I have had similar thoughts, and I would like it to be true, but I'm still very much on alert. These noxious weeds have a way of growing back.

I bet the owner of this truck has a good cry once a week, as the steroids and the sounds of laughter take their toll.

Donald needs advice from Vlad.

Perhaps it's time for the American oligarchs to start falling out of upper story windows in an unusual string of accidents.

We do!
We don't!

Yup. Did you ever try to talk tax policy with a Tea Party type? Like a pigeon on a chessboard.

A dramatic and devastating recession is still possible. That would sort of do the trick.

Well done!

It still boggles my mind that we are well into the 21st century and we need to work so hard to defend and sustain science. My education in the 60's and 70's was steeped in "STEM" and it enriched my life.

I'm gonna go out on a limb (snerk) and predict Santos will be scamming people within a month or two. This is not a habit easily broken.

Oh, for crying out loud.

My civil engineering brain just broke.

Good think that region is not subject to catastrophic earthquakes, right?

Evidently, Mike Johnson has decided he enjoys being a TV personality more than being Speaker of the House.

Every day we get this nebbish.

Maybe we should wear tricorn hats adorned with tea bags.

Anyway, the Tea Party movement was basically an astroturf operation. Where the hell is my Soros check?
