That reminds me of the conversation Mrs BlahBlah and I had after watching Quantum of Solace. "They spent all that money hiring the best people in the industry, and then you couldn't even see the results. They could have hired the worst people and saved a lot of money, and the end product would have looked exactly the…

Oh, there are exceptions, to be sure. Rush always looked like a band of equals too, at least from the outside.

God, I'd be their first member.

The NRA would be thrilled if a lot of liberals went out and bought guns, since they're just shills for the gun manufacturers at this point, and a liberal's money is just as green as a conservative's.

I'm with you; I'm a gun owner too, and this version of the NRA will never get my support or money.

No matter, that's a pre-existing condition anyway.

Yes. And gun maker stocks dropped off a cliff after Trump won too; before that, they'd been on a nice upward run in anticipation of a Hillary victory that would drive gun owners to stock up on guns and ammo before she outlawed them. (Note: she wouldn't have done that.)

I've said it here before: Canada is what the US would be like if the assholes hadn't won, and they won here a long time ago.

It's either that or go back to my $1500-a-day Faberge egg habit.

The only thing that got me through watching that avalanche of bullshit is a solemn belief that most of the country doesn't buy it either.

Oh Jesus Christ, do I ever. And I'm sure those assholes have a canned explanation as to why the two situations are in no way comparable.

Those are all opinion pieces. They're not supposed to be objective.

Are we 100% sure that he doesn't want to do that now?

Col Sanders

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a land of contrasts.

I'm sorry, I'll see what I can do about that.

Half? Trump wishes he had approval ratings like that.

On election night, when the results started to come in, I told Mrs BlahBlah that sooner or later, this would turn out to be the worst thing that ever happened to the GOP, and I still stand by that.

I firmly believe that we'll get there eventually, but I have no idea how much more bullshit we have to go through first.

I listened to that first album recently for the first time in years. Schizoid Man is still astonishingly intense. It's hard to believe that a polite British progressive band could play with that much aggression.
