Add a pair of German goofballs, a J-pop girl group, and a heavy metal band and you get the collaboration you never knew you needed until you did.

Former FBI and CIA head prods Senate to reject Patel, Gabbard William Webster, the only person to lead both the FBI and CIA, wrote that neither nominee meets the demands of top intelligence jobs.

William Webster, the only person to run both FBI & CIA wrote to Senators, telling them neither Kash Patel nor Tulsi Gabbard is fit to serve. Write to your senators & let them know you agree, especially if you live in a red state. Don't make it easy for them! www.politico.com/live-updates...

To paraphrase Chris Rock, voting for the right because the left hasn't solved your problems is like if your doctor hasn't cured your cancer you vote for cancer.

Is that joke excellent, or really, really terrible? I can't decide.

Sorry, replied to the wrong person, it would have made sense in that context. My bad...

Only once, I didn't go to many concerts. Took my new classically-trained wife who knew almost nothing about rock music. She was, needless to say, confused by the experience.

It's beautiful, and everything modern music isn't.

Had a Gilmour morning - Ice T rapping over Comfortably Numb with David on guitar, and "Between Two Points"
a song featuring his daughter. Great way to start the day.

8 years since I found religion. As far as I can tell, it allows me to officiate weddings. If your priest or judge bails, let me know.

It's some sort of brain-wasting disease. Or maybe a new gender, "ammosexual."

If you take politics out of the discussion, a large majority of Americans are Democrats. Put the labels on and 50 years of conservative gaslighting takes over.

Spurious Correlations Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

Humans are tragically bad at correlation vs. causation. It's not that two things happening at the same time are related, it's that they almost always aren't.

The popularity of the name Johnny correlates almost perfectly with burglaries in New Hampshire.

I was never a fan, but I'll almost always stop on a Bโ€“52s song on the radio. They are weird, fun, and that rarest of things in pop music: unique.

It is very hard for good people to get that rich. Sometimes it's subtle, but in this case it might as well be written in neon across the sky: "this guy is an giant aโ€“hole."

Great, let's take this moron seriously.

The media could do us a big favor by just being honest and ridiculing the guy. Let's go with the headline, "Incoming Clown-in-Chief unveils ridiculous and impossible policies. People who understand how the world works laugh and roll their eyes."
