Memories. My first porno experience (age 11, early 80s) was with a Playgirl. At a bookstore with my friend Steffie, innocently perusing a TV Guide until she stuck the centerfold into my face and screamed, “LOOK! IT’S A PENIS.” (It was regulation limp, thank god as I didn’t have more than a dim idea about erections at…

Amen. It’s all about context.

It’s gross. I wish I’d skipped it. It’s like a clip from The Apprentice - White House Press Edition.

Hard to find (and even harder to seat) a jury like this in Chicago. There are wonderful people here, but also a large population of racist meatheads, which is why we have such horrible segregation and corruption.

The third brother—Ezekiel, the doctor—seems a bit more human. I’ve seen him speak at a few events where he’s come across decently, or at least better than either of his brothers.

OMG...I never realized until just now how alike Rahm and Cruz are in their unlikeability and specific brand of sliminess. I wonder which one of them would be more offended by the comparison?

Could not agree more. While I’m glad that (some of) the cops involved in this hideousness have been indicted, the big Rahmfish is eluding the net. He’s the ultimate DINO. But then, so are many Chicago politicians. I’ve lived in Chicago for going on 20 years and I love it, but how I hate the government here.

I may or may not have had a drunken encounter similar to this before.

I like to think there’s a Stalin in there somewhere, and maybe an Ivan the Terrible if there’s room.

Come now, they love some regulations, like those that control female reproductive organs, or people who were born outside of the country, or people who aren’t completely pasty white. See?

Alec Baldwin has laid claim to the role for all time and eternity.

For realz, it’s so damn hard for a casino owner to lose money unless they’re wildly incompetent...or siphoning off money into their own pockets.

This will probably happen at some point. Then the religious right will say that child murder is okay because it’s in the Bible.

Legislative illiteracy: it’s a national trend!

Ah, but this is a national trend.

Hey, has Jason fucking Chaffetz stepped down yet? Does anyone know?

If he wasn’t so incompetent, we’d be even more screwed than we are now.

Starred for “ochre ogre,” which phrase I plan to steal because it is beautiful...

This could very well be, in which case he will inadvertently say something to this effect during his next Fox and Friends interview. “I have the tapes. I have the tapes, believe me. I have the tapes, but they’re FAKE NEWS.”
