Now that my workout is done and while I drip dry a bit before showering the grime off and then getting the turkey I spatchcocked and wet rubbed last night in the oven, and since we could use a new open thread, I figured I’d regale you all with the story behind the cornbread stuffing …

The Durham Investigation, the Steele Dossier, & Misusing the Department of Justice For Partisan Political Purposes
