Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

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

Nothing worth doing is easy.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

I guess I will not be wasting my money on Tears of the Sun. here are some selected quotes from the NY Times review:

The audience’s tears are more likely to result from boredom, irritation at Hans Zimmer’s wretched fake-world-music score and inadvertent amusement at the thunderously earnest dialogue and Ms. Bellucci’s awkward line readings. (She has now made movies in three languages; whether she can act in any of them is an open question.)
