Saudis Bled Arizona’s Aquifers Dry? Legally? It appears so: BUTLER VALLEY, Ariz. — A megadrought has seared Arizona, stressing its rivers and reservoirs and reducing water to a trickle in the homes of farmworkers near this desert valley. But green fields of alfalfa stretch across thousands of acres of the desert land, shimmering in the […]
Did anyone else get an odd survey about Tom Sheriden?
Yesterday I got a Luce research text with a link that opened up a survey asking a lot of questions about a guy I never heard of named Tom Sheriden and Sheriden’s possible run for congress(?)
Burning the Planet to Ashes is Good for the Economy
I guess we’ve come to that collective conclusion, because the opposite (Stopping the Planet from Burning to Ashes is Bad for the Economy) seems to hold sway among policy makers. More than 100 million people in the United States are currently under excessive heat warnings and heat advisories. Record-high temperatures are forecast for this […]
20 States Join Delaware State Dipshit’s Association to try and make us have more machine guns
These other states need to A) mind their own fucking business, and B) see that their own laws “conform with the nation’s historical tradition of firearms regulation” by sticking their muzzle-loading long guns up their ass. Twenty states object as Delaware pushes gun ban despite Supreme Court Bruen ruling ADelaware law banning “assault weapons” and […]
Song of the Day 7/15: The Strawbs, “Part of the Union”
Nearly all of Hollywood — oh, OK, just the actors and writers — is on strike, an ominous situation. Remember when the writers walked out in 1988? That brought on the flood of reality TV programming that led to the Kardashians. With both the writers and actors gone, producers might turn to robots and AI […]

What Could Be More Dangerous Than Drag Queens Launching ICBM Missiles? Um, this guy? (Watch the video): U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale worries that drag queens at Montana’s Malmstrom Air Force Base will launch an intercontinental ballistic missile. He called transgender soldiers too mentally unstable to serve. “We have drag shows taking place at Malmstrom Air […]
Song of the Day 7/14: Tracy Chapman, “Fast Car”
This song is proof (if we needed any after Lil Nas X and “Old Town Road”) that the term “country music” has lost all meaning except as a barrier to the “wrong people.” Country’s latest superstar, Luke Combs, has taken “Fast Car” to No. 1 on the country charts — not without controversy. It’s been […]

Wish I could tell you more, but I had a great time yesterday evening. I met several incredible candidates who will be running for the General Assembly next year. Can’t wait until you get to meet them…plus…there are more coming! But, I digress. Climate Change Is Here. Now. The denialists weren’t only wrong, they exacerbated […]

Show Notes:
The Bud Light-ization of the MAGA Mind
The Bud Light boycott by MAGA nit wits basically worked. People who drink shitty beer moved on to some other shitty beer because Bud Light gave a trans person a case one time. That success means everything MAGA decides is doesn’t like is going to be “the next Bud Light”. In Florida, for example, […]
Not “hypocritical” but criminal
uhh… can we stop calling Republicans hypocrits and call them what they are is criminals? Voter suppression is a crime. Here is what happened. In Ohio only one specific form can be used to request absentee ballots. Jewish groups were sent the wrong form and they were rejected. Anti-abortion groups were also sent the wrong […]

Sorry for the late post, everybody else is off and my plane was late. The DOJ is appealing the sentences handed down to Oath Keepers because their sentences, including 18 years for head dipshit Stewart Rhodes for seditious conspiracy, are well below sentencing guidelines. Personally, I fail to see why the sentence was not death […]
