I just watched "Downey Wrote That," a documentary about the legendary comedy writer Jim Downey from SNL and Letterman. It talks about his love of the comedy of laboriously explaining things that don't require any explanation, as in this beautiful example: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vooe...

European & US colonialism was as evil as fascism & in fact gave birth to it. To have someone at the top of the US government openly celebrating it & yearning for its return is ominous indeed.

The good news about an explicitly "Might Makes Right" foreign policy, where we do whatever we want to other countries because we can, is it will benefit us without causing blowback

Yes, the US attack on Venezuela is bad news. The good news is we now can count on the powerful new grassroots anti-war movement in the Republican Party to impeach President Trump.

Appropriate that they used a Japanese artist’s work to promote internment and deportation. Steal the creativity and labor, cleanse the people.

This guy used to be an investment banker with Salomon Brothers & Citigroup. There are tons of cranks like him at the top of American society who truly believe these right-wing urban legends. It's like he's earnestly explaining the existence of Slender Man.
