Preston in DC

I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.

This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

I adored that '98 concert. I'm not normally a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber, but the Audra/Marin/Judy trio of ALW songs was TRANSCENDENT.

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

Scratch the surface of any cynic, and you'll find a disillusioned idealist.

To break it down for my audience:

Bloomberg spent $9.5M trying to elect Cuomo.

The original production of Carrie cost $8M

Someone should write a book about flop political campaigns called Not Since Cuomo.

We should know less about each other.

I'm jealous of your Blockbuster Video display stand.

These evil, illegitimate fuckers have got to go

Not the coveted baseball diamond!

I remember watching the first season when it first broadcast, and now I'm rewatching the whole series with my husband. It's BANANAS, but Glenn Close eating that scenery and spitting it back to us is EVERYTHING!

Yes.

The more gilded the Oval Office, the lower Fort Knox's gold supply.

That is a killer line! 🔥🔥🔥

Our government is currently run by 12 year-olds and extremely divorced middle aged men and, somehow, extremely divorced 12-year old middle aged men.

Accurate.

soooo good!

In NOLA, it's Tchoupitoulas Street.

I always tell people it sorta sounds like "choppa tulips"

Seconded, by another one who remembers the mid 90's..

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

😭😭😭

YEAH! KENAI PENINSULA ON THE MEDIA MAP!

i think anyone taught by ilan wurman ought to ask the university of minnesota law school for their money back

Coworker: Do you fast for Rosh Hashanah?

Me: No that’s Yom Kippur. We start fasting at sundown.

Coworker: I thought it was at midnight.

Me: No, we’re Jews. You’re thinking of Mogwai.

Turns out it was pretty stupid of me to go to “law school” and pass the “bar” and practice “law”

This was the rapture post I didn't know I needed today.
