DeSantis transforms Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

The revolution will be supervised.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

This fight is for everything.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

    Gee, Republicans lose congressional seats over such indescretions. It certainly is nicer to be a Democrat, but I’d have to have my conscience removed and my IQ lowered.

    I’m sure that if his version turns out to be true and no charges are ever filed (there doesn’t appear to be any yet) that you will issue a swift and public apology and retraction? Probably not. Why waste good snark potential for the truth?

    I’m sure the Chicago Tribune is all over this, since they wanted to know what a husband asked his wife in sealed papers a few months back.

    Damn Republicans! What kind of people would take an innocent Good Samaritan and make him look like a john? Dammit, the man saw a woman who had obviously been in a wreck on the way to a night out dancing. There she was, stumbling around in her dance-floor stilleto heels and leather mini-skirt, obviously dazed from a collison that not only disabled her car and put her afoot, but also knocked her bra and panties clean off! And she was just kneeling in gratitude before the man who stopped to help her when the jack-booted Nazi stormtroopers burst in! Bastards!

    Story Update:

    “The charges were dropped against Hollowell were dropped when it was determined that the ‘female’ prostitute that he had picked up was actually David Brock in a cocktail dress. ‘Yes, he’s a prostitute–but not the kind that falls under our jurisdiction,” commented the police spokesman. ‘Mr. Hollowell’s consorting with him was therefore distasteful and represented an utter lack of human dignity–but it did not break the law. We apologize for the misunderstanding.'”*

    To Mr. Hollowell’s credit, he did the smart thing: immediately distance himself from every powerful politician who might be embarassed by association with him. They won’t be happy with him, but they’ll remember that he threw himself on the grenade that he dropped. Anyone who tries too hard to associate him with Senator Kerry will now just look partisan.

    I wish more politicians would demonstrate even this tiny bit of opportunistic shame when they get caught in a scandal.

    Mr. Eiland,

    Please, these monitor wipes are expensive, as is this Kona coffee. Please, in the future, place a prominant label on any DSNS articles that a deeply hilarious.
