Spoken BY a classic narcissist, in a group filled with...narcissists...oh the delish irony, eh Hammy dear?

Vote fraud by Demotards - yes, but we're a long way past the "second time" for that one, Komrade Hammy.

Elms +1

(heckuva ballad right there)

"Claude Dallas was released (from prison) in February 2005, and since then he has been sighted living in Grouse Creek, Utah and in the Alaska wilderness."

Astounding that murdering 2 LE officers in cold blood only got him 30 years and 8 reduced for "good behavior"...

Perhaps if you understood the use of ghost-writers to aid non-writers in telling their story:

Trump: The Art of the Deal is a 1987 book written by future U.S. President Donald J. Trump and journalist Tony Schwartz. Part memoir and part business-advice book, it was the first book credited to Trump, and it helped to make him a household name.

To inform the content and style, Schwartz drew on the already-substantial archive of news, profiles and books about Trump as well as interviews with Trump associates. When interviews with Trump himself proved unproductive, the two struck on an unusual alternative: Schwartz listened in on Trump's office phone calls for several months to witness him in action. The experience was condensed into chapter one, "Dealing: A Week in the Life", which introduces the reader to countless boldface names and events. The chapter was excerpted in New York Magazine to promote the book and served as a blueprint for future autobiographies.

AI Overview

Several famous books linked to American presidents were written with the heavy help of ghostwriters or co-authors, including:

Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy, Trump: The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump, and An American Life by Ronald Reagan.

Key Presidential Books and Their Co-Authors/Writers

Profiles in Courage (1956) by John F. Kennedy:

Though credited solely to JFK and awarded the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for Biography, his speechwriter Theodore Sorensen did the heavy lifting on research and wrote the primary draft of most chapters. Sorensen confirmed his extensive authorship decades later.Trump:

An American Life (1990) by Ronald Reagan:

The former president's post-white house memoir relied heavily on the veteran journalist Robert Lindsey, who shaped Reagan's recorded voice and diaries into a fluid narrative autobiography.

It was a strange situation. I've been in the part of the Owyhee where it went down. iirc it was in '88, well before civilian GPS technology. There weren't many signs at all let alone a big one saying 'Idaho'. In any case you can't get to that part from Idaho. The fish cops from Boise had to go through Nevada and backtrack. Lot of work to catch someone who might have been reducing the bobcat population out of season if they were really Idaho bobcats.

I had one of my eeriest experiences there. I hiked up along the river on a trail. When I returned there was a jackrabbit head in the middle of the trail. I mean a perfect head that looked like it had been surgically removed and very little blood. I assumed it was a cat.

At the time there was a feeling around Boise that getting rid of Pogue was a public service and he was really on trial for killing Elms.

Your insights and reportage square with my take on matters too.

Perhaps you recall the Ed Cantrell case in Rock springs, Wyo. Pogue and Cantrell perhaps kindred LE officers to an extent.

State of Wyoming v. Ed Cantrell (officially the State of Wyoming v. Edward Lee Cantrell) was a state trial of Wyoming police officer Ed Cantrell for the killing of Michael Angel Rosa, an undercover narcotics agent in Rock Springs, Wyoming.Rosa had previously been working towards uncovering the immense corruption in the city.

After only three hours of deliberations, the jury accepted Cantrell's self-defense argument, and acquitted him of first-degree murder.

Famed lawyer Gerry Spence won the acquittal of Cantrell in what was deemed an "impossible case" ... Cantrell shot Rosa between the eyes with his .38 caliber pistol, claiming that Rosa was about to draw on him, other witnesses testified that Rosa had a wine bottle between his legs

No, I didn't know about that one. It sounds messy but Spence's silver tongue saved the day.

I don't recall a lot of drama about Pogue except that he was a hard ass. Being a fish cop doesn't win a lot of popularity contests. A friend wanted to be a cop but ran into catch-22. To get a job you had to graduate from the state academy and you more or less had to be a cop to go to the academy. He took a seasonal job as a game officer and that would do the trick. He was amazed that hunters that he had caught almost with the smoking gun would stand there and lie.

I'm not sure he was ready for law enforcement but the last I knew he was a cop in a little eastern Montana town where breaking up bar fights and rescuing cats were the usual pattern. Big guy and a former Golden Gloves fighter I think he had the bar brawls dialed in. Very laid back so the cats probably liked him too.

Some of my cousins were cops. Putting on a uniform doesn't change the personality. The assholes remained assholes, the nice guys didn't get bitter despite the job.

He later would get even bigger ink in the Silkwood plutonium case.

Like children frankly.

It would be maddening on a regular basis.

Boaters and intoxication - another 100% decouple from reality when caught.

Long as it wasn't Rosebud...

Rez action is super flashpoint crap and jurisdictional overlap.

Human nature is fairly consistent, despite how we'd like to think it gyrates at will.

Because of course a 3rd party contractor squabble is far more important that sealing our borders, repelling criminal invaders, and insuring fair and transparent elections.

Yeah right...you utterly stupid leftarded clownshow.
