Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Books are my comfort food!

In my day, never was longer.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

He really is that stupid.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

Nothing worth doing is easy.

We still have time to mess this up!

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

    I am seriously going to have to work “She plays a good kazoo while driving” into a conversation somewhere.

    John….she does Deal as well. In the van.

    Best damn Deal in a van I’ve ever heard. :)

    I Can’t Go For That is seriously a song I could listen to at any time or any place.

    I almost like this cover better than the real thing. It has a nice, clean sound. In a fucking car.

    that is pretty awesome.

    i love the implied wit, in how shocking it is to hear people in a car sing on key, much less harmonizing.

    though that crazy train minivan commercial almost killed it, it still gets me, because when ever someone opens their mouth to sing in a vehicle, i brace for the worst.

    Galafinakis did a comedy tour a few years ago where the entire troupe was in a van. Funny stuff.

    i love that it’s in a car and that there’s road noise (and a kazoo)! very original but damn you John for making me listen to a Hall & Oates song, even if I never thought it could sound that good.

    You know how I know I’ve become an old stick-in-the-mud parent? All I can think of is “Why are they not wearing their seat belts?”.

    All I can say is, when I try this in the back of a New York City taxi, the taxi driver never really manages to harmonize with me as well as these guys do.

    Plus, the drivers always, always butcher the lyrics. It’s “easy ready willing overtime”, not “easy riders will I over time”. C’mon dude, that doesn’t even make sense….

    That was great! I’m really impressed. And who a kazoo could be rocked. I’ve learned something new.

    I’ll have to check them out for sure.

    @Genine:

    And who[knew]a kazoo could be rocked.

    Go see Carolina Chocolate Drops sometime. Kazoo or not, go see CCD anytime you can.

    This vid was making the FB rounds earlier this week. They’ve got a whole series of Van Sessions, which are uniformly excellent. But this was my fav.

    Somewhat OT but does anyone know whether Scalia sang “I Can’t Go For That” and demanded a “limiting principle” when he granted the federal government power under the Commerce Clause to forbid the growing of marijuana for personal use, in Gonzales v. Raich?

    Specifically, did he ask the Solicitor General–musically or otherwise–whether, if the federal government is allowed to criminalize the growing of cannabis for personal use in your garden, can’t they then also criminalize the growing of broccoli for personal use in your garden?
