One of the coolest things that happened this week.

Way cooler than BJ Clinton playing the sax.

His second time around as the AG for the DOJ, it looks like Barr is comfortable in his own skin and mature and relaxed about finding out what really happened in the agencies that tried to RR Trump.

I really like this guy, Bill Barr.

He plays the Scottish war pipes. We’re still waiting for somebody famous to kit himself up with Northumbrian pipes.

This is so great to see. Barr obviously enjoys the Scottish aspect of his ancestry.

What a prince of a man! (However, I don't like the term "illegal guns").

The Great Highland Bagpipe...an implement of war...give me the pen and I will sign!

If you're a bagpiping aficionado this kind of thing will get your blood stirring:

And here's a remarkable coincidence: A clip of the 2018 Grade 1 World Championship Pipe Band, with Emma Barr as their Drum Major. This is an exceptional band.

About 99% of the people here don’t get that “tattoo” and “tattoo” are two different words with separate etymologies.

He’s played the pipes since he was 10. Now we know how he got to be such a brave man!

Loved the pipes but also his sense of humor! Pleasant surprised on both accounts.
