Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

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

I really should read my own blog.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

Let there be snark.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

    See down here in the Southeast they have what they call “Beach Music”. It’s actually soul music that was popular for folks doing The Shag. Having grown up partly in LA Beach Music was Dick Dale and the Deltones, The Surfari’s. Jan and Dean and you know who.

    Shall you be there in person?

    Pretty cool father and daughter. Not a Doo Wop fan myself. I was a 50s child who spent a hell of a lot of time with older cousins given the nature of extended families then. They loved it, but inoculated me.

    Last time I was stationed in the States (mid-’70s) there was one day some radio station in the DC area devoted a whole afternoon, maybe the whole day, to a capella doo-wop. I can’t imagine how I was listening to it, but I liked it. I was amazed there was so much a capella doo-wop. I didn’t even realize before I heard that that doo-wop was a genre. I still make sure to put both disks of American Grafitti in my library every time I have to restore my hard drive.
