if you're the abc news editor who wrote that the nyc mayor attending the 9/11 ceremony is attracting "growing criticism" solely because he's a muslim then you are the criticism you're writing about

This is exactly how he should go out: a slow, gibbering fade, removing all doubt even from his own cult that he is, and always has been, a disaster. For an entire generation, 1/3 of the US population should now be relegated to the very back of the room for civil — much less political — discourse.

True—because opposite of “difficult” is “easy” and that might mean “slutty”… and …just cue America Ferrera’s speech from the Barbie movie.

The best way to get to the bottom of the McConnell question is for the governor to appoint a replacement. The GOP legislature passed a law stripping him of that power, but it goes against the state constitution. If they refuse to seat the replacement, take them to court. There’s zero downside.

So much happening... Lindsey Graham died Saturday night. Mitch McConnell is "recovering from a fall" and can't return to vote yet. Whatever you thought of either man, the actual machinery of the Senate just changed, and I want to walk through how it works in plain language.

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill
How long has it been since you've seen the original "Jurassic Park"?

SAM NEILL The last time I watched it in its totality was sitting beside Princess Di at Leicester Square at the London opening.
On the other side of me was my son Tim - he was 11 and completely swept away by it, but about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart. And the draft was drifting across me to royalty! I spent the whole film in a muck sweat, thinking, "Princess Di is being exposed to the horrors of a little boy's fart, but she's going to think it's me. I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son's crimes, and I don't think she'll talk to me afterwards." But she was well brought up and never mentioned it.
JEFF GOLDBLUM I love that story, Sam.
I've heard him tell that a couple of times, and it's just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.
