- “Truth in advertising” rules should mandate CPAC rename itself “Assholes Я Us.” It’s devolved into a conservative dystopia of wannabe comics performing during an open-mic night at Yuk Yuk’s in the Missoula Airport Marriott.
- My guess is the Venn diagram of CPAC attendees and 1/6 domestic terrorists has significant overlap. As Bill Maher says: “I don’t know it for a fact. I just know it’s true.”
- Speaking of Maher, one of his guests on tonight’s show will be Megyn Kelly. On his last show, he had on Kellyanne Conway. Maher’s become a required stop for stained conservatives who want to rehab their public image. (I still blame him for mainstreaming Conway.)
- Ron Johnson of Wisconsin reading a post from a far-right-wing blog during a Congressional committee hearing makes me all the more adamant that members of Congress should take an oath to tell the truth before every committee hearing.
- Republicans saying the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus doesn’t do enough to address the coronavirus pandemic and spends too much on other projects demonstrates that conservatives have no idea about managing macroeconomics. Voting against this will be the central point for Democratic campaigns around the country.
- Bread pudding is just French toast for dessert.
- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto O’Rourke working to help Texans during last week’s power outage while Ted Cruz skipped off to Cancun demonstrates that no, both sides do NOT do it.
- Donald Trump, Jr. trying to rebrand CPAC as “TPAC”–and the dull reaction of the crowd on what he obviously thought would be an applause line–is one of the unintentionally funniest things he’s ever done.
- The news that the new J&J coronavirus vaccine and possibly the Moderna vaccine don’t need to be stored at sub-zero temperatures makes me think this whole coronavirus thing was a plot by a Deep State plot to benefit Big Freezer.
- The photo of Donald Trump fondling The Glowing Orb with two Middle East leaders is perhaps the most bizarre photo of a US president ever taken. And one of those photos is LBJ picking a dog up by its ears.
- Heard an interesting thing about masks: two masks help you to stop the spread of the coronavirus, but not three. If you wear three masks, your breath ends up blowing out the sides of the mask because of the thickness, and you end up spreading more moisture/germs. So two masks is the max.
- Republicans need to stop trying to “own the libs” 24/7 and they need to start owning their failures.
- Single-topping pizzas: Pepperoni. Anchovies. Sausage. Mushrooms. No other toppings can go solo on a pizza.
- Fifty million vaccine doses administered in the first 37 days since Biden took office beats the 100 million promised by the end of 2020 by the previous administration. One’s reality; the other’s a lie.
- I don’t want my dog to suffer the same fate as Lady Gaga’s French bulldogs, so I’m letting him get a handgun. Unfortunately, in my state, only cats can get a carry purrrrmit.
- My wife is a member of SAG/AFTRA, so for the next month, we’ll be watching screeners of movies and shows I’ve never heard of (although I’m really looking forward to “Hamilton.”)
