So yesterday afternoon, the Current Disgrace tweeted this: I am not going to get into all the LAW, ORDER [,] and JUSTICE that the Republican Administration is doing all over the place at the moment.[1] Rather, allow me to address the premise of the direct intravenous shot of fear and anger he’s giving his amygdala-based […]
…or at least that’s the only reasonable explanation for this: This is the chart Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Derp) plopped out the other day during the House Judiciary Committee oversight hearing. They were interviewing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and some of the lesser-brained were asking/demanding that Sessions launch a special prosecutor to investigate ALL THE CLINTON […]
A friend rather foolishly clicked on a link in a spam email yesterday. Fortunately,[1] it just leads to a webpage that first asks you to make sure you have your sound on, and then proceeds to auto-play a slideshow that is nothing but text, which the narrator then reads out loud to us. Oy. It […]
I was all geared up to deconstruct the vicious rhetorical fuppery used by the appallingly incompetent Katie Britt, an actual Senator from Alabama, in her official GOP response to President Biden’s State of the Union address last week, but Gary Legum did a great job over at the inestimable Wonkette, so I’m going to take […]

Some idiot in the Montana legislature has taken it into his head that we should not be infecting […]
(An earlier version of this post, and tweets referring to it, named Arkansas as the state in question. Even though the mistake is understandable, we regret the error. Oklahoma, this is on you, babe.) As you probably are already aware, the amygdala-based lifeforms among us have decided to be afraid of something called Critical Race […]
Getting America “back to God” is simple, right?
I’ve been reading back through this blog and have come to a conclusion: I write really well. But let that pass. Here’s a thought I had after reading one of my Liberal Rants posts.[1] The post is titled Amygdalas. Why is it always amygdalas?, and it’s an explication of a spam email that invites you […]
