Dozens of former prosecutors and DOJ officials have signed a letter of outrage over FBI Director Comey's unprecendented terse note—interjected into the final days of a presidential election—needlessly notifying Congress that he was going to look into some new emails found on a device owned by Anthony Weiner.
In spite of some arguments that Comey had to inform Congress, those in the know on both sides of the aisle argue he not only didn't have to but should never have done this.
The letter pales in comparison to the seething letter from outgoing Sen. Harry Reid, who personally attacked Comey by reminding him that he had fought on his behalf for confirmation, and now regrets the fuck out of it. Burn.
The second page of Harry Reid's screed is the kicker!
Far from a simple criticism, Reid's letter also purports that Comey violated the law ... and asserts Comey is willfully sitting on info that Trump's campaign has explicit ties to Russian interests.
Reid does not talk out of his ass. Remember his comments about Trump's taxes?
Comey is toast November 9, however, the issue now is how damaging his actions will be to Hillary Clinton's campaign—if at all. The polls were already tightening, but early voting, demographics and Hillary's GOTV efforts all eclipse Trump where it counts, in the Electoral College.
Still, could this timely reminder that Hillary has an email problem work some voters' last nerve on the topic and suppress their turnout or flip them from blue to red?
We won't know for sure until November 8 in the evening.

You need a little (Boy) Culture!
It blows my mind to realize that Boy Culture is now eight years old. I can still remember the joy I felt when I figured out how to post, how to upload an image and how to embed a video. I remember every time a post blew up, bringing in hits and new viewers. I remember the longtime commenters, the trolls, the spam and the never-ending (and validating!) pitches and free tickets and photographers' snaps of half- or all-naked male models.
Shooting for my blog has never been a drag.
I've used Boy Culture to express myself, to help express others and to connect to people internationally.
I've also used it to show off my humor (both high and low), to flaunt my obsessions, to reality-test my sexual diversions and perversions, to laud the art I love, to lash out against the enemies of gay people and to broadcast my admiration for Madonna.
I want to thank you all for having read this blog over the years. It's a very hard thing to maintain, and it will not be maintained forever. But each time I get some positive (or even just meaningful) feedback, each time my posts are shared on social media, each time something I've written elicits a response, it keeps me going that much longer.
Madonna's stepmother was not impressed.
Thank you. Please enjoy my 100 favorite posts, please let me know if you're reading any old ones for the first time and are liking them and, most of all, please share this entire post far and wide to help get my work out there.

I've gotten way into lists. Way. You'll find more of my lists higher up on, uh, this particular list. But the ones that are just completely random go here because I worked my ass off on them, because I love them and because—judging from Quantcast data—you like 'em, too.
