Last week’s poll results and this week’s poll question
38% of us think that the peripatetic GOP will forget about how outraged they were that some non-millionaires might get a government benefit. In fact I think the GOP has already forgotten that blocking free school lunch was going to be an election issue this year. This week’s poll: On another post, I said […]
Song of the Day 6/25: Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose, “Too Late to Turn Back Now”
So let me get this straight: The revolt of the Wagner mercenaries got halfway to Moscow and then turned back. I’m no warlord, but I don’t think that’s the way you’re supposed to do it. The Cornelius Brothers and their sister Rose (eventually joined by their other sister, Billie Jo) were a family singing act […]
“Franklin Cooke is a fucking liar.”
Karl and REV give the Bunker take on the LEOBOR name change fraudulence. As usual it comes down to getting rid of the shitty Democrats and hoping the new Democrats don’t turn shitty.

Song of the Day 6/24: The O’Jays, “Backstabbers”
The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary forces is marching 25,000 soldiers on Moscow, and Vladimir Putin has responded in classic fascist fashion, describing it not just as treason but that old propaganda standby, a stab in the back.

Song of the Day 6/23: Randy Rainbow, “Donald in the John With Boxes”
Randy Rainbow just dropped his latest, a ditty about Trump’s reading habits and storage facilities set to the tune of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.” I suppose any Rainbow criticism of Trump has to be seen in context, though.
