Once again, I served as a judge at the Coney Island Mermaid Parade - and got sunburn and a bottle of rum for my troubles.

May she wake up in the window at Bloomingdale’s wearing nothing but a pair of mismatched socks.

TR is spinning so fast in his grave that we could hook him up to a generator and get free clean power for the entire world.

“I’m sorry Ivanka is a feckless cunt.”

Consider it a test of what exposure to the worst of Reddit (pretty much all of it, actually) can do to a normal human mind.

You know... it’s OK to brag a little that they’ve had more episodes than “Gunsmoke”.....but I note that “Gunsmoke” was a full hour show. So “The Simpsons” has a long way to go before it catches up to it in the *amount* of screen time.....
