I once sang, “From where I stand you look like ants / and there’s an aardvark in my pants.” It wasn’t literally true at the time. I don't have anything to sell you... except hope! Ha ha jk. Past talent: soundcloud.com/johnpontoon

Surely at some point, organizations had a sensible bias against being led by know-nothing dumbfucks? I believe this must be true because humanity has torn iron from the ground and made it into buildings a thousand feet high.

He wears his headgear (cowl?) while he also wears a biohazard suit helmet - what is up with that?

Fridtjof Nansen, how you look so cool in 1890? I hope he’s still alive.
Photo of Fridtjof Nansen from 1890. He looks cool.

In 10 years, if this motherfucker isn’t disbarred and trying to be a KFC assistant manager, I am going to give the successor of the successor of the successor of Bluesky a real piece of my mind.

Still loving that Biden press conference when he announced that it would be cheugy to take advantage of SCOTUS's ruling that laws aren't for Presidents.

It's so funny that Republicans consistently lay out exactly what the Democrats should do/campaign on doing for the most easily guaranteed wave of victories in history and then the Democrats dutifully refuse to ever even consider it.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

I favor the ultimate sanction, but thought leaders seem to think that that might make things worse.

I reckon I probably found it via you in the first place. But obviously my presumptuous Hilary-blaming is what’s really essential.

Here’s a link to an article (under my bitching) about how Dems literally blocked the merest attempt to build a corresponding network of radio stations that would cost next to nothing.

How the left did NOT create their right-wing talk radio network. The article details how Bill Clinton fucked progressive voices in 1996 and an unnamed Senator (but it's Hillary Clinton) fucked progressive voices in 2010.

If you punch “whence Portland frog” into google, nothing useful ensues.

And it is galling like a motherfucker that the party that hates the nation’s education is the one that tactically pulverizes the other. I believe that the fucking Clintons’ malign influence is at the heart of the Dem impotence. Bill all but invented governing by poll, as well as Dems tacking right.

The GOP has had symbiotically connected plans and policies in place for damn near 55 years to get to this point, although of course very few could have expected the culmination of their plans to be the explosive hobbling of the USA as a world leader politically, culturally, and economically.
