It sure is here! Again:

...sure, but maybe we can do that after we solve the problems of food and housing insecurity, joblessness, lack of access to affordable medical care, and rampant inequalities in education and opportunity?

It says so much that the obvious analogy for the Republican Party’s behavior right now is the Mafia. I’m not saying you’re wrong at all--hell, I’ve been making the same comparison since Scooter Libby--but it’s depressing as fuck that one of our two major political parties is being run like an organized crime family.

I really think that the longer you listen to Warren, the better she sounds. Every time she talks, I find myself vigorously nodding in agreement and smiling the warm smile of someone who finally hears a politician who wants to fix our problems.

Everyone says that, but I think this is one case where the conventional wisdom in Washington is deeply isolated from the popular sentiment. I think that the majority of Americans are already convinced that impeachment is the necessary remedy for Trump’s crimes.

But is it a huge political risk? Trump is historically unpopular, and the case for impeachment is crystal clear. It’s honestly a bigger risk not to impeach him at this point.

I can still remember wanting Robot Chicken to do a parody of this show where Chris Hansen reveals that no, he’s not actually Arnold Schwarzenegger, he’s with Dateline NBC. And this hideous alien with weird mouth-parts hisses at him and tries to activate its mimetic camouflage, but Chris is like, “I’ve got all the chat

My honest feeling is that it’s the job of white guys (and I speak as a white guy here) to be the audience for this show. Like, we’ve spent a long time talking, and now it’s our turn to shut up and listen to other people’s stories for a while.

“Telling passengers that our ship is headed for the bottom of the ocean is psychological abuse. Iceberg alarmists are passenger abusers. They aren’t just wrong and stupid — though they are those things — they’re also morally depraved.”

We can all agree that “Oh, I love Elizabeth Warren, I’m just worried about all those other people” is basic concern trolling, right?

To misquote John Mulaney, “My President is a bitch and I love her so much!”

“Nameless, faceless” women. Except, you know, for their names and faces.

Elway should just sit the guy down and say, “Look, I’m not sure if you know this, but ‘holding’ is when you try to get smart and grab a guy instead of just pushing him back. So maybe don’t try to have such Clever Hans next time?”

“You’ve got a lot of nerve complaining about someone openly defending a guy they know is a serial sexual predator when you... didn’t do that!” Any favorable coverage came back when the worst thing anyone thought Antonio Brown did was complain about his helmet. Short of being mind readers, they couldn’t have done

Always remember: The goal of Republicans is to make government as ineffective as possible, the better to justify cutting its budget (in ways that funnel that money into their pockets instead). They are looking for the most inept, incompetent, useless motherfuckers on the face of the planet. If those incompetent

Spider-Woman’s original 70s run started with her being mentored by a mysterious mystic named Charles Magnus and fighting Morgan le Fay, and ended with her time-traveling in astral form to battle Morgan and losing her connection to her human body as a result. (Comics being comics, she got better.) It’s a deep cut, but

He sounds more like the guy who wants to be holding the hayfork.

Oh, you’re selling us short! We hate everyone except rich white men. Children are just one of the many, many groups meriting our loathing.

Which are, in turn, distinctly different from chunkin’ punkins.

It wasn’t the n-word. It was the f-word. He said, as part of a sketch that parodied ‘Who Shot JR?’, “It hurts a lot. I’d like to find the guy that fucking did it.” Since it went out over live television, the FCC wound up fining them, and it was the excuse the network needed to get rid of Jean Doumanian (whose tenure
