I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.
Stand up, dammit!
Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.
Books are my comfort food!
Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.
Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.
Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.
This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
“Alexa, change the president.”
It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.
Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.
The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.
Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?
If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.
The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Thanks! I am.

Don’t they drive on the wrong side of the street over there? And aren’t their teeth all crooked? By the way, have you tried boiled mutton yet?

Ahh, the Southwark bridge. You’re right in the heart of it all.
Walk on down to the Jubilee bridge, and take the London Eye for a spin.
I wish I could take a vacation this year. sniff

Love the Clash reference.

The Clash FTW.
Oh, er. What he said.
DougJ
Glad you caught it. The truth is, I hate English people generally, not so much because they starved my great-great-grandparents to death as because of Chris Hitchens and Coldplay. But my love for the Clash is the closest thing to religion that I can feel.

Oy! Clampdown = From God’s lips to my ears. FTW indeed, mate.

Hey! Glad you’re having a good time. Weather looks halfway reasonable.

But lately one or two has fully paid their due for working for the clampdown. Ha, getalong getalong.
Still, I like Spanish Bombs a lot more.

Much jealousy. Spent a semester studying there when I was in college. Love London.

Are things really as bad economically in the UK as reported?
Violet
I’ve love to hear your impressions on this, DougJ.
I wonder what tapes we’d take a look at now? Are there Iraq tapes? Investment bank tapes?
