Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Come on, man.

All hail the time of the bunny!

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

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

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

This fight is for everything.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Everybody saw this coming.

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

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

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

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

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

I know you Left-Coasters tend to get stuck with the nasty bits, so here’s a nice memory, as a treat.

Mr. Souza has one hell of a fine eye for just the right moment…

    I spent the last 24 hours fuming about my useless senator, Sinema, who reminds me of every kid in high school that didn’t get the lead part in the annual school play. Except they just sulked dramatically, instead of gleefully breaking democracy. So thank you for the lovely memory, AL!

    Nice photo! I was there – in the building, at least. About that time, I was watching the Grateful Dead perform in tuxedos. Some time afterward, as they made the circuit if the various balls, the Obamas came and had a dance at ours. Quite a memory.

    @lgerard: Yeah.  Something just expands a little in the chest area when Denzel starts to announce.  Another prince of a man.

    I rememer once reading the meet-cute of the Obamas: Michelle Robinson was an associate at the law firm where Barack Obama interviewed for his first law firm job.  She interviewed him.  Love it.

    That guy just cannot stop being charming. But I’m not sure that Michelle is totally buying it this evening — she has a look that many wives in old couples will recognize.

    I still love them both, even if her patience is not infinite. In part because her patience is not infinite.

    So I’m looking at sectional charts to familiarize myself with them and noticed these bright orange circles on the LA sectional around LAX, Redlands and San Bernardino.  Says it’s a TFR(Temporary Flight Restriction), click on it for the NOTAM(Notice to Airmen), says VIP.  Looks like MVP is going to be in town.

    The FBI’s search of Henry Cuellar’s Texas home got a lot of coverage in national and local media. Agents also visited his local office in Laredo. Reporting is that the investigation centers on several businessmen with a conection to the former Soviet state of Azerbaijan. Cuellar is co-chair of the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus. A Caucasus Caucus, so to speak.

    @Geminid: Nothing personal, just wondering how long the “former Soviet” adjective will be used. The USSR ended over 30 years ago. One could just write “Azerbaijan” and have it clearly understood, I would think.

    @Gin & Tonic: I would not have done this with a better known country. I thought of writing Azerbaijan straight, but I thought it was not a well known country so I figured people could better identify it with the appellation of “former Soviet state.” I certainly did not mean to diminish it in any way.

    @Baud: Meatloaf appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice, and had a little bit of a friendship going with Trump. When a reporter asked Mr. Loaf whether he thought Trump would make a good  President, he replied, actually Trump would make a good economic advisor because he’s good at finance. Trump blew up at Meatloaf, thought he’d been insulted. This was not that long before Trump announced.

    @Steeplejack (phone): l am at the point in my packing that l have debated with myself about packing my old vinyl. Just packed Bat out Hell yesterday.

    Side note, can’t pitch old albums. Just can’t.

    @Gin & Tonic: And now I see that Azerbaijan is not a “country  bordering Turkey.” It borders Iran. What did your son think? Did the Armenians and Azerbaijani’s have much to fight about?
