Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Bark louder, little dog.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Second rate reporter says what?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

In my day, never was longer.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

I really should read my own blog.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

We still have time to mess this up!

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

You can’t love your country only when you win.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

    You know what TE? If you want to throw venom at me for no reason I can fathom I frankly don’t give a shit. I spent my time in the Democratic trenches and gave money that I don’t have in every election since ’00. If you think that I’m not fit to kiss your ring that really isn’t my problem.

    But sure, I changed the post. Don’t go away mad, and all that.

    heh, pretty awful video. i’m kind of curious now to see movie it came from – forbidden zone. allmovie guide gives it a pretty awesome/terrible review…

    Oingo Boingo fans and midnight movie mavens will love this bizarre black-and-white feature packed with music, madness, and members of the Elfman clan. The story revolves around the Hercules family, who live in a house that just happens to hide a secret entrance to the Sixth Dimension in the basement. When daughter Frenchy (Marie-Pascale Elfman) skips school one afternoon, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to the forbidden door, and winds up a prisoner in this alternate world. King Fausto (Herve Villechaize), the diminutive leader of the Sixth Dimension, is enamored with the beautiful young Frenchy and keeps her in the same cell as his favorite concubines, despite the disapproval of Queen Doris (Susan Tyrrell). Frenchy’s brother, Flash (Phil Gordon), follows her into the Forbidden Zone with Gramps (Hyman Diamond) in tow, intending to save her, but they too are captured and must call school chum Squeezit (Toshiro Baloney, aka Matthew Bright) for help. Squeezit tries to assist, but ends up captured and decapitated by Satan (Danny Elfman), though this development doesn’t keep his disembodied noggin from flying about and informing King Fausto that the Queen is planning to dispose of his beloved Frenchy. The appearance of the King’s first wife and the kidnapping of his topless daughter further confuse matters, but everything is wrapped up neatly with an elaborate song and dance number at the conclusion.

    Forbidden Zone was a hell of a thing. Back in the day, we used to play it to drive the yuppies out. Sometimes it worked and sometimes the yups “got” the condemnation of Reagan Era morality.

    Coming right after your John post I think that I read your comment in (one could say) the wrong frame of mind. Everything’s cool as long as you don’t count this weird codependent thing you and John have going.

    Remember a review of some indie film festival in Tokyo where the reviewer provided a bemused so-bad-it’s-good synopsis of a film titled “Sheila and the Brainstem” which included, if I remember correctly, a series of gas stations with trapdoors to the 7th dimension….

    The other show explained this mistake. The real answer was they wanted warriors and annialated everything else.

    As far as where he’s from, that’s why ‘they’ want peace instead of instantanous ceasement of everything put in existence.

    I saw “Sheila and the Brainstem” in the 1990s when it was on South African television – I forget which channel. I didn’t realize until I tried to find it again more recently quite how rare a privilege this was.
