Harvey Keitel, some mook, and George Memmoli (who doesn't pay mooks) in Mean Streets

Harvey Keitel, some mook, and George Memmoli (who doesn't pay mooks) in Mean Streets

Apparently the legal justification cited by a DOJ attorney (whose training includes catching an episode of Matlock at the bar with the sound off) for not paying off our ever-rising tariff refund is that the American people and companies are mooks and they don't pay mooks.

"Just 36% approve of how Trump is handling Iran, and a majority (55%) thinks Iran either represents a minor threat or no threat at all to the United States." www.npr.org/2026/03/06/n...

“When you think about it, we weren’t trying to make history or trying to rewrite history. We were responding to the problems of the particular time.”

My pitch for Casablanca always is "It's good, it's fun, it's movies. Liking movies and not liking Casablanca is an impossibility. You are guaranteed a good time." I have never had anyone disagree after they watch it.

It’s part of a series of actions the agency has taken under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy ...

The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism “cures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)
