Given Today's Surreal Manhattan Courtroom Events, Before USDC Judge Kimba Wood -- This 75 Year Anniversary Seems... Apt.


I will put together a quick graphic, but as the evening is slipping away -- I'll get this out without a graphic at first.

Michael Cohen's (court-ordered) reveal of Sean Hannity as a "client" -- followed within an hour by Mr. Hannity's "I am no client" declaration -- was entirely surreal. And it leaves me wondering whether, since Mr. Cohen is likely going to be charged with felonies anyway, if he's decided to cook up a cover (about Hannity) -- to hide his (purely speculative legal work) for. . . Donnie Jr., and what has now been coined as Mr. Cohen's specialty in the practice of law. . . negotiating what we have heard called. . . "Hide-A-Ho" arrangements. Hilarious. And almost Twilight Zone episode worthy.

And so. . . in an ironic echo -- 75 years ago this evening, at a Sandoz lab, the psycho-tropic LSD was first ingested, by Dr. Albert Hofmann:

. . . .In Basel, Switzerland, Albert Hofmann, a Swiss chemist working at the Sandoz pharmaceutical research laboratory, accidentally consumes LSD-25, a synthetic drug he had created in 1938 as part of his research into the medicinal value of lysergic acid compounds. . . .

After taking the drug, formally known as lysergic acid diethylamide, Dr. Hofmann was disturbed by unusual sensations and hallucinations. . . .


Indeed. And today was. . . one of those days. Now you know -- sleep well -- but don't dream of electric. . . Hannities or Cohens. . . I couldn't make this junk up, if I tried.
