Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Peak wingnut was a lie.

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

I was promised a recession.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

The willow is too close to the house.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

    My question is why can’t Bristol just use the pill like 99% of women her age and leave us out of it.

    Don’t forget your Mötley Crüe t-shirt. You know, all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail.

    (I think my iPad autocorrected to put the umlaut over the o in Mötley!)

    Looking at the images, I thought, “ah, Dead Milkmen, Dead Kennedys, and Orly Taitz.”

    I have these LP’s in my record bin.

    Along with many 12 inch singles. (That phrase used to be a personal ad….)

    Consider that…………..

    I went out with Jello’s sister a couple of times in college. She was a cool girl from Boulder.

    My wife and I can’t pass a Camaro without breaking out in ‘bitchin’ camaro…’ Thankfully there are quite few here in the OC.

    Our kids think we’re insane. They have no style.

    What would really round out this sequence is… “Take the Skinheads Bowling.”

    And all this time I was under the impression you only liked Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, REO, you know, that kind of crap.

    I got to see the DKs once, probably on one of their last tours (’85 or ’86) at the Varsity Theatre in Palo Alto, CA. In terms of musicianship, they were miles ahead of any of the other punk bands of the time.

    Wow. I was really into these three bands back in 7th grade (85′) and they are still on my ipod to this day. Looking back all these years later – its all too obvious that we were much cooler than those dorky Jefferson Starship fans.

    @The prophet Nostradumbass:

    There are so many horrible decisions, it’s hard to argue.

    Or these judges unbelievably suck. I remember watching Chambers vs Peters. Chambers clearly won, but he didn’t win 9 of 10 rounds, and he sure as fuck didn’t draw. Oh fuck, at least they got the right result there.

    There is (or was) a band in the San Francisco area called The Dead Kenny Gs. From their mouths to God’s ear… just sayin’.

    @Mark S.:

    She has a TV show and fans to feed. Oh, and most importantly, a bank account to fill!

    Like her mother, she’s down with making a sleazy living.

    Boxing died for me when they gave it to Leonard over Hagler. It was all about the show because the show is what makes money. I stopped thinking it was any better than pro wrestling.

    I would donate a kidney to see video of Mr. Cole doing air guitar/vocals in his living room to Dead Kennedys. How anyone with such great taste in music was ever a Republican is beyond belief, although I used to suspect that people in the pit who were actually trying to hurt people were probably Rs.

    Tony Orlando and Dawn!

    The Dead Milkmens’ Middle-Atlantic (as opposed to Mid-Atlantic) accents weren’t quite as pronounced as I remembered.

    Prolly like mine, before I spent 30 years in Nashville.

    All of these numbers would be improved if the singers were cut and only the music remained. Or maybe a bouncing ball with the lyrics in sub-title. (I know, showing my age here.)

    Styling doesn’t excuse horrid singing.
