Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

No one could have predicted…

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

    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.
