Wishing everybody a Joyous Equinox!

Note: As of 1:00 am MST (that’s 4:00 EDT), Keith Olbermann had not posted his podcast. I haven’t had a chance to check again until now; he has TWO new podcasts uploaded for us.

Episode #37 is (finally) up. Here’s Olbermann’s summary. (I haven’t filled in the times, because today was buku busy for me, and I haven’t gotten to listen to it yet.)

DOJ’S LATE NIGHT FILING AGAINST TRUMP A-Block: SPECIAL COMMENT. I wonder if Trump has ever heard of Victor Marchetti? He will now. The Government's 1975 court victory over him defined who has to prove a Classified Document is STILL a Classified Document — and it ain’t the government. The Justice Department with a killer filing in its appeal of the Special Master ruling.

Even as the Special Master comes down on Trump like a ton of bricks. His insistence those are HIS documents because he declassified some of them but he can’t tell you which ones or when, is attacked by Special Master Dearie.

Who says “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.” Didn't somebody we all know use that same phrase yesterday? YES I DID.

If you think Trump’s lawyers are nitwits, wait’ll you hear Alina Habba not understand why it’s called an OCTOBER Surprise.

Trump also makes a dumb analogy about the search of his bedroom, while New York’s Attorney General may be ready to move.

And three of the asylum seekers DeSantis human-trafficked have filed a class action suit against him and he’s reduced to using the phrase “Onesie-Twosies.”

And Trump’s desperate neediness leads to one of the greatest Owns in Twitter history: Greg Proops flattens Maggie Haberman for all time. B-Block EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Hooch

POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Ron Johnson “condones” white supremacy; Bret “Mr. Journalist” Baier tried to get the Fox Arizona call retracted; Tucker Carlson may get more people hurt.

IN SPORTS: 60 homers for Judge, the passing of Maury Wills, three NHL vets retire.

THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The 1776 Restoration Movement scumbags compete with Ronna McDaniel and a ton of Fentanyl for Halloween, and the Australian TV hosts covering the Queen’s funeral, for the honors. C-Block: THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: 25 years since the head of the NBC part of MSNBC told me to ignore the head of the MS part of MSNBC. Andy Lack said they “were only supposed to give us money and computer terminals! Don’t tell ME that we have to ‘synergize’ cable television and the Internet — whatever the hell the Internet is!”

[Hmmm. Firefox doesn’t like the word “synergize” ...]

Episode #38 is also up. Here’s the summary.

A-Block: SPECIAL COMMENT: Remember the baptism scene in “The Godfather”? Where Michael has everybody whacked? Metaphorically, that was Trump’s Wednesday — only he was ALL 10 GUYS WHO GOT WHACKED. His Appeals Court appointees let the DOJ resume its investigation, declare declassification irrelevant .

Trump replies to Spokesmodel Sean Hannity that he could declassify documents just “by thinking about it” — BLINK ONE FOR CLASSIFIED, BLINK TWO FOR DECLASSIFIED. But the judges just said declassification is a red herring.

NY AG James’s lawsuit may hurt Trump more personally because he’s accused of not being THAT rich, and needing to be THAT rich is perhaps Trump’s only human emotion. [Hmmm … what was that quote about worshipping God and Mammon? — Prog.]

Two other court cases for Trumpand maybe one coming for Ron DeSantis.

And Trump Endorsee J.R. Majewski grabs what used to be the Third Rail of Politics: Lying about your military service. He didn’t fight in Afghanistan; he loaded cargo in Qatar. We’ll hear him recount his ordeal in Afghanistan that he didn’t have. B-Block EVERY DOG HAS ITS DAY: Koley

POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The Electoral Count Act, McCarthy Suffers Premature Jocularity, Tucker Carlson slanders the wrong Ontario teacher, the World Bank boss is a climate crisis denier, and Contagious Defenestration continues even as Russia destabilizes.

IN SPORTS: Buster Posey becomes management, Dayton Moore becomes ex-management, and why Aaron Judge's 60 Homers are not comparable to Babe Ruth’s 60 Homers (like McGwire's 70 Homers were not comparable to Ruth's 60).

THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politicians walk out of Greg Norman’s pitch for the Saudi Blood Money Golf Tour, and he competes with Ted Cruz and the NBA for the honors. C-Block: THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Sunday it’ll be 16 years since a guy sent me, at my home, an envelope he claimed was full of anthrax. What happened next, including The New York Post getting vengeance against me by printing a story that identified the real culprit of the anthrax story: Me.

I’ve heard the story in today’s (#38) C-Block. Even if it’s verbatim from before, it will be good.

48 days until the day after the midterms, when Donald Trump will be arrested (maybe). Good night and good luck.
