#Scout Raskin
Text
Y’all get that we are living in an incredibly historic time.
The Committee named names. They were all on fire, all who spoke.
Trump CALLED a witness and the witness refused to talk.
Referred to DOJ.
Boom.
Raskin called Watergate a Cub Scout Meeting in comparison to this shitshow.
So damn much to be happy about with this.
And Raskin called next week’s hearing A RECKONING for America!

SMART BOMB
The Completely Unnecessary News Analysis
By Christopher Smart
April 30, 2024
CAMPUS PROTESTS: THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT
So Wilson, it must be déjà vu all over again for you and the guys in the band. Campus demonstrations — students getting beat up and arrested. It's gotta bring back fond memories of the war in Vietnam. Cops wielding batons, bloody foreheads, handcuffs, all that good stuff. It's like 1968 all over again. It started at Columbia University where students apparently don't appreciate their bloody fingerprints all over the 34,000 dead in Gaza. The protests spread from NYU to USC. It's the same but different from protests over our disastrous and deadly 10-year soiree through Southeast Asia. The National Guard hasn't killed any students yet — like at Kent State on May 4, 1970 — but give it time. Remember those days, Wilson, when young people wouldn't take ownership of all the bullshit the old, white men were up to in the nation's capital. Those screwups. It's always the young people who have it together. What was the battle cry back then — sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. It does have a ring to it. Yes Wilson, we know, you and the guys took it very seriously. Such dedication. This time around Republicans in Congress are getting into the act with public executions of university presidents for allowing civil disobedience. Meanwhile they hail Jan. 6 insurrectionists as heroes. What're you gonna do? Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
TOP 10 NAMES FOR UTAH'S NEW NHL TEAM
The Arizona Coyotes NHL hockey franchise is moving to Utah and there's a big buzz over what to name them. Already a bunch of dumb names have been suggested, such as The Pucks, The Blades, The Pioneers etc. etc. So the staff here at Smart Bombs got to work on some totally better proposals. Here they are:
10 – Latter-day Saints
9 – The Jack Mos
8 – Crispy Creams
7 – Swarming Locusts
6 – The Salt Water Taffy
5 – Jesus's Sunbeams
4 – Jiggly Jell-Os
3 – Skating Apostates
2 – Gayful Rainbows
1 – What's wrong with the Coyotes, anyway. We kill plenty of them in Utah each year. How about Grateful Dead Coyotes?
TO RECUSE OR NOT RECUSE — THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION
Recently Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. suggested the U.S. Supreme Court move its chambers to the headquarters of the National Republican Committee because the justices act like partisan hacks. Nanner, nanner, nanner! Raskin took out after the high court's conservative majority as they looked to be receptive to Trump's claim of absolute immunity. But the big question is, does the RNC have parking for Justice Clarence Thomas' 40-foot, $267,000 motor home that he purchased with a “loan” from billionaire Anthony Welters. If not, he'll have to leave it at the Walmart parking lot. During the recent immunity hearing nothing was mentioned about Thomas' wife, Ginni, and her critical involvement in a conspiracy to keep Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election. Some of those liberal nit-pickers say Clarence should recuse himself because he appears to have a conflict of interest. But just because Ginni was up to her neck in the planned coup is no reason Clarence should bow out. That would signal jurisprudence, which has little to do with the Roberts Court mission statement. It hews toward “originalism,” that is, bullshitting your way through any argument by claiming to read the minds of the long-dead framers of the Constitution. And then there's always voodoo.
Post script — That's a wrap for another fabulous but frightening April here at Smart Bomb where we keep track of the nastiness at the Utah Republican State Convention so you don't have to. Hey Wilson, if you think Marjorie Taylor Greene is a bitch you weren't at the state GOP convention. There was so much malevolence there that it threatened to peel the paint off the convention center walls. It made MTG look like a Girl Scout. Let's agree to disagree or I'll rip your f-ing head off. Eesch! The rabid right contingent even booed the mild mannered Gov. Spencer Cox, to which he retorted: “Maybe you hate that I don’t hate enough.” The Party of Trump, where if you ain't mean, you ain't American. People believe what they want to believe. For example: 9/11 was an inside job. George W. Bush pulled it off so he could expand government power and the military industrial complex to profit on the war on terror. Don't forget Pizzagate. Hillary Clinton and her band of thugs ran a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza place in D.C. One problem: no basement. For his part, Donald Trump made 30,573 false or misleading statements while president, according to The Washington Post. Hey Wilson, did you hear that Trump won the 2020 election. It must be true — just ask the MAGAtes.
Reality isn't for sissies. As it was in Vietnam, it's up to the college kids to point out the slaughter in Gaza is inhumane. And as it was then, too, the response of university administrations is flat-footed and dumb-headed. The more things change, well ... So Wilson, get the guys in the band and take us back to the future:
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking' their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, "hooray for our side"
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's going down?
(For What It's Worth — Buffalo Springfield)

WE'RE IN ORRE BUT THE TEXTURES ARE FUCKED UP, BUT THEN PASTING THIS INTO WORDPAD FUCKED IT UP EVEN MORE??????????????
jorb did the math and the candy i'm eating is literally 50% sugar
maybe i shouldn't do my notes in wordpad actually considering it's weird all the time
good news: this time i think my headset is set up so i'll be able to hear the dbz music
oh there's nyx! he feel asleep.
jorb: i was nearly gonna say "i'm gonna inject you with caffeine", but i almost said "i'm gonna inject you with cocaine".
i think I'M gonna feel asleep.
PREVIOUSLY ON DRAGONS ON ICESPIRE PEAK:
oh man the dbz music is so crunchy
we cleared out a temple from dangerous oozes so that the dwarves at the excavation could hide out there from the dragon! also some other stuff happened. i think i maybe shouldve reread my notes
jorb: so you're gonna head to the inn?
[water noise]
michael: yes.
jorb: WHO PEED?
michael is talking abt his friend's cat <3 luigi................
he is very afraid of everything and michael is trying to feed him, which is a problem bc he keeps hiding "like a little bitch"
OKAY we're gonna be escorting Don-Jon Raskin somewhere! he's been decided to be australian.
jorb: oh god i don't know how to do an australian accent
leo: YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN,,
jorb: i'm a non-practicing australian.
jorb: --and two things of oil, which you should not eat.
alidaar: but what if i did
jorb: i think that'd be bad for your health.
nameless: but what if i want to
jorb: ..the crates--
michael: how much does an ox cost
jorb: don't tell me you're gonna fence the ox!

BIG RAT GUARDS?
we don't know what these are bc ali and lil guy don't have great arcana and tobias, the guy who DOES, rolled a nat1
don-jon is now the overseer of a mine of rats
(don-jon was sent by the owner of the mine to take over, but now it's been taken over by Someone New who has, uh, weird rat guards? this may be an issue.)
This Is An Issue
the mine has been commandeered by the whiskered gang! (ali: that's a stupid name.) they got chased out of their old territory by orcs so they've decided to turn the mine into their new base of operations.
however, IF we take out the orcs, then the gang will leave!
oh apparently jorb had to add in the silvered axe i picked up bc uh. these guys are were-rats! so they're immune to everything that isn't silvered or magical! OOP
jorb: [doing scene description] ..why is the barrel crab typing?
hm. okay so we found an abandoned place with horses. specifically this whole place has gotten burned down. Not Good. time to keep moving on!
i spaced out and heard the phrase "bubblebutt ranch" and i will never be free again

oh turns out binturongs can Open Doors. like, irl. sorry jorb :V
jorb: okay, you're touching the altar?
nyx: i touch the altar.
oh nyx is having an out of body experience! little guy is seeing a fortress on icespire peak, which appears to be where our bastard dragon is living!
jorb: luckily none of the orcs have moved from the spot you last saw them in, as if they're glued to their spots until they're engaged with in some sort of combat
oh we're doing combat now
ALL OF THE ORCS TAKE THEIR TURNS AT THE SAME TIME?
HELP GIRL WE'RE IN COMBAT AND I JUST GOT PINGED IN THE TACO STAND TO EXPLAIN WHY HORSES AREN'T ALLOWED IN EMBLEM WARHORSE
leo: im using this orc's head as a golf ball.
jorb: okay! you use this orc's head as a golf ball! it's.. it goes.
jorb: you can high-five the bear as a free action.
I Am Losing All Of My HP In One Turn
finally getting to use my runes! fuck yea. also i'm very tired and kinda distracted bc of Taco Stand Horse Discourse but mostly i'm just tired
tobias: i put myself facedown in defense mode and end my turn.
alidaar finished combat by climbing up a PILE OF BODIES and LUNGING AT THE OGRE to SLICE ITS HEAD OFF WITH HIS BRAND NEW BATTLEAXE and then used his morningstar to fucking golfclub that head out of sight. hell yes
alidaar: poggers.

Weekend Trip: Savannah, Georgia
This past weekend, I brought my family on a 3 day trip down to Savannah. I had been to Savannah before and fell in love with its architecture, food and easy way of life. Wanting to share this experience with my parents, I put together a short tour of the city. If you are looking to do the same, here are my recommendations on what to see, eat and where to stay in beautiful Savannah!
Accommodations:
My husband and I have been using Airbnb quite frequently for our trips. Depending on which you choose, they can be very economical and in great locations. The one we chose in Savannah was a sunny yellow Victorian house with an upstairs apartment in the historic district. Located right next to Forsyth Park, it was within walking distance of beautiful historic mansions and some delicious restaurants. We wanted something downtown so we wouldn’t have to rent a car, and we took advantage of the free trolley service (DOT) when our sites were not within walking distance.
Though the Bed & Breakfasts are very charming and the hotels chic in the area we stayed in, they were quite pricey. Airbnb was the best choice for us, especially with five of us staying together, and each couple had their own room.
Dining:
There are many, MANY excellent restaurants in Savannah, so you really can’t go wrong. However, if you are looking for specific recommendations, here are mine.
Sandfly BBQ at the Streamliner not only has fantastic BBQ, but it is also housed in a retro diner (always a winner in my book!) Delicious food, cheap prices, fast and friendly service is what you can expect. I had the pulled pork with their traditional sauce, mac and cheese, and green beans, soooo good!
The Cotton Exchange Tavern is a good choice for decently priced seafood while exploring the Riverwalk, and Leopold’s Ice Cream is a delicious retro treat on hot summer days. Our favorite brunch spot (which we also had 4 years before) is J. Christopher’s, and I highly recommend trying the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict.
Attractions:
There are a number of good house museums to explore: Isaiah Davenport House, Owens-Thomas House, Mercer Williams House, Harper Fowlkes House, etc. On this particular trip however, we visited the Andrew Low House, home to the incredibly wealthy Low family (including the founder of the Girl Scouts of America). The house was beautifully furnished in period pieces and the docent was lively and knowledgable.
As mentioned before, a walk around Forsyth Park and the historic district is a great way to explore Savannah’s charming architecture and historic roots. Though Savannah is scorching hot in the summer, the tree-laden squares dotted through the neighborhood provide much needed shade while you explore.
There are a number of museums to see, including the Telfair Art Museum, Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, SCAD Museum of Art, and Massie Heritage Center. We decided to explore the Georgia State Railroad Museum, and it was a highlight of the trip! Being very fond of trains, it was interesting to see the railcars of years past, and hear about the hey-dey of train travel and its booming industry.
Shopping:
I recommend exploring the Riverwalk, which is filled with shops and restaurants. Though very touristy, the walk is still enjoyable with its cobblestone path, riverboats sailing the water, and delicious treats. I couldn’t resist buying some taffy at the vintage candy shop or buying a lace fan to beat the sweltering heat.
Some other good shopping areas are Broughton Street (where you can find the Paris Market, a mixture of antiques and new pieces) or City Market.
If you are looking for antiques, Alex Raskin Antiques is filled to the brim. It can be quite pricey, but fun to explore. There are a number of other antique stores in Savannah, but I have not ventured to them. If looking for the best in the area, I recommend this list on yelp. There is also a quirky little vintage clothing store in the historic district that I enjoyed perusing. The Future on Forsyth has a cultivated collection of colorful vintage clothing and accessories that is both enjoyable to shop and fun to explore. I myself bought a pair of nautical aqua earrings.
I hope this list helps whoever is going to explore Savannah, it’s one of my favorite cities and I loved sharing!
