"How can we bring the White House in line with that most traditional form of American architecture, the strip mall?"

To be fair, the alternative to disappearing thousands of people would be actually doing things those people want to see from their government, which is much too difficult for them.

He didn't even have the imagination to suggest it could be several states.

You know, they *could* just try to appeal to DC and Puerto Rico voters. Get people to *want* to vote for them.

Fun fact about facts: If something's a fact, then there will be evidence for it.

Really? 'Cause that's not what "I don't know anything about it" means.

Random walk - Wikipedia

It's not even drift. "Drift" suggests change happening slowly, but in a consistent direction for a time before slowly changing to another direction as the wind blows.

This is a drunkard's walk, punctuated by random leaps, as if the drunkard is occasionally licking a live power line.

Labels can be great -- it took me 10 years to figure out that there was an option other than straight or gay, and I only figured it out because I found out about the label "bisexual".

*Gatekeeping* labels, though, defeats the whole purpose.

Do no Republicans know the meaning of the word "tariff"?

Nah, 'cause the new rule is "Innocent until Trump says otherwise".

Donald "guns a-blazing" "fast, vicious, and sweet" Trump believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Similar here -- I can get to Donald Trump in three.

On the plus side, any slip & fall will almost certainly benefit the country.

After all, it's not like the people need representation or anything.

Next up: "The Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that Trump has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away."

There's no such thing as "settled beyond debate" because some people will debate anything.

I wonder how the Republican voters will like RFK's lumping of religion with totalitarianism?

Looking forward to the US developing a preference for leaders who know grade-school arithmetic.

Yet somehow their help won't involve any support for parental leave, daycare, fl8xivle work hours, or anything that involves money. It'll almost entirely consist of ititiatives towards making it harder for women not to be pregnant.

The existence of even one Protestant dismantle the central lie of religion, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

Name a *specific* principle used by these projects that's unconstitutional. Don't say "DEI", cite the specific policy text that's in violation.

Basically, he's promising to extend what the right decries as "cancel culture" to every cornet of every person's life.

So all those 70s movies about how bad things were in East Germany & the USSR, were they just sour grapes?

When you started talking about kids' music, I immediately thought of th 1 2 3 *4* *5* 6 7 8 *9* *10* 11 12 video you brought up. I was also reminded 9f this short about how the music was different in every one of the ~900 episodes of Mr Roger's Neighbouthood: youtube.com/shorts/1d1RJ...

The strip would have been about the same vintage as Tom Lehrer's songs.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the strip in my collections... Too much to search through!
