Here’s Some Stupid To Start Your Day

I swear I thought this was the cold open for SNL... ...and then I realized it is Saturday morning.

Please Forgive Us For Intruding On Your Weekend…

...especially during Frozen Food Month, but we would be remiss if we did not alert you that our pal Burr Deming has posted his best-of-the-web links complete with wry commentary at the essential blog Red-State-Blues. What mischief is Scottie's…

Great Ads, Cont.

It's been a week. I think we all need this. (Hat tip: Scissorhead calcurmudgeon)

FYI, it is still snowing. It has not stopped for a minute today. 37°, too. I don’t get it.

#Seattle #March #ClimateChange

A shaggy white dog resting its head on an elaborately hassled dog bed. It’s wearing headphones and has in intense look in its eyes, clearly listening to the #ProLeftPod and considers what it is learning from Driftglass and Bluegal.

I’m going to be listening to The Professional Left Podcast starring @bluegal.bsky.social and @driftglass.bsky.social and you should too! Available where’er you find Pods or here:

ETTD, Part Infinity

Happy Hour News The immutable and iron-clad law of the innernets remains undefeated: ETTD! Exclusive: Trump is preparing to replace Ric Grenell as head of the Kennedy Center "President Donald Trump is expected to remove Richard Grenell as head of the Kennedy Center, according…

His Time Is Coming

No links for obvious reason: " are bad people. They shoot protesters in the head. This is an evil group of people." Alex Pretti and Renee Good would like to have a word with you, Biff. “They’ve been killing innocent people all over the world for 47 years. And now I, as the 47th…

Midday Palate Cleanser

“You shall not pass." (True Fact: my neighborhood Pug is named Winston; I don’t want to give my buddy ideas, but he would make an excellent Gandalf next Halloween.)

I begrudge no one dropping an f-bomb ever, and in fact my NYEve resolution is to drop MOARE of ‘em, myself.

Eiron, the Goddess of Irony, is having a moment of silence.

No words.

Here in Seattle, in mid March, it’s 36° out and snowing. 3.5 inches so far. How is this possible?

The Adventures of Tariffman!

Someone really said this out loud? => Lord love a duck: getting STOLEN money back is not a “windfall.” Also: “somehow get this back” is a big tell. That was in planer language, “Make me." There’s zero chance that any of us peons will see a dime without litigation, even…

I keep staring at the words waiting for meaning to take shape. Nothing is happening. It's amazing. Like seeing the total absence of color

Gee, Who Is Bibi Speaking To?

Hint: NOT the Jews. I don’t think his intended audience is in Israel...

I enjoyed your MOODS. I blame Republicans for the shit they pull, not the Democrats for failing to stop them. Especially without power. #MurcsLaw

That said, I did not hear anyone blaming Democrats, so I was confused. Maybe it was before recording?

The Miracle of The Orange 🤡 Economy

If the new-and-improved BLS cannot cook the books, imagine what the real numbers must look like? I'm gonna guess that the economy is not going to get better with Cadet Bone Spurs Great Adventure (Iran Edition) in progress, so this adjustment might look like the…

The Morning Stupid

I didn’t really want to talk about the disgusting propaganda from the White House, so instead here’s Tiger Beat on the Potomac (Thanks Charlie!) email thingie's coverage: A White House social-media montage of college and pro football hits interspersed with footage of the war…

Blundering Forward, Trump Style Trump’s big policy mistakes follow a familiar pattern, and we should expect the same with the war in Iran.

Many of the biggest policy decisions of Donald Trump’s second term follow the same script: move fast, ignore the experts, break things, then spin the disastrous outcome as a victory. From DOGE to tariffs to the ICE surge in Minneapolis, the pattern keeps repeating. The war in Iran is next.

“As a thought experiment, imagine if I had a soul,” Pee Wee German (pronouns: He, Himmler) didn’t say.

Bad Signs, Cont.

Maybe it is short for, “Kosher Soup Is ,” but I kinda doubt that Lipton Kosher-style Matzoh Ball Soup is .

News That Will Drive You To Drink

Happy Hour News The one in which we hear about the plan for Cadet Bone Spurs' Great Adventure: “Hope” is not a plan. What else ya got, Energy Secretary Chris Wright? So much for that.

🎶 Happy Blog-o-Versary… 🎵

...to MPS! Yup, according to the overlords at Wordpress, 20 years ago today the ol’ Thunderbolt Grease-slapper revv'ed its mighty engine, threw a rod, and rolled the virtual pit stop where it’s been ever since. “It ran when I parked it." Any day now, the A-Listers will…

The invocation has to be filibuster-proof in the Senate, too, just like an impeachment.

The wrong-sized shoes feels like a hazing ritual.

“Let’s see if the cuck will wear them!”

It’s one thing for Grandpa Sundowner to buy everyone shoes, but it is another thing for these simps to keep wearing them when they don’t fit.

If you really are that intimidated, buy a pair in the correct size.

Write Grandpa a thank-you note and donate these things to the GoodWill.

Wasn't just Rubio. I saw a picture yesterday with a bunch of them wearing the stupid shoes
