Atrios Nails It
Atrios wrote this as part of his explanation of why the Very Sensible Centrists are full of shit when they talk about trans kids, but it applies whenever they play their “the right has a point” game.

Song of the Day 2/6: Tom Jones, “Delilah”
Many people don’t listen to lyrics, and even those of us who do often know the chorus of a popular song but get hazy on the verses. You can hear this at any crowd sing-along — mumble, mumble, mumble, then everyone, even people who don’t listen to lyrics, joins in on the chorus. This song […]

Republicans view Trump as I viewed Tom Carper
Prior to Sarah McBride positioning herself a legitimate statewide candidate with the ability to knock off Tom Carper – I held the position that only the Grim Reaper could remove Carper.

In my conversations with Republicans, I heard repeatedly that the least disruptive path to getting rid of Trump, grim as it sounds, might be to wait for his expiration.

It’s Just Logic
So Republicans throughout America’s Stupid Belt are trying to legislate against family drag shows, supposedly because some of the performers are pedophiles who are grooming children for…uh, homosexuality, I think… by exposing them to men in ridiculously heavy makeup acting like women. Let’s follow the trail of logic here. In order for this to be […]
