Because everyone knows it’s O’Reichlly who’s like Hitler! And you must never contact me again! Hillary’s Failure to Report “Charitable” Transactions Bipartisan: “The details of the Clintons’ charitable family foundation and Senator Clinton’s role in it have always been publicly available, but, in an oversight that leaders of both parties have made, it was inadvertently omitted from her Senate filing, which has been corrected,” Hillary Clinton’s press secretary, Philippe Reines,

Turns out that all of the Little Feat shows in Jamaica last month that I wrote about here were recorded, and they’re now in my hot little hands.  So if you’d like a taste of what that was like, just picture a big stage, with a resort on the left and the white sands of Negril on the right.  I’m the guy in the “Phil Lesh and Friends” t-shirt.
