The only time I listened to XM was about 7 years ago when I got a free trial with a new car. What I remember was that 80s channel playing Depeche Mode about every third song.

The humor level of any comedian is directly inverse to the “wackiness” of the face they make in their headshots. Brian Regan’s headshots sure are wacky!

Had to reload several times before I could get past the second comedian. I kept getting kicked back to Brian Regan. And Brian Regan sucks, so it was doubly frustrating.

Meghan’s just worried that if this period of historical reinvestigation continues, eventually someone will get to dear old dad and ask uncomfortable questions like “Exactly what did John McCain do to earn the title ‘Maverick of the Senate’? Was it voting with Trump only 83% of the time compared to voting with W 95%?”…

One of the side effects of being a young country is that we are an incredibly insecure country. In so many ways our national character is that of a hormonally imbalanced high school freshman who is unsure of its identity, desperate to be liked and accepted, and quick to lash out at any perceived slight. You see it in…

I watched Korra on Amazon Prime a few years back and was expecting Avatar to be just as good. But when I tried to watch it last week for the first time, the poor picture quality was really jarring and hard to look past. Now I see why.

We’re also a nation built on and fully embracing the myth of the rugged individualist. And what better way to celebrate the triumph of the individual than a statue? Yee-haw!

No matter how many Confederate statues come down, anyone who is worried can rest assured that history will not be forgotten. We will still have many, many books to remind us and teach our children that the Confederacy lost.

I hope you’re right. Still, anyone hoping to see him gone needs to vote in November. Even if every sign, indicator, metric, and poll says he’s going to lose in a landslide, if voters stay home because they think one vote doesn’t matter and the result is anything other than a decisive electoral college loss, he’s going…

Silver lining: He can whine about conspiracies all he wants; it’s voting that matters (sorta).

Reports are that K-pop fans and some TikTok kids reserved a large number of seats and then intentionally no-showed. Which, if true, is partly hilarious but partly unfortunate because then it gives Trump the chance to say left-wing trolls and foreigners conspired to ruin his rally. Conspiracies and playing the victim…

The thief isn’t stealing vegetables (noun), the thief IS a vegetable (adjective)—peas. That’s the joke.

A question well asked is half answered. They don’t care about anyone but themselves; that’s why they’re assholes.

Capitalism 101: If I can’t operate my business, I won’t make money.

What did the old comedian say to the vegetable thief?

It starts with the example set by the Boomers and perpetuates from there. I once saw an interview with Jay Leno where he was asked if his obsession with old cars was bad for the planet. His response was “I have faith in human ingenuity to come up with a device or some technology to solve the climate change problem.”…

Interesting, you say you’re in Michigan, yet you seem to be perfectly describing the people in my neighborhood in Maine.

Well, guillotines were *literally* invented so the King of France could appear to be Enlightened and humane while still chopping off and displaying the heads of people he deemed worthy of execution. It’s just ironic that it’s more fun to see them used on the rich and corrupt.

You buried the real takeaway. See, the “Trump White House” has been trying to tell us about Juneteenth for years now, but it was only thanks to the direct action of Emperor Trump that we finally got the message. Because He and He Alone is responsible for everything good.*
