I feel like we're sleeping on the closet full of upper torsos.

Not a great run this morning by any standard, but I got out there.

On the plus side, beautiful weather in Chicago.

Hard to find a more obvious example of the journalism adage “If someone says it’s raining outside and someone else says it isn’t, your job is not to quote them both, your job is to go outside.”

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

This is like Santa Anna telling his band to play "El Degüello."

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa
by Arnold Lobel

Commemorative Edition

It’s true: the cities are lawless and scary, if you live here sell your property as fast as possible, particularly if you have a 2 family row house from the 1920s with those nice bay windows.

American voters: yeah, let's put this dude in charge of a 28-trillion dollar economy.

Our local Greek joint (free nightly entertainment with the excellent food: the waiters screaming at each other in Greek) called that a "peasant salad" but it didn't have green peppers.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

I've probably been PC gaming longer than this jackass has been alive and I don't want boobs that look like deployed airbags.

I’m going to once again say, the major media outlets and political dilettantes of the centrist variety are responsible for this.

They let these lies become routine. They will be weaponized to arrest and silence dissenters, very soon now.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Just about sums it up.

Two panel graphic featuring the chair of the Nobel Committee.

First panel: Reporter, 'Why didn't Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize?'

Thanks. Watership Down is my favorite novel. I try to reference it wherever and whenever possible.

"Needy's body was never found. It could be that she still lives her fierce life somewhere else, but from that day on, producers would tell their indie bands that if they did not do as they were told, Needy would get them."
