His team placed the story with Axios expecting to capitalize on the publicity bump that came from his big gotcha moment in the Senate hearing. Oops.

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

Look at McSchmuck there on the left with the middle part, seeing his job prospects go up in smoke. And he must have been so excited to have been picked to hold up that poster.

Can confirm that he is an exceptionally lovely person, and that he is also a hugger.

Oh, that looks like it is very nicely done. I'd be curious to know how long they run.

WTF is the deal with that itinerary? 6 hours apiece in a series of progressively shittier California cities, then moving on.

While I am a strong believer in the rule that one should never ask a question to which one would really rather not hear the answer... how exactly would they "test" for that?

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

You could also follow the model of several people I have worked with in my life and just be such an entirely disagreeable person that any life advice that was offered would be understood as a clear instruction from the universe to do the opposite.
