Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

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

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Via Gawker, the Telegraph informs us that the race is on to make the first 3D porn movie:

Hong Kong director Christopher Sun is currently filming his $3.2 million ‘3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy’, which is due for release in May, but Italian director Tinto Brass has already announced he will produce a 3D remake of his 1979 erotic film Caligula…
__
Producer Stephen Shiu said: “This is the future of the movie business — it’s human nature to want to see things in 3D.”
__
Adding to the pressure, the American company Hustler is making a pornographic spoof of 3D science fiction blockbuster Avatar…

The (possibly NSFW) Gawker comments are… interesting. My favorite: “I’m a huge 3-D porn enthusiast. I call it ‘sex.'”

    I have the headphones on (yeah, headphones not buds) listening to “The Very Best of Ray Charles”. Seriously, the best album ever.

    Georgia…Ohh, Georgia!

    I found out earlier tonight how unnerving the call of a pissed-off great horned owl can be when you’re letting the dogs out late at night. Yikes. The doggies weren’t thrilled, either. Looks like they’ll be holding it for a while.

    @TrishB: That sucks. I know when I let my little girl (chihuahua mix) out at night, I’m like, “Go, go, go, are we done yet?

    Apropos of nothing, really, just checked in over at Malkin’s place to see what she’s been outraged about lately, and had a good laugh… it seems the wingnuts are claiming the President didn’t go swimming in the Gulf today at all, instead swimming in St. Andrew Bay in Panama City. Which is NOT the Gulf of Mexico. It’s just NOT, OK? So the President is a big cowardly liar, and since his lying liberal media enablers reported that he went for a swim in the actual Gulf, that just proves that they’re all on Journolist, or something.

    It just never freaking ends with these people.

    I could be wrong, but I doubt 3D Sex & Zen will actually be “porn”. The Sex & Zen series is more soft core (Hong Kong Category 3), with plots, and little male frontal nudity – think a very hard R, instead of X.

    (And no, I’m not a connoisseur of HK pr0n. I’m familiar with the Sex & Zen series because the original film was based on a book I like: The Carnal Prayer Mat, an erotic comic novel by Li Yu, from 17th C. China.)

    @chaseyourtail: Moved on to Floyd, did you?

    Given how gross most of the guys in porn are and given how plasticky and fake the women are, I’ll pass.

    @Joseph Nobles: Goddamn it. I really have to start watching that show. However, I am a huge fan of the books, so I am strangely reluctant to watch.

    I can just see the blurb quotes for the ads.

    “So real, I could smell the silicone!”

    @asiangrrlMN: I’m reading the books now — I’m on Definitely Dead. I am really enjoying them both. However, certain plot lines are accelerated in the TV show (to the point where I spoiled a friend only halfway through the books on a certain subject about to be revealed in the series – I was SURE she’d have known what I said!).

    It’s also the expansion of story lines. That’s my only tiny, minor complaint about the books. They are all from Sookie’s POV. The series lets us follow Jason, Tara, Lafayette, Bill… And they’re doing a fine job with it. I’d give the first couple of episodes of the first season a try. You can always quit! :D

    and this is wrong because? and I agree, I haven’t watched porn in years…the new stuff is weird.

    @asiangrrlMN:
    Well, it seems obvious, but only a woman can put it on paper for men. Coz, you see, men are not supposed to express themselves that way, they are supposed to be strong and have a winning attitude all the time, otherwise it might sound girly and gossipy coming from a man.
    Another one she didn’t cover was “crying”, how men are never supposed to cry and be mentally strong in any situation and fix a flat tire on the go.

    @asiangrrlMN:
    These kind of expectations do tend to produce many twisted fucks in public life, just look at the conservative side of the aisle, look at their leaders, they are the most mentally repressed mind-fucks ever to grace politics. The democrats OTOH seem to produce likeable characters who then are made to look like sissies by the republican propaganda.

    @stuckinred: Heh. So maybe he’s not a real man since he’s orange?

    @roshan: Yes. It’s like the male stereotype on crack, sad to say. Out of the list, the only one I really care about is fixing things since I am not great in that department. However, since I am not very stereotypically feminine, I don’t particularly want an uber-masculine male.

    This is America’s future.

    After hollowing out our country, we’ll be good for nothing but sex tourism and drug tourism and showcasing the exotic arts and crafts of the strange natives (hootenannies, rodeos, gun shows, waterboarding displays).

    We can confidently look forward to a vibrant future in which our children run alongside the elegant cars of foreign tourists shouting, “Hey, mister, wanna buy a date with my sister?”

    There’s already an old 3D John Holmes movie. It was pretty funny. I saw it at a packed out movie theater in Denver about 10 years ago. I forget the name of the film, but whatever…

    I’m still laughing from last night’s ep!! Best last scene of the entire series so far.

    But will he coax Helen Mirren(*) to reprise her Caligula role. Even at 65 her, um, assets, in 3D, will still be worth watching.
