He also called Ketanji Brown Jackson, with two Harvard degrees, a "diversity hire." (He dropped out of community college.) He smirked at the deaths of the Minnesota lawmakers: "Total shocker that smearing a duly-elected president...as a fascist or a king leads to violent political radicalization."

The Detroit corollary to telling the rookie reporter to always get the dog's name? Always get the make and model of any vehicle used to run down a bad guy. There are people in this town who are keenly invested in this information.

Poor Stephen Miller. Cuckolded by Elon, and now this. P.S. Landscaping companies will identify as farms in the near future.

What I learned today, from reaction to my wordy sign:
** People are PISSED at faux-Dems like Slotkin and Peters
** Especially Peters, and also
** Especially Slotkin
** Some didn’t know about these votes, so I showed them on my phone. (Even people engaged enough to come to a rally miss some things.)

Speaking of predictable… Over the years I’ve read many conservative op-ed writers, and if you want the straight-from-Fox-D-list take, this lady never disappoints.

For the love of all that's holy: Fuck this asshole. Sideways, and with a chain saw.

Clever analogy. I would have gone with "the Sham of show dogs," which would have gotten alliteration points but probably lost 95 percent of readers. (Sham was a great racehorse with the misfortune of being born the same year as Secretariat.)

RFK Jr. always looks like he recently stepped out of a microwave, or the world's most heavy-handed spray-tan parlor. I know he probably believes that the sun has healing properties, but how does he maintain this walnut-hued color while still working for a living?

Kudos to the NYT editors who know the difference between lying in repose (in a non-government building) and lying in state (government building). It won't change the way people misuse the latter term, but hey, I appreciate it.

Gerald Rosen's new memoir of the Detroit bankruptcy reminded me of this terrible column by Virginia Postrel, which should remind us all what ghouls these people are. The issue at hand: Should Detroit's art be sold to pay creditors? Yes, but not because of money. We're too gross to appreciate it.

I can't think of a single self-respecting guitarist who would be caught dead in the same room with this thing, let alone play it.
