Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

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

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

The words do not have to be perfect.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

White supremacy is terrorism.

T R E 4 5 O N

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

“But what about the lurkers?”

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

So many bastards, so little time.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

    Brett Michaels wrote this song in a laundromat after he found out his stripper girlfriend had been cheating on him.

    When I heard that story, I knew god was in his heaven, and all was right with the world.

    This song is not metal. This song isn’t even hair metal. This song is 100% high fructose corn syrup and a deadly hazard to anyone diabetics in the vicinity. A pox on you for digging it out of the back-vaults of the internons.

    Bah. Last night I go to bed early, and John posts Zappa. Tonight I’m up and get…….this.

    God hates me.

    Here’s some old Outkast to flush the Poison from everyone’s system.

    Hard to believe that was released before invading Iraq, or even 9/11.

    @Will: Ha. The number of karaoke crash and burns I have seen on this song alone I could write a volume about. It’s not hard to do at all (and I freely confess I’m a karaoke ringer) but even then it can be sung very very badly.

    @Will: I hate this song. Hate hate hate hate hate this song. Hate it. Hate every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hate the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hate the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.

    Will:

    Were you in junior high when this song came out…

    In ’88? No I was 23, and into The Replacements, Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Prince, Jane Siberry, Rickie Lee Jones, New Order, REM, Let’s Active, NWA, The Geto Boys, The Pixies, etc.

    But when I was in junior high, the big slow dance songs were Freebird, Stairway to Heaven, and Come Sail Away.

    And I hated every one of those fucking songs too, still do. So I’m guessing I’d feel the same way about Poison even if I’d been in junior high at the time.

    Anyway, I’m just a long time pseudo-hipster douchebag asshole, gone slightly overweight and slightly bald – like Prufrock. Nothing personal.

    @MikeJ: Wow. Great song, but that video is terrible – although strangely likable. It must be the puppy. And the totally amateur quality. And the cliched 80’s clothes and hairdos. Surprisingly good sound, though.

    Or maybe that’s not so surprising, given Mitch Easter’s production chops.

    @Yutsano: FYWP locked me out earlier today, and even after that I had to log back in — twice. Perhaps there was an “upgrade”, or maybe it just hates us for making it work harder.

    Sweet, I get to use some of the useless trivia that makes up most of what I teach.

    Botanically speaking, roses do not have thorns. Thorns are modified stems. Spines, like on cacti, are modified leaves. So what do roses have? Prickles. Prickles are epidermal extensions (the equivalent of a sharp bump growing out of your skin). One of my favorite times each year is the groan I get out of my students when I serenade them with, “every rose has its prickle”.
