And passport lists different sex/gender than state ID. What's the average age on the court right now? Do they have no clerks under 50?

Great post, as usual, but needs a note of clarification: The DOJ had tons of evidence for all kinds of shit Agnew was doing. The tax evasion was just a quick deal to get him to go away quietly.

A little exaggerated, but people need to be more creative with their. At least, that's what your mom said when she rolled over this morning.

Someone being an asshole and someone saying, "Hey, that person is an asshole!" are not the same fucking thing. That's a ridiculously stupid "argument".

Has the Senator from Kentucky mentioned (or been asked about he fact) that Louisville has a higher per capita murder rate than Chicago? Than Portland?

This is true (as it was true for a Black man on the ballot). But flip-flopping on fracking in Ohio, bragging about gun ownership, not allowing a Palestinian to speak at the convention, and embracing conservatives did not help at all.

Some of us were saying "My god, my god, my god" when Harris started bringing Liz Cheney with her to campaign events.

I'm thinking of them more like a broken Aztec Calendar that's right every 5,800 years or so.

Meanwhile, Gavin, stop trying to rehabilitate a White Supremacist and Christian Nationalist whose schtick was ambushing college students with prepared statistics and talking points nested in dishonest debate tactics.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

But if I had to choose between spending time in Prague or Crumbcake, oh man, that would be hard. The only option is to go back! We'd go back through Bratislava, as the wife's family is Slovak.

Been there twice. Wife's family refer to it as "Crumbcake" because it's so cute. We stayed at pensions just outside of the old town. The castle is super cool.

The longest bullseye shot made is 4.4 *miles*. That was 7,774 yards. 200 yards is not that hard.

So Weird Al has been playing with the same band forever, and they are usually in the videos. With the exception of "Gump", the parody of "Lump" by The Presidents of the United States of America". Who are the musicians in the video? Are they Presidents? Been trying to find this out for a long time!
