Filed in National by on August 1, 2023 6 Comments

I went to see Oppenheimer last night and I guess I was still under that movie’s spell when I normally would have been collecting up some quips for this space.  So once again, it falls to you, gentle reader, to create meaning out of the news.

  • Desantis is terrible at running for President
  • That fucking Chris Coons, JESUS CHRIST!!
  • Trump supporters wonder why Biden has not been arrested and executed yet.
  • DEGOP is a truly helpless bunch of losers.

As for Oppenheimer, I’ll not review the movie, leaving that to professionals like Andrew C.  But I will say that it hit me as intended. With the full force of a work of art.

Fox News – What heat wave?  It is just a deep state temp measuring trick

All these paid liars should be rounded up and eventually hung for their crimes.

When a Madinah takes out an John Viola in a democratic primary, for example. That’s a good primary.  When […]
