I still think "Butthole Surfers" is a good name, at least for the band they were at the beginning

I thought the whole jerky thing was because it was, iirc, "Albatross" brand jerky, albatross as in a burden, as in the entire Laura endeavor. But that might be too logical.

Pennywise has got kind of a Mark E. Smith inflection going on.

I like how in the header image, Smith looks like he's been photoshopped into a picture of a totally different band.

I totally agree. I even thought their Prince death article was funnier than The Onion's. The Onion had "Nation Too Sad To Fuck Even Though It's What Prince Would Have Wanted". Hard Times simply had "All Sex Cancelled".

The Hard Times. "Airplane Passenger Treated to Personal 6 Hour Spoken Word Concert by Jello Biafra" is a personal favorite.

Yeah, honestly, I kind of don't want to admit it, but seeing The Iron Giant and Freddy in the trailer got me excited.

Okay, I'll try someone else. Reagan, AIDs.

Mike Pence supports electro-shock therapy, you fucking dunce. Maybe if you stopped trying to play devil's advocate all the time you'd learn something.

Alright, let's talk about electrocuting gay kids. I remember that was a pretty big one. Or deporting Muslims.

It literally is. I've been saying that while the left isn't completely good, the right is worse.

I'm not refusing to do so. Neither side is innocent. I'm just saying that those who vote conservative are voting for a side whose policies are overall worse.

It really isn't that difficult to understand. There are no politicians who don't have some bad policies. In a choice between Hilary and Trump, I would choose Hilary, because her ideas would fuck over less people. Yes that does mean I'm forced to be okay with her more unsavory policies. But I have no other option.…

Gotta pull out.

No, they voted for them because they weren't as awful as the other candidates.

Sadly becoming more literal in the era of FAKE NEWS

I mean, it shows she didn't really care about minorities.

I admit it's a generalization, but honestly, if you elect someone into office because you agreed with some of their non-murderous viewpoints, that means you have to be okay with their murderous ones. You can't pick and choose.

It really doesn't shift that much. The right has been awful for a while now, and the left has had the illusion of being good but is also sort of awful.

It is, but that doesn't mean I don't hope for better.
