What it's about is crappy reporters belatedly covering their asses for an overblown story that the public is starting to disbelieve. This Russian conspiracy reporting has been going on for a full year now and the evidentiary standards have been non-existent from day one. It's pretty ridiculous for Maddow to just now…

Some of us dirtbag lefties saw this coming a full year ago. From day one all this Russia hysteria has been rife with speculative bullcrap based on anonymous sources of questionable provenance. In a year or two we'll be inundated with Democratic Party loyalists pretending they were always skeptical of all this Russia…

Oh please. People have finally started to figure out that Maddow's spy-novel style of "journalism" amounts to nothing more than flinging chunks of poop at the wall until something sticks. Maddow may be displaying a dawning awareness of how badly she's damaged her credibility, and that she'll need to do some CYA to…

No joke. The point is that Muslims get seriously harassed and treated as potential terrorists for doing far less than what Griffin did. A Muslim would be hauled in for questioning (associates and family too), home wiretapped, mosque placed under surveillance, etc.

It's hilarious how often Democrats (including self-described liberals) respond with resentment or incomprehension when somebody tries to make a point about the prevalence of Islamophobia in America.

In a perverse way Griffin's treatment represents an advance in racial equality, because a brown-skinned Muslim who posted a mock beheading of a U.S. President online would be in serious trouble. So now white people are getting the same treatment. Yay.

Charlie the Pillowcase.

Why would he? The Democratic Party's wealthy showbiz endorsers have a been a millstone around the party's neck. Any smart Republican would want Hollywood to continue its affiliation with Democrats. Even Donald Trump might be smart enough to figure that out.

Putin did nothing wrong.

We've been here for a long time now:

Breaking the cult of the Presidency was never going to be a graceful process. It's an ugly embarrassing thing to behold, but that's just how it had to be. It took a vulgar jackass like Trump to do it.

One of the few things I like about Trump's presidency is that it's breaking the quasi-religious veneration that Americans hold for the office. Good. The American presidency is a grotesque and dangerously powerful institution that needs to have its prestige and mystique permanently diminished. Good on Trump for…

Obamacare already is wealthcare. Much of Republicans' difficulty in crafting their own version of healthcare reform to replace Obamacare stems from the fact that Obamacare already is the Republican version of healthcare reform. That's a sad commentary on Obamacare and on American democracy in general. Most…

Looking forward to her first black metal album.

Loggins betrayed smooth music. Shameful.

I hadn't heard Mick Karn back in the 90's but I'm pretty sure I would have ripped the frets off my bass if I had.

The band Shitfucker did this back in 2014 when they used the artwork from The Scorpions' Virgin Killer album on a tour shirt. They got away with it as far as I know. Maybe Shitfucker wasn't worth suing.

I'm an ex-bass player from the 90's. If I could go back and do it again I'd definitely go fretless. When I first heard Cronos' fretless bass on Venom's Black Metal album I liked it so much I was sorely tempted to remove the frets from my crappy bass. I probably should have done it because at that point I was…

The Chairman of the Weird.

No.
