Played guitar and wrote songs for a living, so I wouldn't have to work.

And all we get is the "Reichstag Woke".

Maybe having shirts made up with the legend "Yes he IS that stupid: how do you think I got this shirt?"

Such mysteries of the day are virtually always (and quickly) explained by reminding oneself how fucking stupid these people are.

Hell yes. Sedaka's a shining example of styles coming and going, but talent always finding a home.

God damn, he's a few ticks away from mumbling about retaining our precious bodily fluid.

Her response is dead on. It's an outrageous lie. And further, there were 110 cases. 105 of those patients were unvaccinated.

There's your fucking double blind test, Bobby. Choke on it.

It's a remarkable speech. When I looked it up the account said that two other prior were writing the play, and brought Will in. I suppose you could say he was brought in to punch it up a bit. One has to wonder if his contributions didn't stick out like a sore thumb.

One of two groups I liked in the past, oh, several decades.

The bad vaudeville skit that is the Trump Administration is a galling conundrum. There's never been a DOJ further up the President's ass than the current one. And there's never been a more corrupt President than the current one. So what hope have we for justice to emerge from this vaudeville skit?

As eerily spot-on this Shakespeare is (as usual) and how typically stunning Sir Ian's read is... Shakespeare wrote a play about Thomas More?? How did I miss that?

Do you think fans with snowbound teams ever think about how cool it is that no Super Bowl has to be played in a blizzard?

It gets worse. They were restricted to the lunch menu.

The other Doug Collins should be allowed to beat the holy shit out of this Doug Collins.

Did you see Thom Tillis coming out strong agst Trump's charges against Powell? Hitting the right notes about the need for independence, going so far as to offer the coopting of the DOJ as a cautionary tale?

It's becoming less and less shocking when a GOPer distances themself from Trump's policies.

There is no more damning evidence against Bibi than this picture with Putin, and vice versa.

Every attempt to mimic humans — the pat on Marco's arm — fails miserably as he opens his misshapen mouth and spews Trump essence. I hate to stain the beloved character with a comparison, but I'm reminded of Data trying so hard to be human, and failing over and over again.

I'm no spring chicken, and I can't remember one damn time someone having to apologize for saying "I love America". But, please, continue to grapple with a nonexistent problem.

The sniffy dismissal of progressive government programs, and seemingly equating them with alms for the poor, is pretty damn obnoxious, I grant you.

Does he equate job training with Communism? Cracking down on corporate fraud with utopian thinking? He hasn't lost his worst instincts I see.

He got his charges into courts in every single swing state: over 60 courts. He had every chance to prove any legitimate claim. He went 0-65 or so. That would include Georgia. The infant can't accept anyone saying "no". And he rules the most important democracy on the globe.

This is equal parts tragic and infuriating. Are these moneygrubbers soulless? Are they all sick? In normal humans empathy is a guiding emotion. These schmucks seem as if the blood on their hands calls for high fives.

I'm sure that's true.
