Just now Megyn Kelly is talking about the lunatic professor who took out 3 people and injured 3 more at a staff meeting-I’ve got to wonder why no one paid any mind that this woman had killed her brother, that she and her husband were suspected would-be bombers, and just generally all around crazy. She belonged in a facility for the criminally insane, not teaching at a university.

And that terrible haircut makes her head look like a mushroom. Apparently, from what I heard on Fox, a number of people had nasty encounters with her in the past-it sounds like she has been certifiable for years.

I haven’t heard from Nemesis since he called me Thursday-I think he is probably pouting because I will not call him, told him I’m not interested in being a chameleon again and that he reminds me of Gollum fawning and gloating over possessions so much I expect him to hiss “my preciousssss” any minute.

[tioga]

he, he.......good job.

If you’re picking up the same transmissions I am, you have my sympathies.
