Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL.

Come on, man.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Cole, when it comes to calico cats, restraint is overrated.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

Fuck that bum, let’s go Joe!

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

ha ha ha! Nice try weird people.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Second rate reporter says what?

    I said this yesterday, but I’ll say it again, I am officially a Blu-Ray Disc convert. Shit it’s gonna take a lot of time & money to get all my DVDS on BluRay. don’t they have a Blu-ray clearinghouse like the used to have for CD?

    The first movie I watched was Hellboy 2: The Golden Army before going to see Man of Steel. I enjoyed it. I went to see it with my sister and we both had the same reaction. She leaned over to me and said “my god, this Superman dude is pretty hot”. Man that Henry Cavill sure is easy on the eyes aint he…geez.

    Anyway, my sister saw This Is The End and she loved it. Anyone see it?

    Jack Taylor is on my list of things to watch. Just finished watching The Fall and it was excellent. It was dark and creepy and yet so good. Thanks to the person here who recommended it.

    For Father’s Day we are watching Dean Spanley again! I recommend it for the dog lovers here plus Peter O’Toole, Sam Neill, Jeremy Northam and Bryan Brown make up the small cast.

    On the Netflix front, also check out “Top of the Lake.” Elizabeth Moss is good, and the rest of the cast is great, in a kind-of spooky drama/thriller thing. Only 7 episodes. Holly Hunter does cray-cray beautifully.

    First baseball game with my daughter. She did great–made it through 7th inning stretch. Great times. Padres ended up beating the d-bags as well.

    hmm, bringing my Inuyasha phase to a close and mainlining Kamisama Hajimemashita again, but I’m interested in the Israeli series “Prisoner of War”. Anyone ever seen it?

    A decent TV series I pick is, Killing Time starring David Wenham as Douglas Fraser a top-notch lawyer whose fame starts a downward trend for his career.

    The ‘Borgias’ has an awesome/hideous scene with Ser Jorah as a priest who ‘comes to grief.’

    Two Netflix suggestions for Cole and people with Colesque viewing preferences: End of Watch and The Man from Nowhere (violent Korean film sort of like The Professional…intellectually I know I shouldn’t have liked it but there you go).

    Hey, John, have you corrected your & Anne’s embarrassing mistake last night of tweeting and blogging the infamous Paulbot Libertarian anti-Gore, anti-climate change CNET “political writer” claiming that he was smart enough to infer from a conversation that the NSA is secretly listening to everyone’s calls & reading your emails?

    Does it at all matter to you to stand up and do the right thing and show that you & Anne were duped and you were not smart enough to check out his background or this statement from Nadler first saying it is a LIE?

    ‘Cabin in the Woods.’ It’s campy but, as a self-described horror snob, it’s a damn fun movie.

    Second vote for Top of the Lake – compelling, sad with some offbeat humor, excellent acting, very much a feminist work (it’s created & directed by Jane Campion). I liked The Fall as well, but not as much – in some ways it seemed like a direct copy of Lake, and the level of violence is torture porn-like at times. And the “finale” was a grievous cheat, unlike Lake.

    Recommending Rectify for those who haven’t tried it; one of the most complicated protagonists ever, superbly conveyed by Aden Young. Heartbreaking stuff, but somehow uplifting too. The theme song – “Bowsprit” by the Austin-based ensemble Balmorhea – is a stunning piece of music. With a banjo!

    I highly recommend this series on Netflix called Jack Taylor.

    Dude from “Game of Thrones” is pretty badass.

    Went to see “This is The End” and it was fantastic. Worth sitting through 20 minutes of insipid commercials and 15 minutes of previews for shitty summer movies starring Adam Sandler and Bruce Willis.

    @ruemara: “Eden of the East.” Incredibly absurd but just enough on the side of believable to work. And very nicely drawn as well.

    @Yatsuno: I saw your comment the next day about your niece’s travel plans. I am not sure how much help I can be, since I haven’t really traveled much in the northern India and haven’t really been to any of the parts she will be visiting. I have mostly traveled in the south and the west and know Bombay/Mumbai really well

    @JD Rhoades:

    Hey, I’ve read (most of) those! They are good.

    The TV series didn’t register because “Jack Taylor” is such a bland name.

    @schrodinger’s cat: From what I understand now it will be mostly a tour group, so there won’t be much wandering off. On the one hand I think that’s the safest way to go, on the other it sounds pretty structured and the best way to travel sometimes is just wandering off the beaten path. She’ll have a great time regardless.
