BATTLING FOR THE RIGHT TO NOT DRINK – Marilyn Armstrong

Garry has an undying devotion to some really awful old television series. Among many others, he really likes "The Untouchables." That would be the version with Robert Stack as Elliott Ness. It's the original, where our chief G-man and his "guys" fight (are you ready?) for The Volstead Act. Prohibition! That's right. Prohibition. Booze, or … Continue reading BATTLING FOR THE RIGHT TO NOT DRINK – Marilyn Armstrong

COMEY’S TESTIMONY – SO WHAT HAPPENED?

We watched the hearing with James Comey. There were no bombshells, except for Comey's strong emphasis on why this investigation is important. It is not about your political party -- or mine. It's about protecting the American system of election. Because what the Russians did was intentional and came from the top. And they are … Continue reading COMEY’S TESTIMONY – SO WHAT HAPPENED?

Garry is devoted to old television series, amongst them "The Untouchables." Starring Robert Stack as Elliott Ness. Dum-de-dum-dum. The FBI enforcing ... (ta-da) The Volstead Act. Prohibition! What a great show. When the cops are annoyed with you, they beat the living crap out of you. If that doesn't get you to spill your guts, they'll … Continue reading THE UNTOUCHABLES ARE UNMATCHABLE

The FBI can’t do a simple Google search?

On Criminal Minds in the première episode for the 2012-2013 season, the "perp" sews a victims mouth shut but in his mouth leaves the message "Gazing through to the other side." The BAU FBI team cannot find any reference to this quote. So I typed it into Google and hit Enter. Guess what? It's part … Continue reading The FBI can’t do a simple Google search?

Waiting for Dystopia

I'm bemused and a bit bewildered at the furor over how the NSA is spying on American citizens. As a long-time faithful fan of NCIS, Law & Order and so many other cop shows, I've become familiar with how easy it is for government agents to get our phone and computer records. Our photos are … Continue reading Waiting for Dystopia
