The part of Thailand I most enjoyed was our day outside of Bangkok. We visited a Floating Market and arrived by boat. The boat was just like the ones in the James Bond movie, “The Man with a Golden Gun”. The Floating Market we visited had one section that was more tourist-focused, and another across a street that was for the locals.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

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

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

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

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

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

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…
