Imagine how overwhelming it is to be a Dem Senator right now. I feel overwhelmed whenever I look at the newspaper, or allow my brain to think about what’s happening to us. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be there with these huge fires of incompetence and stupidity blazing out of control in every single

You know, spell check can only do so much.

Now playing

Lest we (by which I mean I) despair, here’s some uplifting type stuff. Jimmy Cliff with Bongoman/Rivers of Babylon.

I agree. I know these people too. I still think that they are stupid to be unable to see the threat that this administration poses to their personal well being. Global warming is an actual thing. Do they see that threat? It doesn’t seem like it. Will they see it before it manifests in catastrophic ways? I don’t see

I don’t have much respect for the process at this point and I definitely don’t have any respect for the opponent or the other party. I’m just saying that screaming isn’t going to help, it will just play into their hands by making us look stupid. Getting them to continue to make idiotic statements that are good

So, is that because she doesn’t think that kids with disabilities should be able to get an education, or because she doesn’t know what those things are?

That’s certainly what we’re doing here.

I don’t think it’s a concern for decorum that’s allowed it to come to this.

Murphy’s party is in the minority, and specifically in the Senate which is still the “saner” of the two houses of congress. That means they are the only thing standing between us and utter destruction (if, indeed, there is anything standing in that position anymore). Dem senators need to keep their tempers and try to

I feel a strong desire to allow Sen. Murphy some time alone in a room with Ms. Devos.

An admirable display of efficiency.

Wow, what a great selection of voices.

Oooh! Congratulations! I start a new job next month, let me know if it seems like a good idea before the middle of February, ok?

It seems to me it probably depends on how much of a story it turns into. If other people start showing up with stories of a similar nature, and the whole thing gets enough press, it could cost him his job. If not, probably not. I’d pass out with amazement if the Broncos organization claimed it had no idea and got rid

This is true and a happy argument. However, I must point out that the level of delusion that would allow someone to vote for him in the first place would also allow them to believe that his failures are due to nefarious subterranean plots by the liberal mafia, lead by the aforementioned witch queen. Still, that would

Well, my understanding is the French don’t like anybody so I wouldn’t worry too much about their disdain. Pretending to be from Canada is a good idea. I’ll have to sew a maple leaf on my bag before I head out.

yeah. so much for any travel outside our boarders any time in the foreseeable future. maybe the UK, since if they give me shit I can always claim they started it with Brexit. It’s a weak argument, but it’s better than nothing.

I know, I’m going to start smoking again on the 20th, because why not?

Ooooh, I like this. You’ve got style.
