Blue turning gray

 Researchers at New York University believe they have discovered the mechanism that causes hair to turn gray.  It has something to do with stem cells and hair follicles.  I have other possible explanations.

In Gastonia, North Carolina, six-year-old Kinsley White was playing with a basketball which rolled into a neighbor's yard.  The neighbor, Robert Singletary, emptied his gun at Kinsley and her parents, injuring her and her father.  He is still being sought.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee invited Andriy Kostin, prosecutor general of Ukraine, to testify about Russian war crimes including the abduction of 20,000 children and the use of rape as a weapon of war.  But Scott Perry had more important matters to discuss:  Burisma Oil, corruption, and of course Hunter Biden.  I'm happy to say Kostin treated this with the contempt it demanded.

New details have emerged about the ethical sinkhole that is Clarence Thomas.  When he insisted that right-wing groups connected to Harlan Crow had had no business before the Court during his tenure, he meant that they certainly did.  Chief Justice Roberts has been invited to chat with the Senate Judiciary Committee, but Republicans are horrified, insisting it would be "a circus."  Fire up the calliope.

Klint Ludwig says his grandfather, Andrew Lester, was a day-long consumer of Fox News before he shot Ralph Yarl for ringing his doorbell.  Ludwig is lucky Grandpa hasn't shot him. 

In Fairfield, Iowa, Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodale pleaded guilty to beating Nohema Graber to death with baseball bats in 2021.  Her offense was to give them bad grades in high school Spanish.

SpaceX's giant rocket launched today and promptly exploded.  Apparently it had to happen today because 4/20 has special significance for Elon Musk.  It's known as "weed day."  The fact that it's far more notorious as Hitler's birthday is not mentioned in the Independent article.

The latest religious group to face sexual abuse allegations is the Jehovah's Witnesses.  And you thought all they did was ring the bell during dinner.

Did you take the "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge?  Robert Zeidman did and now he's entitled to $5 million according to an arbitration panel.  Zeidman, a computer forensics expert, proved that there was no Chinese interference in the 2020 election.  Naturally Lindell is whining about an appeal, which is usually unavailable after arbitration.  Five million is a lot of lumpy pillows, especially when you're defending a $1.3 billion Dominion Voting Systems defamation suit.  

Trump is longing to attend the trial of Jean Carroll's lawsuit, which begins Tuesday.  But he knows it would cause a traffic nightmare for New York, the city he cares so much about, so he may have to stay home.  New York has many traffic nightmares every year, including the September opening of the United Nations, New Year's Eve, various ethnic parades and the occasional championship celebration of a local sports franchise.  I think the NYPD could probably handle one more.  And I'm sure he'll want to tell Tucker about the sobbing officers at the civil court.  "Tears were pouring down.  'As if you ever needed to rape anyone, sir.'  Tough guys, very tough."

Marco Rubio tweets, "FOUR DAYS and they still can't figure out how to get enough gasoline to South Florida."  Does "they" refer to the oil companies, the government of Florida or the Biden administration?  Why am I even asking?

At least two Florida women nearly died of pregnancy complications.  It's working, Governissimo.

Pregnant Louisiana woman...mother of two...drive-by shooting...mistaken identity...where's that hair coloring?  Maybe I'll just shave my head.
