I’ve been hanging onto a copy of “Shattered” (the history of the Clinton 2016 campaign) and just started it. My plan is to finish it on November 8th, the anniversary of the election.

No, the Shining City on a Swamp would be Washington, DC. And not in the metaphorical Trumpian sense, in the literal sense. It was a malarial swamp into the 20th century, and they light up the monuments and the Capitol after dark for a while. Love the “What’s the greatest city in the [world emoji]#ObviouslyDC” tweet

Roy Moore is obviously unhinged but the north is not immune to judicial malfeasance. Here’s a little tidbit about Sol Wachtler, who was the Chief Justice of the New York Court of Appeals, which is the highest court in the state but not called the Supreme Court of New York, which is something else. This is from a while

I think the DNC got really spooked by the Ossoff loss but rather than say, “Maybe this whole strategy that didn’t work in 2016 still won’t work going forward” their mindset is “It will work if we do it EVEN MORE!”

I can’t wait for Racheal Ray’s next “cook”book, “365 Days of Soylent Green: No Repeats!”

I have a tip for the ICE: Head to the Tyson chicken processing plants. They’re located in places where Trump would attract huge audiences (of people who wouldn’t last a day in a Tyson chicken processing plant.) Of course the supermarket price of chicken, where available, would rise to $30 or $40 a pound, but we should

There are some scenes in Real Housewives of New Jersey (don’t judge) that are subtitled. Not closed captioned, subtitled. It’s usually because they’re yelling really quickly over each other, but still.

So much, so much that’s so wrong with that this teacher did. I had wonderful English teachers who tried to teach us, and certainly taught me, all about the beauty and suppleness and weirdness of the English language and its literature. In fact, reading and writing and correcting other people’s English is how I now

Richard Nixon (!) proposed a Basic Income in 1969.

I don’t know about Harleys being the province of midlife crisis CPAs. A few years ago I was at a wedding and a distant relative showed up without her husband. We were seated together at the reception because I, famously in my family, can “talk to anyone.”

Days ago I had the exact same thought. A little googling tells me he relocated to Boulder, CO (not Colorado Springs, as you might have thought) and hosts a right-wing/libertarian radio show.

Did you ever see The Twilight Zone movie? They remade “It’s a Good Life” as one of its parts and the remake, to my mind, is even scarier than the original.

Needs more crop circles. :(

Are we talking about brown sugar here? It makes an excellent glaze. I cook with it all the time. Carrots, meat loaf, pork, I throw it in cookie dough...

Wait, I just realized, isn’t that KFAC over his shoulder, to our left/his right?

That’s actually a very flattering photograph.

Because I am irredeemably superficial:

I’ve been to the Westchester Mall. It wouldn’t even make them look hip, it would make them look like they hire people who wear the same hair that lots of the customers do. This whole thing is crazy.

I would have taken the odds. The NRA itself quite famously said it would suspend advertising related to the VA governor’s race for precisely one week after the LV massacre. The NRA is a lot of things, but tardy to the party it is not.

Sadly, not a locked ward, though.
