Fish in a jaunty boater.
I'm too busy asking the journalism program for my money back.

Proper tea is theft.

Given the amount of legs, does it just look like a bunch of asterisks?

So Joe Rogan?

The traditional celebration is putting on some sunglasses and sneaking out of work early.

Chicago had one too! A local news site had a contest to name it. I submitted "Richard J. Scaly" but was knocked out in the first round of the bracket.

Australia is a good model here as well. Not perfect, but their worst historical political scandals (Playmander, etc.) are just called "life" here in the States.

I don't know how to get to 27ish members without court-packing (lord knows I wouldn't give the current president and Congress 18 picks), but I would love to get to a system where you can't hijack an entire branch of government by buying five out of nine unimpeachable lifetime politicall appointees.

I would also like the Supreme Court to adopt a structure similar to the European Court of Justice. Large membership (they have 27, but that's based off the number of EU countries), renewable six-year appointments and they hear cases in randomly assigned panels of 3, 5 or 15.

Sorry, I meant "John Wicked: And your little dog, too!"

I'll agree as soon as I see any actual satire online. 99.999% of online "satire" is just shitty right-wingers testing the waters in a way they can say "Just kidding!" when they get any pushback. Same tactics as a teenage boy 'joking' about sleeping with a female friend.

The 0.001% is The Onion.

To clarify, watch the drop on TV with my wife while the kids are in bed. I ain't hauling to Indiana.

That would make me hate kittens, like how Malcolm McDowell couldn't listen to Beethoven in a Clockwork Orange.
