Just saw a Starlink ad hawking "fast, affordable internet". Given recent events, the good people of Ukraine may beg to differ. Hopefully Europe will dump him as Canada's been doing. Getting all that night-sky-obscuring crap back out of the sky will be an issue for another day...

Katie Zacharia, already ex WH Press Secretary, has set a new record, her tenure lasting approximately 45% of a Scaramucci. The supposed reason for her departure is that she lied about being an actual lawyer. Apparently the limit on people at 1600 Pennsylvania who are allowed to lie is 1.

Odd how Article III thinks it's OK to live stream the first military execution in over 65 years, yet they can't do the same with ICE bodycams...

Willy Wonka (classic Wilder, of course) and lawyer Mitch Landrieu were being interviewed about the economy and upcoming midterms.

Michael Popok has suggested Congress can save the Kennedy center by just sending it "a hundred or two million dollars". So long as that comes out of the White House budget, sounds like a good idea!

It was reported the Russian Finance Minister was invited by U.S. into a meeting at the G20. Why didn't the other nation's reps immediately walk out?

Fort Worth, Texas county officials have been reportedly been trying to close polling locations - many on college campuses - in advance of the upcoming elections You have to wonder why anyone would want to restrict voting access Oh, yeah, I forgot. They're afraid unless they cheat, they'll lose

My mate was the Kodak color correction queen at a photo lab where she worked years ago. She'd look at a print and say, "add magenta", and so on. She likes watching Rachel Maddow, but noticed that compared to whomever the guest might be, she always looks yellow. Wonder what the lighting techs see?

On one of the Sunday shows, Elaine Johnson said a politician's job is to "win elections". That,s funny, I thought their job was to serve their constituents.

Only 78 shopping days until the November elections. Many signs point to a Red Team route. Not because the current Blue Team is that much better, rather that the other guys have so majorly dropped the ball. My hope is that no matter who gets in, they'll actually listen to their constituents.

If Hakeem Jeffries hopes to lead the Democratic U.S. House, he really should learn to answer questions directly Asked point blank about nearly any subject and he waxes on about how we all need change We do, but are you against ICE? For or a single payer health system? Just say so. It's not hard

Freshly anointed US AG Toad Bleach has declared he "just wants to do what's right". As lawyers are often known for obfuscating the true meaning of their words, I'd like to know his true meaning.

Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico says his opponent Ken Paxton is the "most corrupt politician in America." Well, he's pretty close, but there's a guy at 1600 Pennsylvania who has him beat hands down.

An old friend used to have "Bored Meetings", a group of us gathering at one bar or another. Have come to wonder if ๐˜ผ๐™œ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™Š๐™ง๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™š has a typo in the name of his international group, and it's really "Bored of Peace".

The current U.S. President absolutely detests Joe Biden, and his beloved Amtrak, calling for significant budget cuts to the already beleaguered transportation system in 2027.
