> [@kayaker](#): > > I don’t know about that. [Cyril Wecht](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Wecht) is a pathologist of some celebrity, yet I think the man is a genius. Cyril Wecht is the idiot who dreamed up the ‘Magic Bullet’ theory for the JFK assassination. He made this determination based on not examining the evidence. Most celebrity pathologists vary from exaggerators to simple frauds, but Wecht was determined to show how stupid he was. ---

Whether or not dipping into lulz memes is appropriate for the official twitter account of an elected official is a different question I suppose. ---

You’d have to be a complete business failure and an idiot to screw that up. Actually, when I was living in Nevada I saw a fair number of casinos close their doors and I don’t think it was because the owner(s) cashed out and are on a beach somewhere with a Mai Tai at their elbow. ---
