Shall we dance?

I love a good musical. This ain’t one of ’em.

On a bright cloud of bullshit shall we fly?

  This is the dude who is making Brother Pierce nervous these days. It had been Tom Cotton, but he’s too obvious.
  
  Hawley reminds me of the young David Duke, who likewise was selling the same old bullshit in a brand-new wrapper.

    I think the “polite sedition” idea went down the Crapper Vortex with that honky version of the black power salute.

    Rest in Peace… Sheldon Adelson
    
    The man who did so much to heal the rift in Israel.

  Funny thing about the book S&S won’t publish. It’s mostly talking points fed to the GOP by Russian psyops guys, mostly operating out of Macedonia. They’re going to win the Cold War rematch without firing a shot.

    Wouldn’t it be interesting if publishers acquired and released books on the basis of the quality of the writing and reasoning instead of the pedigrees of the authors?

It wasn’t like they were sitting around a camp fire drinking beer and singing Wednesday night. Did we really expect them to kiss and make up while locked in the safe rooms arguing about wearing masks?

  Nah, ’course not. It’s still all even-steven, unless you’re one of the dead people, or thought elections should be decided by, like, y’know, the voters, an’ shit.
  
  But the song started playing in my head and I thought it was funny. Same ol’ conga line down the same ol’ trail to nowhere.

  It was funny, but I think Yul has more hair than donny.

No worries mate. Those dingbats are destroying themselves and doing a good job of it so far. And Adelson won’t be feeding them any more money. So, for a change, how about this?

  A most welcome change of pace, señor. Muchas gracias.

  Now for some really funny shit. Heard this on NPR driving to the grocer this morning. Pobrecito. His mom says the boy needs an organic diet. A real tough guy.

  Another showboat. He will be a senator soon.
  
  Speaking of the Village Idiot People and their boffo performance, Caitlin Flanagan brings some top-shelf snark over at The Atlantic.
  
  Three sample grafs:
  
  If they were animated by any idea, it was that America had somehow gone off track. It had something to do with feminism. It had something to do with Obama-ism. It had something to do with “globalism” and “Marxism.” In other words: It’s the Jews again.
  
  Outside, a young woman named Elizabeth was weeping and holding a blue terry-cloth towel to her eyes, while a man beside her tried to comfort her. “I made it, like, a foot inside,” she told a reporter, her voice an admixture of misery and grievance, “and they pushed me out and they maced me!” She made it sound like this had happened to her at the Air and Space Museum. When the reporter asked her where she was from, she said, “Knoxville, Tennessee,” in an especially aggrieved tone, as though this was itself part of the outrage. Maced? A person from Knoxville?
  
  Why had she come to Washington? “We’re storming the Capitol!” she whined. “It’s a revolution!” Patty Hearst was more up to speed on the philosophy and goals of the Symbionese Liberation Army before she got out of the trunk. These people were dressed like cartoon characters, they believe that the country is under attack from pedophiles and “globalists,” and they are certain that Donald Trump won the election. In other words, the Founders’ worst fear—that a bunch of dumbasses would elect a tyrant—had come to pass.

    It is as if Joseph Conrad had Kurtz saying, “The imbecility; the imbecility.” Truly, we are part of a nation of dumb bunnies. Dale
