Strategically, I don'tt understand why we didn't work to build a broader coalition before striking. It's not like Iran has any shortage of enemies in the region.

You can read about these and more in my new book: "Unlike John Tyler and Spiro Agnew, some Vice Presidents Were Pretty Kick-Ass People."

I just hope that the actors they go out to consider whether it's really worth having the public never forgiving them for doing it.

Hannibal Hamlin switched parties just to fight slavery. When Lincoln dumped him in 1864 and Johnson became president, Hamlin got himself re-elected to the senate to fight Reconstruction.

Henry Wallace got booted for being too progressive, and later led an effort to desegregate schools in the 1940s

Saw EPiC yesterday, which was INCREDIBLE.

When the lights came up, an older couple behind us said it was their fifth time seeing it this week and told us that they went to see Elvis during his Vegas residency no fewer than forty times.

They said they planned to return in an hour to see it again.

I keep telling people, yes, it’s definitely dying, which is why the people with all the money are so eager to be a part of it…

The presidential line of succession.

Let's at least flip the house and get a piece on the board.

Oh, okay. Quick question, though. Are you still in touch with this person and can you tell them to get fucked?

Just saw WUTHERING HEIGHTS…

Emerald Fennell has got to be a major Peter Greenaway fan, right?

I didn't watch. Were stupid people happy with it?

You don’t need an ID to buy alcohol. You need an ID for people who tell you to prove that you can buy alcohol, and that’s kinda the real point here, isn’t it?

Seeing Paul Schrader gleefully sharing his AI creations on Facebook is what I imagine it would've been like to know Bob Crane.

"The Alabama Solution" is a must-watch. Pretty sure "Perfect Neighbor" will win, but I think Alabama deserves to.

Asking as somebody who’s being courted for an endorsement. My instinct is to abstain, but if there’s something I should be paying attention to; I want to get into it.

Does anybody have a strong feeling about the LA City Controller?

Thank you, but what I really need help with is writing a letter to my publication's owner letting him know that I'm on board with his instruction to fire a third of my staff. Can you help with that?

It should be brown-nosey and completely toothless, yet somehow allow me to sleep at night. Thanks!

My thoughts are with the girl i met at a bar in college who wanted to make out with me because β€œyou remind me of Bud Cort… you don’t look like him, but you remind me of him.” Hope she’s doing okay.

Instagram just fed me like 30 different conspiracy theories about the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie and I’m just… so disgusted with what we’ve become.

I had an email that I needed to write first thing this morning, but instead stood in line for 30 minutes at a trendy new neighborhood coffee shop, and waited another 20 min for my drink.
