So now, Prez & Hegseth are making a snuff film (sorry, snuff livestream) in our names and with our money.

I have never liked Amy Klobuchar better than yesterday, when she came to the aid of Jack Smith with her quick-witted sleuthing. Thank you, Senator K.!

Dear Democratic candidates: When you are on MS NOW or some other friendly platform, please have the courtesy to answer the question that was asked, don’t just launch your talking points & request a donation. Looking at you, Jon Ossoff. But not just you.

So, Dumbo-with-a-B's planned triumphal arch will be fortified with drones and snipers. In other words... ...AN ARCH-Y BUNKER ? ? ? ? ?

I'm puzzled when Prez cries"fake news" when he gets a tough question. A question is not "news," fake or otherwise. But his answer COULD be "real" news if it's truthful & he has evidence to support it. Wouldn't fielding such questions be a great opportunity for him? Shouldn't he welcome them?

I've long wondered if I'm the only one who--when the 1997 Sylvester Stallone crime-drama "Copland" came out--saw the title and thought, "Oh, this could be interesting: A biopic about Aaron Copland."

They say you can find anything you want in NYC, but to that I say, "Where do I find boysenberries?!" I look high and low every summer--Whole Foods, Fairway, farmers' markets, etc.--but to no avail.

So, with the White House cage fight we had our gladiators. With this D.C. "Grand Prix 250" we're having our chariot races. Wake me up when NincomPOTUS puts on his best toga and marries his horse.

Seth Meyers continues his hiatus through September 21! (I'd thought for sure he would be back right after Labor Day. But, no....) Meanwhile, Fallon has new episodes this week. 🙄 NBC, what the what? Meanwhile, looking forward to Rosie O'Donnell on for Jimmy Kimmel! 👏

There must be NO tax-related immunity for POTUS and his rapacious spawn and cronies! And no chance whatsoever for a slush fund to award one cent to Jan. 6 creeps who injured Capitol police and defiled the Capitol bldg. with their feces! Senators, say no to any loophole that gives Trump an inch.

All my young life I was lectured about how boys & men should be strong & not put up w/ crap from bullies. One year "Santa Claus" even brought boxing gloves for me & my brother. Dad tried to teach me to fight. Someone... plz scold the big, str8 GOP lugs in Congress who enable POTUS. Damn sissies.

Do MAGA parents tell their kids: Don't bully your classmates, don't tell lies, don't brag, don't run your mouth when you don't know what you're talking about? Or do they urge them to follow the example set by the cult leader and behave like absolute hellions?

I am VERY sorry that Stephanie Ruhl is leaving The 11th Hour. Her humor and charm are a huge part of why it's such a watchable show. All I'll say about her successor is...he's certainly ubiquitous.

This offer is one of the weirdest offers ever. Plz let us know when they restock & you get the posters. BB&B should make towels printed w/ each half of the photo, one w/ Jedgar (as Lily Tomlin's Ernestine used to call him) and one w/ Clyde. Both labeled "HIS." Hope your trip's been good, Matt!

"I don't even think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody."--Donald J. Trump We are going to hear this quotation a thousand times in the next 2 1/2 years--as well we should. He's really having cognitive programs when he slips up and says something that's not a lie.

Mark Dundas Wood @markdundaswood.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Trump kept talking about how fuel prices were going down. So, why did he then feel the need to announce a gas-tax holiday? It’s like he doesn’t believe his own words or something. Is something wrong with him (beyond his obvious incompetence, cruelty, corruption, and vast disregard for the law)?

Last night was the first 2026 show in Stephen Hanks’s Blue Wave fundraising series to help elect sane Senate/House candidates. This year, though, it’s billed as Blue Tsunami.” Cabaret performers on Thursday included Karen Akers and Nicolas King. 3 more midterm-year shows to come.

I can’t stress enough how much I value Molly Jong-Fast’s “Fast Politics” podcast episodes. They truly help me get through the week in this effed-up era of ours. 🌞

Did I just hear Tim O'Brien use the expression "part and participle" on "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell"? That's a new one to me, but...it kind of makes sense, and I sort of like it.

Only a matter of days, really, before threatening to destroy a whole civilization if the Strait of H wasn't opened, DJT said USA didn't need the Strait. Remember? His rash, blithering vacillation is easily documented. Keep pointing it out--including to his face. www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6a...

Is something delaying SCOTUS's ruling on tariffs? There were rumors weeks ago that it was imminent.

Mark Dundas Wood @markdundaswood.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Gentle reminder to DJT: You didn’t inherit the presidency as a king inherits a crown. You were elected by voters, to whom you answer. We expect a modicum of respect for us & for our rights as citizens. That includes those of us who didn’t vote for you. If this doesn’t suit you, kindly step down.

A whopping 4% of Americans support our alleged President's bid for Greenland. On this one, can 96% of Congress please stand together and make sure that this fancy of his won't go anywhere (other than the Capitol shredder)? Pretty please.

Oh, AI....🙁 Just found a YouTube video w/ audio telling the life story of Richard Deacon. About half the photos in the video montage are of Richard Deacon the actor. The other half are of Richard Deacon the sculptor. Nobody QCs these AI concoctions at all before putting them up to be watched?

Mark Dundas Wood @markdundaswood.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Anyone shocked by the prez's rhetoric toward Greenland & NATO should recall that time in 2017 when he shoved aside the PM of Montenegro at a NATO event. I swear I saw this: A video clip of that incident was used in a 2024 campaign vid. By HIS campaign! Yep, he ran on his credentials as a bully/thug.

Along with typing skills, the most useful thing I may have received from my education at Yamhill-Carlton HS in Oregon in the early 1970s was likely a complimentary copy of “It Pays to Enrich Your Word Power” by Peter Funk.

At the final performance of ”Bat Boy” at City Center yesterday, the outpouring of affection for Kerry Butler was remarkable. Her performance (with Gabi Carrubba) of the enormously appealing “Three Bedroom House” earned thunderous & sustained applause you don’t hear every day. Absolutely thrilling.

When it comes to mild expletives...why don't people say, "Oh, rats!" anymore to express exasperation or similar annoyance? This was a staple of the 1960s, along with the epithet "rat fink." But, gradually, these went away. I say welcome the pestilential rodents back to the lexicon! 🐀 🐀🐀
