“In the end,” Gooding often said, “one person will own everything and not be punished for it.”

Foam basketball Hall of Famer and avowed cynic Don Gooding gets philosophical for a moment in the hilarious novel Fluffball--still only $14.95 and a great gift for the holidays.

If I follow the DoorDash navigation app's instructions to the letter, I'd be crashing through more barricades than the Duke boys.

If Pavlov were alive today, he wouldn't need a dog. He could just observe all the MAGAs posting "Vote for the clean CR" every time a Democratic legislator mentions the shutdown.

Asked Google or Bing or somebody how many way you could arrange four different chess pieces on a chessboard and they put the AI answer up first: 576 ways on a 4x4 chessboard.

My next question: "Have you ever seen a chessboard?"

All I wanted to do was listen to some music...

Sounds like Mike Johnson is under the impression that the president is a mature adult who understands nuance, and not what he actually is: a child who thinks poop is funny.

Consider if you will everyone in this administration, from the President to the VP to the Cabinet to the White House staff.

Since they've been in office, not one of them has done or said a single thing that would indicate they're normal, well-adjusted human beings. Not one.

Horrifying but it captures his essence nicely.

Good, good--I've got to stop engaging with those clowns. It's not good for my mental health and probably not that great for my blood pressure either.

I'm back after an accidentally long time away--please tell me Blue Sky is still a haven for intelligent people. I'm going to release a primal scream if I see one more Facebook MAGA asswipe pretend not to know what the No Kings protest is for.

Shout-out to Clem and Zeke, who have never set foot outside their home in Mud Holler but who know what's going on in Chicago better than any resident or the governor of Illinois himself. Thanks for keeping us informed, boys!

Magaderp: "We like him cause he says what's on his mind!"

Satirical ad for "Faux-Blo Theatrical Blood." Picture shows some idiot pretending to have been shot in an assassination attempt.

Oh, yeah, bipartisan solutions. Yeah, I don't think any GOP reps or senators are going to crawl out of trump's ass long enough for that to happen.

Agree. Plus, there wouldn't have been a Jan 6 insurrection for people to die in if he wasn't such an amoral narcissistic dipshit. For that matter, how many people succumbed to Covid while he had this thumb up his ass?

Almost 67,000 words into a new novel with the working title of Ripples in the Catfish Pond.

I don't know what you're supposed to do with that information.

What’s wrong with you?

And frankly, when he finally draws his last pathetic breath, I don't care if someone steals the body.

There are people who will give you the shirt off their back.

But the odds of one of them being in close proximity when you need a shirt are not good.

I’m signing up to drive for a new service called DashDash. So if anyone needs any punctuation…

If I had a nickel for every two-bit hoodlum I've put away, I'd have lost twenty cents on each one.

Love that song and love Mr Lightfoot. What a voice.

Thanks! One reason I'm excited is that my brother will be bringing our 91-year-old mom to the event--so she can contribute to the great vibes!

What did this asshole think Kamala would have done?

If you happen to be in Iowa this Saturday, particularly in the Des Moines area and even more specifically in the neighborhood of Beaverdale Books, please stop by and say hi and consider buying a book or two! I'm fun to talk to, I promise--and the new book is pretty funny.

That's pretty much what mine looked like yesterday--brilliant color everywhere but ultimately a damn six.

GFY with Kyle Rittenhouse’s dick, Connor.

One of the many nice that will happen when the sonofabitch finally dies is that his whole amoral brood becomes irrelevant. Don Jr--the poor man's Billy Carter--will be relegated to the septic tank of history.
