I make death jokes for a living, FFS. I've written two, full-length novels of death jokes. But I'm afraid to make any joke that even alludes to recent deaths. And that's just the last couple of days. What am I, what are WE, not going to be able to joke about tomorrow? So much more I can't say...

Hello. The president's continued insistence that the BLS numbers are rigged, political, or otherwise manipulated is a lie. Please stop saying 'baseless claim.' Thank you.

"Gone"? Like Israel trying to eradicate Hamas? In what reality does everything just go *poof* and disappear?
If the Iranian program is now gone, that's a good thing, but as strategists and military planners always warn, the “enemy gets a vote.” The Iranians may respond in ways the U.S. does not expect.

Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself.

CBO just estimated the macrodynamic impact on the cost of the GOP bill - i.e., "is this bill going to help the economy so much that it pays for itself?"
CBO said that the bill pays for just 3.5% of itself - w/ a tiny upfront economic boost that declines over time. Legitimately embarrassing for Rs.

Mussolini did it from the get go. I read a paper years ago by a historical geographer who got hold of a set of timetables and performances during Mussolini's reign. The old saw "at least the trains ran on time?" Yeah, not so much. Just like any racket, there's the ledger, there there is THE LEDGER.
