Sometimes bad news is just delightful
Dear Friends, I've been sidetracked with another project for a while but I had to come out of hiding for a second to recap some of last week's insanity. There's no way to get to it all. Melania Trump telling Christmas to fuck off didn't even make the top 10. Blockbuster stories that normally would …

Relax, y'all. The House of Representatives is taking care of business with this whole Russia thing. No, really, they're taking care of businesses in the energy sector with a new report from the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.

A big fat flounder in an ocean of bullshit

Get Me Roger Stone: The Unofficial Recap
The original version of this recap covered most of the film’s scenes and was slightly less disjointed but it was 2000 words long and that made some Russians pretending to be from Texas really mad so I cut it down for them. Also, nobody wants to read 2000 words about anything anymore. You should see …
NFL Protests: Admit it. It’s about race.
Hey asshole friend, “they” are Americans, Americans who are silently asking not to be killed or treated differently because they are not white.
