The Three Whisky Happy Hour: Eye-Bleach Edition

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

This episode has everything: a how-to guerilla guide to improving your McDonald's hamburger experience; a spirited discussion of the Alabama Supreme Court decision that defines frozen embryos as persons (Steve thinks the media is willfully misreporting the decision—John is not so sure); those crazy new presidential rankings from political scientists—and even some soft-core porn!

Say what?

Well, it turns out that that Judge Arthur Engoron, who oversaw Trump's alleged fraud trial in New York City, apparently has a case of Anthony Weiner envy, and posted some rather racy locker room pics of himself some years back.

And right in the middle of our discussion Lucretia flashed the pictures up on the Zoom screen, sending John and Steve rushing for some eye-bleach. There must be something in the bottled water Manhattan Democrats drink. (And doesn't Engoron sound like the name of a dwarve or elve who goes bad in Lord of the Rings?)

In any case, we do finally get around to a new segment of the 3WHH, where we note three articles from the last week for what they can tell us about something. John chose those stupid presidential rankings; Lucretia chose an MSNBC article from leftist columnist Paul Waldman that unwittingly admits that everything conservatives say about the administrative state is completely true; and Steve picked Karol Markowitz's NY Post column reflecting on how recent social science that ratifies the conservative view that two-parent families are the best way to raise children is so controversial with the left, which is no surprise.

    One of the witnesses in Steyn trial asked Mann for the data used to construct the hockey stick. Mann didn’t have it readily available and finally refused to provide it. None of the other peer viewers asked for the data. We’re supposed to spend trillions of dollars based on a study which cannot be closely scrutinized. That’s climate science according to the Mann who cannot be criticized.

    In any other venue than Washington DC, a jury would not only have sided with Steyn, but made Mann pay Steyn's legal costs (as indeed a Canadian court ordered for Tim Ball, and Mann never paid).

    Engoron is 70+ years old and puts these photos in a high school newsletter that he himself edits. So essentially he's sending out shirtless photos of himself to his high school classmates from 50 years ago. YUCK!
