Mike's Blog Round Up
April 5, 2017

Good Wednesday morning, Crooks and Liars! Let's begin our day with a tweet that imagines a warm, father-son moment chez Trump:

The Immoral Minority wonders why Richard Nixon is smiling.

Mike the Mad Biologist fact checks Tom Price.

Badtux, the Snarky Penguin is keeping a little list.

First Draft is not impressed by the LA Times editorials. Fair points.

Bonus Track: Little Black Book: "To drive awareness and debate on International Women’s Day about how women are paid on average 25% less than men, J. Walter Thompson London has created a provocative outdoor campaign using clever word play to drive home just how offensive the world can seem with 25% missing." — it is NSFW, but very powerful.

And because I promised to link to the LA Times editorials:

Sunday's installment "Our Dishonest President"

Monday's installment "Why Trump Lies"

Tuesday's installment "Trump's Authoritarian Vision"

There will be one more in the series, and we will include it tomorrow.
