Remember how the Yippies used to joke about dumping LSD into big cities' water supplies? Maybe they weren't kidding. Sometimes it takes a while to come on.

Miss Mia Sopaipilla is resting comfortably after having a cyst removed from just above her right eye. I have it on good authority that she's dreaming about using Beelzebozo's new Tesla as a combination scratching post/litter box.

If a Forest Service falls in the wilderness you're definitely gonna hear it. There won't be anyplace to drive your Sprinter to, except the mall. Which will probably be closed, too.

Hey, when did Ralph Spoilsport Motors open a White House dealership? They really do it in the road at their West Gomorrah location.

AOC Rips β€œTyrannical and Un-American” Arrest of Mahmoud Khalil Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a serious warning about the ICE arrest of Palestinian activist (and U.S. green card holder) Mahmoud Khalil.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a β€œtyrannical” move.

Health Update - Kevin Drum With a heavy heart, I have to tell you that after a long battle with cancer my husband Kevin Drum passed away on Friday, March 7, 2025. No public memorial services are planned. In lieu of flowers, ple...

Sad news. Kevin Drum, one of the good guys, has gone west. He was a blogger I turned to regularly for his take on the day's news, which he kept providing until just a few days before he passed. Peace to Kevin, his wife, Marian, and their cats, Hilbert and Charlie.

The Firesign Theatre could be considered our Monty Python. Smart guys, absurd humor. Never got the same sort of traction, though; better at audio than video.

I started listening to them in high school and saw them live once in Denver.

You can wander through their history here: firesigntheatre.com

The good news about "springing forward" tomorrow is that we're spared an hour of facetime with the shit monsoon from DeeCee.

I think I was channeling the Firesign Theatre's readings from "The T.B. Guide" on the album "Dear Friends" when I wrote that. They were always funny and often true.

Wile E. Coyote on the railroad tracks, holding a sign that reads "Stop in the name of humanity."

On the next episode of "Che!", Fidel (W.E. Coyote) explains to Che (Frankie Quinones) that the key to overthrowing the Batista regime is wearing pink fatigues, standing on the railroad tracks, and holding signs with the revolutionary slogan "Stop in the Name of Humanity."

I was so lucky to have that small, deeply disturbed gaggle of editors and readers who kept saying, "Yes, please, more of that barely printable lunacy completely unrelated to our core mission; here, take this money."

The onliest thing I ever could pitch was a fit.

The problem with Democratic Party is that no one takes them seriously because they don’t take themselves seriously.

You can’t simultaneously argue Trump is a fascist intent on destroying democracy but your major response is to wear a pink suit to a speech, and expect to be taken seriously.

I was thinking maybe a butter gun but it's getting warm out and it might get a tad droopy.

Do we bring butter or guns? I'm guessing we can't afford both.

The Tuberville Trolley goes off the rails again. I assume he sits on a sandwich to eat it because he's clearly shitting out of his mouth.

Beelzebozo has all the tugging on it and groveling well in hand, thanks. He doesn't need any help there.

Hey, it's The Washington Post. Its ownership specializes in "profoundly soulless and offensive." To him it's a feature, not a bug.
