I couldn’t remember Tonya Harding’s name, so I checked Nancy Kerrigan’s Wikipedia entry, and now I can’t clear my head of the remembered sound of David Letterman saying “Gillooly.”

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

one of the reasons voters believe the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans is because the democratic party itself believes in the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Fun fact: Gordon Lightfoot wrote the song first, and then sank the Edmund Fitzgerald himself in what has come to be recognized as one of the first viral marketing stunts

Finally got myself a physical copy of first-edition Fiasco, plus the Companion. Found ’em on eBay, $10 for both, plus $8 for shipping.

What exactly will this “fighting” consist of, now that the caucus has given up the small amount of leverage it had?
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare
We will keep fighting

Just saw someone refer to “Stan Rogers' shipwreck song,” and I had to check to see that they were talking about “The Mary Ellen Carter,” and not “Flowers of Bermuda” or “The Wreck of the Athens Queen.”

an arc where the former governor of NY loses increasingly inconsequential elections until the series finale is him trying to run for senior class president at a local high school and getting his ass kicked by some 17 year olds.

I’m gonna be playing Monsterhearts for the first time on Sunday, with a group of people I don’t know well, so I made up a bunch of fancy X-cards, so I can be sure there’ll be some on hand.
