For the record, whenever I see the word “pariah” my default mental image is of South American river fish with razor sharp teeth.

Facebook reminds me that on this day, September 23rd, in 2014, President Obama saluted a Marine while holding a latte. The horror.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.
It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."
Because that's not how America works.

Really fed up with this “It’s only OK if we do it” bullshit.
Republicans Are Mad That Democrats Are Confirming Lots Of Biden's Judges
“No more Judges confirmed before Inauguration Day!” Trump said on social media. But Democrats are making judges a priority in the lame duck ― just like the GOP did, too.

CMS is a real job. Maybe a TV host can pretend to do some mid-tier cabinet position while a deputy does the real work. CMS is a technocratic job responsible for 6,000 employees, complicated billing policy, HIPAA, etc.
Dr. Oz knows how to do precisely none of that.

This is weird. On my tablet using the Dish app, MSNBC ch 209 keeps disappearing from the “News” tab, but is available under the “See All” tab during the live DNC convention. The next morning it’s back under the News tab. It’s happened both nights.
