Ah yes! But it’s Sheridan Road right there where the ghost crosses—doesn’t turn into the Drive until a little further along.

If somebody stood up and praised America for conservative values like, oh, I don’t know, rugged individualism, or boundless opportunity, or whatever, I’m sure there would be cheers, although perhaps not enough to please you.

I grew up just outside Chicago. On the edge of town there was a huge old Catholic cemetery, set right across from the lake. People snuck in there at night (I assume they still do). It was a shadowy, lovely, and mysterious place where you found yourself halfway believing in ghosts even if you knew better.

The fact is, he’s a horrid public speaker with no wit, no natural sense of timing, no self-awareness, none of the comic competences that allowed even George W to get up there and make an amiable fool of himself without losing his appearance of decorum, or whatever it is a president is supposed to display in these

It looks like revulsion rather than fear.

Oh, you are far from alone.

Time off from work, transportation to the airport, plane fare, lodging—Yay for having enough money to exercise a constitutional right.

It would probably be unwieldy to include examples of the flights of stairs down which terrified women sometimes used to throw themselves in hopes of inducing a spontaneous abortion.

This is a preemptive tactic that has worked for the right for more than a quarter century.

This is so efficient, so ALEC, so post-democracy, so Heritage Foundation.Next step, I’m sure, is going to involve bands of men in black clothing force-feeding laxatives to terrified dissenters. This is all getting so 1930s.

Like the gathering attack on immigrants, this mindless, stupid, vicious, pointless act (cruel to the point of outright sadism) is the kind of thing that—Republican operatives calculate—will keep Republican voters excited enough that they won’t even notice they’re losing their Affordable Care coverage, their Medicaid,

It was a grand moment.

They want those little tiny hands around long enough to hold the pen that signs laws killing Affordable Care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the VA, slashing taxes on gazillionaires, and eliminating regulations on the fossil fuel and food producing industries.

God, I hope you’re right. I really want to believe you’re right.

I’m a gardener. I’ve watched these creatures vanishing over the last few decades. When I started gardening, bees were part of the life of a garden: they thrummed and looped in the sun and did their magic, they were always there. Last summer in my garden there were maybe half a dozen bees on a good day, and most days

I believe the penis should at the very least RSVP if it’s going to come.

Bannon (the man who fancies himself to be Lenin, but actually ended up as Rasputin) doesn’t just want to terminate democracy within our own borders—a vision well on its way to being realized.He wants to drop nukes on other people’s countries as well. If somebody doesn’t get him the hell out of the White House, he’s

Lily white deplorables won’t have one little bit of a problem with a veteran being gunned down, not after Fox and Breitbart assure them that the vet was a traitorous and probably secretly black libtard who failed to obey an order from a uniformed official of the Glorious Homeland.

Everybody on the left appreciates your concern, and the many truthful things you say, even the ones which are not true, but all of which are incontrovertible, and not at all alt truths spawned in alt realities for alt effect. The left will be sure to stop doing all those things you don’t want them to do, even the ones

Keep in mind—if Democrats had stood up and fought back tooth and nail on the floor of the House, ACORN would not have been defunded, and more of the machinations of the dark money right would have been exposed.
