Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Bark louder, little dog.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

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

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

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

You cannot shame the shameless.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Readership Capture: DC Meet Up – Monday, May 16

Shakezula at LGM scoops us! —

You might think you know commentarion efgoldman, the resident Trumpeter against Trump. But how much do you really know? Is he a Bach man or a Yamaha fan? Silver or brass? And what about those strangely persistent flugelhorn rumors?

Well, he and Mme. efgoldman are in the DMV, possibly because they’re plotting to steal the trumpet from Gideon on top of the Mormon temple in Kensington, possibly not.

If you’re in the area, you can scope them out Mon. May 16, at Fado Irish Pub, 5:30ish until the authorities arrive. Fado is at 808 7th Street N.W., near Metro Center and Gallery Place stations, i.e. all of the Metro lines…

Leave a comment here if you’re interested, or need more info — I’ll make sure EFG sees this. If you’re shy, you can send me an email (click on my name in the righthand column, or annelaurie at verizon dot net) and I’ll forward it to him.

    It’s certainly metro-accessible, so I’ll be there, barring unforseen catastrophes.

    I’m going to do my very best, but I’m coming in from Baltimore. Hopefully the metro is working properly at that time.

    Oh, how I wish I lived closer! This sounds like quite the gathering :-)

    We should do an NYC meetup sometime. I’ve never gone to one of the ones we had in the past here.

    I would also be interested to source out interest to do one on June 15 in San Francisco. It’d have to start not too late, as I need to drive out to Silicon Valley for the night, but I would be up for seeing some Bay Area Juicers.

    Damn! so sorry to miss it. Haven’t been back to DC in years, not since my grandmother died and I no longer had a reason to go.

    @PsiFighter37: You understand Bay area juicers are people that live in the greater San Francisco area and abuse steroids, right?

    ETA: “Stoner producers the Krofts, eh?” “Surprised?” What are you *really* saying here, Dr. Silverman? ; )

    I’ll try to be there! Long time lurker, but willing to de-lurk to meet some BJ friends..

    @Adam L. Silverman

    Sid and Marty Krofft (two Fs) have forever denied that base canard.

    Just sayin’.

    Can remember the cranial disconnect of viewing Howard Cosell introducing the Bay City Rollers on American TV.

    @NotMax: Yeah, yeah, they *say* that, but…”H.R. Puffenstuff”? “*Lidsville*”, for God’s sake? They may not have been huffing the Wacky Tobacky, but some of their writers sure as hell had to have been…

    @Travels with Charley: Greetings! Love your nym. Wish I were going to be there, too!

    Miss Bianca

    @NotMax: OMG – that one was so bad I had completely forgotten about it! But that intro made me crack up so badly I had to let the dogs out – they were staring at me with incredible concern. Thanks (I think?) for that one – can you imagine being one of the actors in that turkey? Sitting in some bar years later listening to some drunk say, “Hey – hey! I’ve got it! Weren’t you in The Bugaloos?”!

    @efgoldman: true, very true, efg. I do so wish I were going to be at this meet-up, how delightful it would be to meet you and mrs efg face-to-face! Perhaps if I get out to Maine this summer to meet with my sibs, as they are clamoring for, we could make that an excuse for a Boston rave-up, if you all don’t find one before that.

    I would love to be there but I am seeing a lecture by Buzz Aldrin that night at Nat Geo. Pout.

    @Adam L Silverman: Was one of them Cockney? They all sounded Aussie to me…which is also weird, when you think about it, unless the show was produced in Australia…

    @eemom:

    A front-pager and person of note at Lawyers, Guns & Money.

    Hey, we’re not the only ones with a fucked-up website! When you hover over a front-pager’s name at the top of LGM’s home page, you see a drop-down list below it of links you can go to. But as soon as you move off the person’s name the list disappears before you can actually click on any of the items. Cool!

    I can probably make it. My only concern is how we find each other. I haven’t been to Fado in a bit but I remember the layout being a bit challenging.

    Redshift

    Much belated, since I broke my phone and wasn’t online much this weekend, but I’m planning to be there, and hopefully Ms. Redshift as well.

    Going to try and make it, but a) new job isn’t especially Metro-friendly and b) just got my firat paycheck and promptly handed it to the landlord,… so I might have to pass.
