Hilarious & sad. I love the lead photo, of Il Douche with the Hamburgler at the second inauguration.

If you're like me and can't stand his stupid face or his stupid voice coming from his stupid mouth, here is the transcript. Read it and weep, sometimes with derisive laughter, but mostly at the fact that this idiot is the President of the USA. We're sorry, world.

I've always been against these, but Ian Bremmer really lays out the dangers in stark, clearly understandable language.

In case you haven't seen it yet, John Oliver & Co. just looked at the takedown of USAID and the effects it's had. As usual, funny yet heartbreaking/infuriating. Brought back a lot of (bad) memories.

Great breakdown of a great halftime show, which was viewed by an estimated 135 million people. Kid Rock & His Merry Band of Racists attracted *snigger* 6 million.

Funny that they couldn't get the photo right. It should include Dave, not Barry, of course...
"Happy" #J6, everyone. Here's a link you can share with anyone who's somehow forgotten what actually happened that day or has been fooled by the lies, shown in videos taken by the participants themselves.

Let's be clear about who is behind most political violence (and hate speech, for that matter). In case you're wondering about the source that TIME magazine used to create this graphic, the CATO Institute is a libertarian group co-founded by one of the Koch brothers.

Cracked helmet from bicycle ride
Hey, folks! If you ride a bicycle, wear a helmet. These photos are from a low-speed crash that was my own stoopid fault (my attention wandered, and my front wheel got caught in a groove or pothole). Still cracked a rib, but this helmet saved my life. Your helmet could save yours.
