Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Republicans do not trust women.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

You cannot love your country only when you win.

No one could have predicted…

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

    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.

    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.
