- I imagine his business card reads, “Steve Bannon: Fascism Exporter.”
- Speaker pro tem McCarthy knows that if he expels George Santos, the voters in the NY 3rd will elect a Democrat, cutting his thin majority margin even more. Short of a Santos conviction, McCarthy will do nothing. Such is the moral compass of the GOP.
- Gas stoves are the incandescent bulbs of toilet flushes.
- Yes, Merrick Garland should appoint a special counsel to investigate the government documents found in Biden’s possession. It’s how proper government functions properly, which was not what happened in the Trump administration.
- Guess what was scientific-ish-ly proven to be the world’s sexiest name for a man (found here)? And if you gotta ask about why I brought it up, you haven’t been paying attention.
- Honestly, I was taken aback by how fast Republicans took their knives to Robert Hur. They know the investigation into the classified papers found at Biden properties will fizzle, and they’re setting him up as their fall guy.
- Remember: the laws regarding the possession of classified documents are literally designed to encourage people who find them to turn them in when found, pushing the people who accidentally possess them to turn the docs over willingly when they find them, rather than having the documents in the wind. The guy who put up legal challenges and demanded a Special Master was digging his hole deeper.
- A shockingly high number of Republican wrestling coaches from Ohio who later served in the House have connections to sex abuse scandals. Must be something in the water.
- I wouldn’t be surprised if every presidential library going back to Eisenhower’s has a handful of classified documents inappropriately stored.
- If I don’t open the back door at the precisely correct beat so the dog crosses the threshold the moment the door flies open so he can enter at full gallop, I feel the dog judging me. “Why weren’t you there, Thumby? You had one job!”
- Allow me to give one piece of practical advice to people starting their own household after moving out of their parents’ houses: don’t buy coffee mugs. You’ll collect enough on your own. Gifts, product promos, trade shows. You’ll have more than enough for your entire life.
- Jill Biden’s cancer diagnosis barely made a ripple. Had it happened to Melania, Fox would’ve started a new network to cover her recovery. Good health to you, Dr. First Lady.
- “You’re eleven varieties short of a chocolate box.” Ya gotta love British television hosts.
- Reports circulate that Diamond died of Covid. God bless her. She died for her cause. Her really stupid, deadly cause that rational thought and education should have conquered. Unfortunately stupid will always exist, but fatally stupid deserves a trophy. Or a headstone.
- Corollary to the coffee mug advice: If you must buy them, do it at estate and yard sales. You’ll find the funky, retro ones (that are real, not retro) others picked up, and you’ll get them for a quarter each. Reuse/Recycle.
- Remember that Monday’s Martin Luther King Holiday is a national day of service. Find a community project like cleaning or fixing up a schoolyard or a park. Organize a community trash pick-up. Check in on an elderly neighbor to see if they need some home improvements or errands. (This is one of those rare times when social media can do some good.)
- No live-action prime-time show should linger longer than M*A*S*H, which at eleven seasons was starting to smell ripe at the end, but bid farewell before it truly stunk. Grey’s Anatomy needs a DNR.
- “The Republicans are the Party that says government doesn’t work and then they get elected and prove it.” –PJ O’Rourke
