The crystal ball had been located on a table near the couch and in direct sunlight. When sunshine came through a large set of windows and...

Tucker Carlson probably doesn't care if a few extra people die as long as his ratings stay up  Tucker Carlson wants to see more Americans die.   That's the conclusion I have to reach as he's using his platform to question Covid vaccines, and to discourage people from taking it.  Carlson uttered these falsehoods on his broadcast this past Tuesday.  "From the very first day, the way the authorities handled the Covid vaccine did not inspire confidence.

That last sentence is rich, coming from an idiot criticizing the vaccine to his more than 4 million viewers. Carlson did not specify what the alleged lies are.  After making the above accusation about vaccines, Carlson e...

Crazy Marjorie Taylor Greene has inexplicably become a  GOP darling, despite her, um, interesting ideas.  Back on November 8, 2018, some power lines broke and arced in northern California in the middle of a wind storm and severe drought.    The resulting wildfire became a monster and destroyed the town of Paradise, California. The fire killed 75 people, and it was the worse wildfire in California history.  Most people would not want to make the situation worse for the grieving residents of Paradise. Then again, most people are not Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is my nominee as worst U.S congressperson every. And that's saying something  Greene is one of those QAnon conspiracy theorists. Yes, she's delusional, but the mean streak that's part of this pathology really makes her special.  Her conspiracy nonsense seems designed to make everybody feel worse.  Most people want to help, or at least empathize with the fine citizens of Paradise, California....
