Whether it's James Talarico getting the flu or Ken Paxton giving kids measles, both candidates have brushes with communicable diseases.

Whether it’s Democrats giving students the day off for Martin Luther King Day or Texas Republicans reducing school to 4 days a week to finance more tax breaks, both parties have cut the number of school days.

To everyone worked up about Kimberly Guilfoyle, remember: Donald Trump does what she did every single day and on a much, much, much larger scale.

Whether it's Bill Clinton using tax-payer money to pay for the postage on letters back to people who wrote to his cat or Donald Trump steering hundreds of millions of dollars in government contracts to his son's companies, both presidents engaged in corruption on an unprecedented scale.

It was the Trump administration’s latest stumble in its effort to find proof of widespread noncitizen voting, despite decades of evidence that it is extremely rare.

Doctors say that the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania is likely due to low rates of vaccination. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his van says it’s caused by chemtrails. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

The dumbest thing about the whole Ed Sheeran thing is he identifies as a "culturally Irish" musician, and is seemingly touring with half of Ireland, and yet somehow had no clue that Irish musicians have been the single longest and loudest chorus of voices in Europe about what is happening.

My three-year-old was at the Ed Sheeran concert when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why isn't the nice white rapper performing?" And when I told her "Because an old guy who visits teen-aged prostitutes had him cancelled," she started crying.

Domaine Tempier Cabassaou Bandol Rouge 2022, Provence, France 

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium intensity.

Fruity nose with red and black fruits, spices and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, plums, light oak, spices, chocolates, coffee, licorice, tobacco leaf, earth and light black tea.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Single Vineyard Mourvedre from a great vintage in Bandol. Fruit forward and rich. Nicely balanced with a smooth mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining. 

Already very approachable, although still very young, and needs time to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves. 

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food. 

A blend of 95% Mourvedre, with Cinsault and Syrah. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of less than 3,000 bottles. 

14.5% alcohol by volume. 

92 points. 


$140.

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.

In this Ohio diner, Harp still means the woke lager you're forced to order when the bar is all out of Miller, Coors, and Bud. But they do know this: All presidents have affairs with printer-wielding young women who resemble their daughter, but the media only reports when Trump does it.
