To one, the other, both, or you?

Read huge swaths of Bork’s book _Slouching to Gonorrhea_, or whatever it was. Jebus Arriba, that face, on the book cover! The face of stage four constipation.

Seems kinda obvious that Bork got bounced because they didn’t like Bork, not because they didn’t like Reagan. Garland being ignored had nothing at all to do with anyone’s feelings about Garland, had everything to do with antipathy to Obama.

Analogy fail.

I have no idea how this has turned into a thread about Bork.

Here’s an[update](http://www.jsonline.com/story/opinion/2017/01/24/editorial-david-clarke-needs-go/97005872/).

Milwaukee paper opines that “Clarke needs to go”.

Semi-related trivia: In Wisconsin, only a Coroner can arrest a Sheriff.

That seems a bit extreme. Dislike him as I do, I would not nominate him for the services of a coroner.

It might take a coroner to figure out what the literal brainfuck is wrong with him.

Some forms of necessary diagnostics, the subject can’t be alive for.
