Reckoning With Alice Munro’s Darkest Secret

Bud Black is relentlessly positive but is also a realist, especially about his pitching staff. The Rockies manager knew in spring training that the team’s bullpen would be its weakest link. He was right. As the Rockies entered the weekend with just 15 games remaining, the bullpen had the worst ERA (5.36), worst WHIP (1.54), and highest batting average against (.281) in the majors.

Voter fraud fanatic Mike Lindell, faces another lawsuit after the shipping company DHL filed suit seeking to recover almost $88 thousand plus 18 percent annual interest, along with attorney fees. Lindell spoke to the AP about the latest suit, "Lindell told The Associated Press on Thursday that he didn’t know what the lawsuit was about, but that his company decided to stop using DHL over a year ago in a dispute over shipments that he said was DHL’s fault." What, me worry?

Fox News' Outnumbered program made the case that Kamala Harris actually lost the debate because she's asking for another debate. This is ludicrous. Fox News is using former Democratic insiders to prop up Trump's disastrous debate performance and claim Harris lost the first debate and ABC rigged it. MCENANY: You know, Emily moving this forward to a third debate before the cameras even shut down, like the lights were still bright in Philadelphia and Kamala Harris's campaign team was already out on Twitter saying we want another debate. Political playbook has a wise nugget today.

Former President Bloaty McBatshit doubled down on his remarks about Springfield, Ohio, after launching a baseless conspiracy theory about Haitians, who are living in the city legally, eating residents' pets. Trump's false claim during the debate, saying, "They are eating the dogs!" was promptly debunked and ridiculed. From the mayor to the dog warden, anyone who knows what's going on in that town, dunked on Donald for his bullshit claims. So, after repeating that false claim again, Trump spoke at a press conference in California and immediately confused one of his conspiracy theories with another one. If elected, Donald promised "large deportations" from Springfield, Ohio, and he got even weirder.

Inquiring minds want to know: What makes right-wing extremist Laura Loomer so “very special” to her favorite p***y grabber? I made the suggestion Loomer is Donald Trump’s extramarital gal pal in my post about her accompanying Trump both to his Tuesday night debate and Wednesday 9/11 events. Not surprisingly, I am far from the only one. The Miami New Times put forth some pretty strong evidence in a humor column called, “Laura Loomer and Trump Sitting in a Tree, K I S S I N G.” The article noted that Loomer not only arrived at the debate with Trump on his private jet but was also backstage in the spin room afterward. You know who wasn’t in any of those places?

(LONDON) — Prince Harry was always something different. From the moment he first appeared in public, snuggled in Princess Diana’s arms outside the London hospital where he was born in 1984, Harry was the ginger-haired scamp who stuck his tongue out at photographers. He grew to be a boisterous adolescent who was roundly criticized for wearing a Nazi uniform to a costume party, and then a young man who gave up the trappings of royal life and moved to Southern California with his American wife. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Through it all, there was a sense that Harry was rebelling against an accident of birth that made him, in the harsh calculus of the House of Windsor, just “the spare.” As the second son of the man who is now King Charles III, he was raised as a prince but wouldn’t inherit the throne unless brother William came to harm. Now the angry young man is turning 40, the halfway point in many lives, providing a chance to either dwell on the past or look forward to what might still be achieved. For the past four years, Harry has focused mainly on the past, making millions of dollars by airing his grievances in a wildly successful memoir and a Netflix docu-series.
