  1. Is there any chance of Iowa's Democratic party rebranding themselves a la Minnesota and their Democrat Farm Labor (DFL) party? It obviously takes more than just changing the letterhead to change Iowa blue, but Iowa has too many sensible moderates to be stuck with full on GQP/MAGA leadership.

  2. It's the only answer she can give, shitty as it is. Her only chance at the nomination is Trump's continued legal woes and/or him becoming physically incapacitated. Whatever slim hope she has depends on her not entirely alienating the GQP base. The MAGAts will never vote for a non-Trump candidate but she might be able to steal enough other votes along the way to make it interesting.

    So... On the thread of hot ass news, we get one black chick... and the first response isnt about her looks, but that she's not well spoken. 

    Guess what... I don't even know if Jennifer Reyna or any of these other chicks are literate. Don't care.  I didn't come here to see Michelle Obama and Oprah speak, did I?

    No, I can here to see them white wimmen tiddays and a sprinkle of minorities that earned the right (and I suppose that includes Pooja, because she's 4'2" which creates some intrigue.)

    This isn't NPR.

    This is surly.

    No, the first part of my response was "Jala's awesome." And she is. She's great in many ways & I watch her religiously every Sat and Sun morning. But she fucks up names on the reg (as I'm sure others do; I just don't watch them) & I hope that it's not held against her.

    And I refuse to believe that over 34 pages that La Quita Culpepper has NOT been given her proper accolades. I saw her first (probably quite literally; she lived down the street in HS).

  4. I wouldn't credit the cheering "fans" much. They were likely a mixture of his traveling sycophants + some random they gave twenty bucks and a t-shirt to stand in the front row & make noise. It's as phony and staged as any of his events.

    What I can't wait to see is the GQP members in the wild wearing those hideous things. I'm sure Ted Cruz has already ordered a pair. MTG too. But when Abbott rolls up sporting a pair it will truly be the chef's kiss of idiocy.

  5. Jala Washington of KXAN looking like a little snack this morning in some tight-fitting shiny shit.

    Jala is awesome but my God she can barely read a teleprompter. One of these days I'm afraid KXAN is going to can her for being unable to pronounce names & words for shit, but maybe they're just cool with her being so bad because how many people really care at 7AM on Saturday?

    Dude, that's as boot camp as it gets. 

    Appreciate the insight as someone who never served. I get that Kubrick was trying to showcase the lack of education in many of the Vietnam-era enlistees/draftees, but that line always sounds forced to me. I'll try to hear it with new ears going forward.

    Truly sad.  Hell he's 5 years older than my mom and she's in a nursing home unable to move basically, but still sharp mentally 5 years from now, who knows...).   I don't think he is near the end, but I do believe he is totally done creatively, o

     

    One of the most brilliant songs ever written, if you're musically inclined, just try to mentally figure the chord structure out as this is playing, where is the center?  You can't do it..

     

     

    Dude, he's 81 fucking years old. How much runway do you think he has left to use?

  8. In the Esquire article they indicate it was Ray Charles speaking up and saying "ring the bell, Quincy" loud enough to be heard by most that led to Quincy regaining control & focusing the group on the task at hand. Did that make the doc? I can't imagine how much weight Ray Fucking Charles could throw in a room just by speaking up.

    Nice job trying to shoehorn an attendance dig at us into the conversation here. Quite the sick burn!

    That's just the kinda hot take slorch uses to keep him warm while tech wanders the cold, desolate wasteland of irrelevance (aka "Lubbock").

    I had a ton of friends make some sort of "I really don't like Trump but man, it's hard to argue with my 401k" comments in 2018/2019.

    They are suspiciously silent now.

    They all seem to have moved to "inflation has made all of my gains meaningless."
