Netroots Nation

There’s a reason I don’t go to Netroots Nation any more and it’s not because I’m ashamed of anything I’ve done or said in a little over 12 years of public writing (as a matter of fact I’m mostly pretty proud of all of it except the stuff that was uninspired which while not bad …

Russiagate: An Update (Mainly Manafort)

Manafort indicted? A no brainer. Will he turn on Trump? Hey, even Goodfellas squeal. (W)as he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning. On the other hand Goodfellas normally give you a cement overcoat, not a case of polonium poisoning delivered by a Kingsman brolly. Manafort offered to give Russian …

What about funny do you not understand?

You’re a pistol, you’re really funny. You’re really funny. What do you mean I’m funny? It’s funny, you know. It’s a good story, it’s funny, you’re a funny guy. What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What? It’s just, you know. You’re just funny, it’s… funny, you know the way you tell …

Stephen Colbert is Wrong!

I rarely call out Stephen (actually, it’s not that rare) but on this occasion he is totally, 100% wrong! This is a great commercial! C’mon, a Top Gun homage? That takes some cran (that’s French, normally paired with elan and meaning “Guts” or “Nerve” and “Dash” respectively though it formally translates as “notch” which leads …

On the other hand let me explain just what it is that movie producers and executive producers do- they’re in charge of organizing the financing, and hiring and firing the personnel. Yes they can have creative input …

Kimmel Care

It needs no commentary, you should watch it all. Ok, a little commentary. I don’t like Jimmy Kimmel. I remember him from The Man Show with Adam Carolla and thought he was the dumb one. I was wrong, Adam Carolla is much dumber. Dumb? One skit featured Carolla and Kimmel setting up a booth at …

Off Topic

Frankly, if you were a dictator developing nuclear weapons capability why the heck would you do a deal with Donald Trump? A Diplomatic Fiasco The fact of the matter is that Iran is in compliance and the leadership has declared that they are not going to violate their agreement. So what’s the problem with yes?

Epic Monster Battle

Sigh. You know, I was all over this 12 days ago. Cassidy/Graham is the worst bill yet. It drops Federal funding sooner, removes more protections for pre-existing conditions (basically the moment you’re diagnosed your insurance premium gets jacked to bankruptcy), more Millions lose coverage, it explicitly steals money from Blue States to give to Red …

Not Quite Rants

About Women For the record, Fairfield is only 88% White. Stars Hollow is 94%. We don’t necessarily shoot people who wear Hoodies, but the Cops can still be enormous pricks. Born here and 35. In the case of Ted Cruz you can skip that born here bit.
