I thought that I may have been one of them, because I went from being from being in Donald McEachen’s district to being in Elaine Luria’s district according to my absentee ballot, but my mother personally contacted Congressman McEachen’s office (at least, through his Facebook page) and he assured us that our city has been redistricted and we’re now in Luria’s district, and encouraged us to vote for her.

I was called a pervert by Sarah Silverman yesterday. She was doing a commercial for, I think, Uber Eats, and she mentioned having to model her toes for money. She looks in the camera and says that if you want to see her toes to go to something like heresmytoes dot net. I was already sitting at my laptop and figured What The Hell, something weird is probably going to happen, so I typed it in. At the site she appears on the same set as in the commercial and she says “Oh my god, you actually typed that in? You pervert.” Then she offers like a promo code for Uber Eats or something.

So we have Fucker Carlson and his son Fuckley? The jokes just write themselves!

(Side note, “Fuckley” reminds me of an old college roommate who was pissed at William F Buckley for writing a scathing column about John Lennon after he was assassinated. Roommate always referred to him afterwards as “William Fucked In The Buckley”.)

That’s going to be a mighty-crowded examination room.

Fetterman’s team was quick off the dime, getting Oz’s brilliant idea into an ad right away.

The debate has been discussed in legacy media almost exclusively in terms of ‘is Fetterman up to the job???’ Every discussion I saw today included participants who mixed up words, left out words, and paused in odd places…but of course that’s perfectly normal! Not a valid basis for criticism…unless you’re a Democratic candidate, of course.

As has been noted, members of the Senate have had strokes and still have done their jobs:

Have they noticed that guy running in Georgia for the Senate who _hasn’t_ had a stroke and has a hard time stringing together a coherent sentence?

Probably. But they don’t care.

Weapons that can be used against Democrats become garlands of flowers to be draped 'round the necks of pro-fascism candidates, don’t you know?

I believe the owners of Sketchers are Jewish, so that was a poor choice on his part.
