The death of Denny Hastert is a sad reminder that there was a time when Republicans shunned pedophiles, not saluted them.

I’m in a room at the La Quinta Inn in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It’s less glamorous than it sounds.

Trump’s ballroom architect resigned after Trump demanded he remove emergency exits and fire safety features and I totally want them to build it now.

Ed Sheeran has apologized for “disappointing” his fans according to the New York Times, but I would think that an Ed Sheeran fan must have a very high threshold for disappointment.

BREAKING: Ed Sheeran to quit Ed Sheeran tour. “It has recently come to my attention that I’m a terrible person,” Sheeran said in a statement, “and I cannot in good conscience continue to be associated with myself.”

Mitch McConnell is scheduled to be back in the Senate on Monday. Less publicized are the rumors of his new chief of staff, Jeff Dunham, who will be at his side at all times.

The spate of TikTok ranchers and farmers tearfully complaining how terrible libs are for suggesting they brought this on themselves aren’t as funny as the GoFundMe links to pay for the funerals of anti-mask zealots who died of COVID, but by God they’re close.

Elon Musk is creating an AI-generated movie version of Hamlet with an all-Danish cast to finally put that asshole Branagh in his place.

“I WENT TO SEE THE ODYSSEY, SO WHY DID CHRISTOPHER NOLAN INCLUDE SPOILERS FOR THE ILIAD, WHICH IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT POEM????? WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!” — Someone on Reddit right now, probably.

17 American servicemen are now reported dead because of the Iran War. At this rate, we’ll catch up to the number of Iranian schoolgirls killed by January of 2029.

Saw The Odyssey this afternoon. Great movie, but I thought the mid-credits scene teasing the next installment in the Homerverse was a bit much.

On our recent cross-country drive, The Boy and I went to a dinosaur museum near the Utah-Colorado border. The next day, Sam Neill died.  So tomorrow we’re going to Trump Tower.

70s glam-rock star Gary Glitter has been charged with unlawful sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 and three counts of indecent assault on a girl under 14. In response, Netflix has offered him a 90-minute special.

At this rate I expect the fireworks to light the algae on fire.

Trump’s now claiming activist traitors have been planting algae in the reflecting pool. Next he’ll be accusing Antifa of shitting his pants.

At this point, Donald Trump’s Iran debacle has progressed from him shitting the bed to the worst version of Goldilocks.

New plan: yes, in 2029 we pack the court with four more justices, but I say every single one that’s nominated is a black woman. Then we start hearing about John Roberts having at least one massive and spontaneous nosebleed a day.

If Anderson Cooper’s reward for sneaking out the back door at 60 Minutes like a coward is that Paramount acquires Warner Bros and puts Bari Weiss in charge of CNN, well, I’m gonna laugh until I get a debilitating cramp.

Based on the number of times I’ve seen it on a shelf vs the number of times anyone has suggested we play it, which is zero, I’m going to hazard a guess that the game Parcheesi sucks.

Anderson Cooper wants to know if he can call backsies on his “spending more time with my kids” story and go with the “bravely speaking truth to power” thing instead.

Based on what we know from The Bible, Jesus would heal the sick and the lame, and feed the poor, but he didn’t have a lot of time to listen to their bullshit.

Rapist and pedophile Michael Jackson’s biopic earned $97M on its opening weekend, suggesting that if only Donald Trump had better dance moves and some chart-topping hits, his approval ratings would be over 70 percent.

No, MAGA Catholics aren’t going to desert Trump over his recent posts. Hard-core Catholics have YEARS of practice making excuses for pedophiles.

It’s true that “Melania” has a worse Metacritic score than “Cats” but it’s also true I’d watch either film immediately if they released a butthole cut.

I hope Stephen Miller gets fired soon so he can persue his destiny, assuming the role of Riff Raff in a remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

In the future, assuming we still have history books, they will tell that the turning point in this current nightmare was when ICE finally murdered a straight white man, and some Republicans and even Centrist Democrats said, “This has gone too far.”

I’m going to see The Bone Temple this weekend because I support any movie where the porn parody title and the original title are the same. Other movies on that list: In Her Shoes The Nun The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Predators

Where are these ICE clowns getting their uniforms? Seriously, in any large group they don’t even match. Garage sales at militia compounds? Left-over Spirit of Halloween stores? Do Bass Pro Shops have an authoritarian cosplay section?

I’m writing a remake of Fight Club where everyone obeys the goddamned rules and doesn’t talk about it, so the membership doesn’t grow. Then it’s just a movie about a group of incels beating each other to death in a basement. So it’s a feel-good comedy is what I’m saying.

Will Dick Durbin retire NOW if we promise to buy him a feral stray cat? It’ll hate him, scratch and bite him, and he’ll still end up feeding it five times a day because he’ll give in every time it meows. He’ll be in Heaven!
