Might be. Might be lying to escape prison.
“Might be. Might be lying to escape prison.”
From watching such TV shows as Bones and NCIS, I know that the authorities only make deals if the informer is telling the truth.
If TV shows are your source, no wonder.
Well, I tried to be nice. I tried to let you off with a joke.
But you wouldn’t have it. You had to come back with snark.
You said there was no evidence that Jerry Parks was murdered.
No one who knows anything about these events, or at least who was trying to tell the truth about them, would ever say such a thing.
I remember the oversized newsprint format but I don’t recall glossy covers until the switch to a magazine format.
I think the overall quality declined after the Cold war ended and during the Clinton years with the focus on an individual instead of ideas and policy; though The American Spectator WAS the only outlet covering Clinton’s crimes.
The focus was the Reagan Revolution domestically and the Cold War and Central America abroad, with book and movie reviews, The Continuing Crisis (the newspaper wrapped dead fish logo was a hoot), the Great American Saloons column and anything by Tom Bethell or Sidney Hook.
I don’t know if Joe Sobran was still writing then but I did read him in other venues and very much liked his work.
The magazine was a revelation and alternative to a US media that an older friend described as the “What’s New on the Left?”, hearts and flowers approach, vs “New Threat From the Right!”
The quality of the discourse beat anything else I read at the time including National Review or The New Republic which was still an intellectually honest if liberal pub with very high standards.
TAS armed me for the daily contest with my liberal college professors and fawning apple polisher fellow students and they did it with unapologetic brio and style.
I still remember my belly laugh when I read the names on the masthead of their legal counsel: “Solitary, Poor, Nasty, Brutish & Short”!
