It is terrifying and disgusting--equal parts. I can't even imagine what it was like for these decorated, accomplished, highly-skilled individuals to have to sit through such an offensive performance by a cartoon human. I watched a short interview AOC gave where she reminded us that 1. they are weaker then they want us to believe and 2. we must not capitulate in advance, must not allow ourselves to believe that the game is already lost. I'm taking these points AND my sense of humor ONWARD. Thanks Glenn. Please keep sharing your incredible photographs--it is incredibly uplifting to see humanity in the ordinary, everyday through your lens.
The military could use someone like Billy Gibbons. Has Hegseth never heard Tres Hombres?!
Also: if my TL is anything to go by, the people of Portland are making it through the best they can. Many are using things like “going on bike rides” and “having picnics in Washington Park” as a way to cope.
If Tres Hombres was mistaken for a cologne and/or drink, then yes. Probably. I can't imagine how the people of Portlandia are making it through their ordeal! But I imagine it involves knitting circles, craft beer, and composting. Stay strong AND weird, Portland!!!
“Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!”
Do you think Pete got that joke when he saw it? Or was he like, why is that funny?
But then again, why am I even asking you? Women in Pete’s world are not allowed to watch Animal House. He, on the other hand, has the full DVD library of Girls Gone Wild.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised to find he was one of the early investors in that franchise. I think Bluto would have instilled more confidence than this douche canoe. He is a Gordon Gekko wannabe. I bet he still uses Drakkar Noir.
Truth talk: Douche canoe came to me by way of one of your fellow 'Sconis; a friend of mine from Mill-ee-wauk-ay. But please, Johnny Appleseed that 'ism my friend! I knew many a middle-school fella rocking the Noir. Respect.
Thanks Meg! I wish it were allllllll fiction. I'm not above saying that when a bunch of these gargoyles are out on their asses I am going to break out allll the top shelf items! By that I mean cheesecake for breakfast BECAUSE I AM NOT 23 ANYMORE. And yeah that ad: I kept going "This is real? Is this real? This is real. Wait, is it The Onion? SNL ad parody?" Sigh and barf. :)
Sec. PDawg likes to think he's some kind of Rambo, but in reality he's another pathetic windbag in an expensive suit. I believe the people who had to listen to him Tuesday saw through it then just as they did when his role was announced. Absolutely: forward, onward, stick together and stand firm in your beliefs and values and, as you know I believe, KEEP LAUGHING. Sending good energy your way.
I'm beginning to think that "... pathetic windbag in an expensive suit" is kind of redundant (that applies to both sides of the aisle and throughout the corporate world) but I get what you're saying. Yes, humor will help. Good energy right back at you.
CNN's newest exit poll: How many generals silently farted throughout this f'ing charade?
Love this. Sadly, the clown show is real. Ripe for satire — and humor is a must these days — but scary as hell.

Well, there goes my dream of General Gimli. Rude.

My people are resilient.

You just made my week with that put down. Douche canoe is coming America!!!!
Drakkar was my jam in middle school. But something tells me you’re not surprised by that.

This was fire, Sheila!
And I swear on the beard of Gimli, son of Gloin, that Blowhard Ram ad makes me want to throw up in my GrapeNuts every time I see it. 🤬🤬🤬

"There’s so much about women we just don’t know!" He's got that right! He will be surprised.
Fortunately they will never realize that WE PLANNED IT THAT WAY! :)
Love the satire, Sheila.
Hegseth is one tough 'Merican fascist ...
The only question I have is this: Can we hang in there for another three years?
Answer: yes. One. Day. At. A. Time. ("breathe in ... breathe out ... repeat...")

Yeah. A lot of douche canoes all over the damn place. The tide will turn. It always does. Everyone grab an oar :)
Agreed.
BTW: "The Douche Canoes." Is that a GREAT name for a garage band, or what??
I would buy their album. YES!!
“Sorry, General Grant, you’re gonna’ have to lose the beard.”
