Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Hot air and ill-informed banter

I Can’t Believe Mozzie is Gone

I Can't Believe Mozzie is GoneIf this has been talked about here, I missed it.  I adored Mozzie on White Collar and I loved his guest appearances on Hawaii Five-0.  I never watched Sex and the City, but he was a bright light in everything I saw him in.

This last tweet from him made me cry.

He was so young.  I never knew his name until tonight.  He will always be Mozzie to me.

    Yeah, dude was basically my age. Yikes. Mozzie was a great character and I doubt anyone else could have played him. RIP

    Yes! I, too remember him mainly from White Collar, not Sex and the City, but I couldn’t remember the character’s name. “Mozzie” brings back many more memories.

    I just finished a rewatch of Good Place… White Collar may need to be next on my rewatch list.

    He will be missed. May his memory be a blessing.

    I adored him in White Collar…and as others have said, he was great in everything he was in and it sounds like he was an amazing person and most of all, an excellent dad.

    Amen, said the atheist. Be kind, always, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

    He seemed to be a charming fellow. I knew him from “Sex in the City” but it was always nice to see him in other unexpected programs. I read that he had pancreatic cancer. It’s sad

    There’s a great picture that Matt Bomer, I believe, posted of Matt and Willie sitting on a couch.  Matt is hugging Willie and smiling.

    loved him in white collar.  that was what my wife came up with as well, whereas I expected her to come up with sex and the city, which I only watched to understand what she was talking about.

    sadly, I got him confused with Stanley Tucci.  Even sadder, I managed to occasionally confuse Stanley Tucci with Tony Shaloub, mainly because of the hair, I think.

    Mentioned the death reported of Melvin Van Peebles downstairs. Also will note the same of Peter (Abner Yokum) Palmer.

    I might have seen him in one of a few Sex & the City episodes I caught; never saw/barely heard of White Collar; yet he seemed very familiar to me. He also was in Groundhog Day and Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead, and since I enjoy well-done little character parts those must be why I remember him. I’m sure he will be missed.

    @Omnes Omnibus:

    My father, who’s 59, was just telling me tonight that a lot people he went to school with his age as well as people he used to race modifieds with in his 20s have died recently. Heart attacks and heart failures, mostly. He had actually been experiencing pressure in his neck and shortness of breath. Went in for a checkup and they found he was at severe risk of a “widow’s maker” heart attack. Had a procedure done in February to clear the blockage.

    My dad could’ve easily been those people if it hadn’t been caught in time. Pretty scary to think about

    I never really watched Sex & the City or White Collar but I remember him in Groundhog Day as Phil’s assistant Kenny. Dude was a good actor and funny. RIP. I’ll have to watch White Collar sometime.

    I was pretty shocked to hear Michael K. Williams had died a few weeks ago, too, of The Wire and Boardwalk Empire fame

    White Collar was a great show, in large part because of him. The fact that he played Lee Harvey Oswald three times is perfect.

    (Also went to my school, I think 5 years ahead of me.)

    RIP

    He was great in everything I ever saw him in.  But I just loved his Stanford from Sex in the City.  To me, he was Carrie’s truest best friend. I loved Stanford.  RIP.

    He first caught my eye as Henry Coffield, the neurotic tenant who came with the apartment building unexpectedly inherited by Detective Bobby Simone on NYPD Blue. I also recognized him on Star Trek: Voyager once, more from his voice than his face. RIP
