    I didn't make it to even the quarter pole. So I guess we found out where Ragu works.

    My good friend has the exact same name as someone on the list. They've both worked at NYC magazines as writers and editors for years. Over the years they've gotten emails and snail mail meant for the other. The guy's behavior was chronicled before so my friend's had to deal with this already but the list put it on another level. No one's called him out mistakenly or anything publicly, but he has had many people send him the list and say, "Dude, you're on it!" Jokingly. But it's still wearing on him and he really, really, really dislikes his namesake.

    My wife asked me if my name was on it. I told her I thought the people on it were more prominent than me.

    That was the wrong answer.

    CNN has apparently cleared Ryan Lizza.

    He was her faith adviser. LOL.

    A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign who was accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a young subordinate was kept on the campaign at Mrs. Clinton’s request, according to four people familiar with what took place.

    Mrs. Clinton’s campaign manager at the time recommended that she fire the adviser, Burns Strider. But Mrs. Clinton did not. Instead, Mr. Strider was docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling, and the young woman was moved to a new job.

    Mr. Strider, who was Mrs. Clinton’s faith adviser, a co-founder of the American Values Network, and sent the candidate scripture readings every morning for months during the campaign, was hired five years later to lead an independent group that supported Mrs. Clinton’s 2016 candidacy, Correct the Record, which was created by a close Clinton ally, David Brock.

    Next up: Steve Wynn, per WSJ. Story paywalled, but push notification says he "engaged in a pattern of sexual misconduct, according to dozens of interviews."
