Maybe a cross between Boo Radley and a quasar? I'd rather just stay on the porch but: "Like Ulysses S. Grant, it was an instance of a village crank being called by his Republic" I do this instead of leaving you gifts in a tree.

So when the gears in his head mesh briefly he spews out '70s porn talk. He could have just as easily been talking to Ted Cruz or a poster for a Joe Don Baker movie.

They broke the mold and THEN they made Hedgie. I wouldn't care if he went up to bat without one.

Has anybody else ever noticed that when he does manage to speak in complete sentences he often uses the cadence and repetition and pauses of a Baptist preacher?

I haven't owned a weapon in decades & abhor gun lunatics but I hope the armed lefties overlap with the gun weenies and scare the living shit out of them. It will because the vast majority of morons stereotype everything. Plus they've already made it plain that their arsenal never meant dick.

One more pedestrian asshole who does not understand what "the mob"/"our thing" means. No wonder he's relegated to blowing it out his ass in front of a live camera. There are many things on this earth which are not awaiting his description of them.

god, I hate typos.

I have been devasted by the murder of some people.

I'd been wondering what this filth bomb reminded me of and turns out it was Tom Metzger, his hideous actions and what befell him.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Met...
"Metzger was mandated to make payments to Seraw's family for the remainder of his life."

Look up "vicarious liability." Is that Alex?

...& don't forget The Firesign Theatre's Eyeball Hats. Always ahead of their time...

"a specific piece of merchandise mentioned in Firesign Theatre's 1998 album Give Me Immortality or Give Me Death."

When did "I haven't seen it" become the GOP Cloak of Invisibility?

Grand Ostrich Party? Should we create a pink & yellow O for them to wear in shame if things actually don't pan out for them?

Sometimes you just have to tell somebody to put their pants back on and fuck off.

Some GREAT posts. Go to any library and find Langston Hughes books and they are beat to death & read so hard the words are falling off the pages. I can't think of a better way to respect an author. All my life I've haunted used book stores, bought used books in whatever shape & given them away.

YES. Goddamnit, yes. He is the opposite of that. He is a coward. He is obsessed with attention. He wants his picture taken. He wants relentless attention. He commits chaos every waking moment. NOTHING runs smoothly AND: (say it with me now) He. Always. Chickens. Out. His word is no good. Got that?

Boy, just imagine if your flight makes an unexpected stop (at 400 mph) in somebody's back 40 because an air traffic controller fell asleep after coming straight from their all-nighter @ Walmart because they're not getting paid otherwise and one of the last faces you see is her malignant...mask.

Vladimir Nabokov or possibly Jerry Lee Lewis.

"Epstein on the back/Sun roof top/Diggin' the scene/With a gangster lean..."

...apologies to William DeVaughn for paraphrasing "Be Thankful for What You Got." Haven't met him but he might want the Epstein files released as well. Emblazoned on any garment front or back. On that or any other day.

Ask any old people you might know about the Pilots.

eddiegaedel @eddiegaedel.bsky.social · 1d

You know it.

It brings me great joy to imagine what his life will be like when there's no longer anybody around to tell him what to think or who he is.

If your treat is being allowed to rent a car and you are averse to walking & you're in the last place that'll put your sorry ass in one it is best not to have to be told WALK. And if the renter gets their little feelings hurt and whines to off-site MGMT, The Customer is Always Drunk. Always worked.

We may have to ask that guy who thought Kathy Lee Gifford had a radio in her head put there by aliens.

And he gave Trump something like ten million dollars before he realized he was an asshole? I woulda tipped him off for a hundred bucks and a case of Roundup.

That's Gerald Ford. His middle name was Rudolph. I could really get on board with an antlered Mr. Potato Head (maybe a red nose too) as long as RFK Jr. was elsewhere. Like maybe replacing shot out windows at the CDC.

So Witkoff is embalmed too?
