So, I guess if I was in Baton Rouge and drove straight north, I'd end up in … the Twilight Zone?

Ronnie is spinning so fast you could hook him up to a generator and power half the country. Zombie Nixon is trying to get out of his coffin.

Are you referring to Roger Wicker or Tuck Choad, who invited a full-fledged moron to his show to be interviewed by someone who wasn't even up to THAT task???.

N...P...R...

So sad. These people either believe in their journalistic integrity, which makes them delusional and grandiose, or they know goddamn well they are throwing up apologist smokescreen horseshit, which makes them even worse.

Thanksgiving. Yes, it's here. Time for those age-old traditions, like the Sarah Palin Death Turkey Interview.

I'm thinking it's both.

You mean they haven't yet? I supposed they had and I just missed it among all the other madness.

Regardless of any dirt the Russians have (it's bound to be a LOT), a big part of the GOP's lamprey-like adherence to Trump is that it nominated him as its candidate, has stuck with him as his madness, cruelty and corruption reached Caligulan levels, and now it's unable to dump him; it either goes down in disgrace with him, unless Russia does successfully fuck the 2020 election, or it goes down in disgrace without him, but its traitorous ethical bankruptcy will still stink from now till Judgement Day, if it ever arrives.

May Nemesis hound these contemptible curs to madness and death, and may they be embalmed in cobra venom and skunk secretion.

I like history, and sound civic infrastructure like car parks. Actually it's a nod to The Daughter of Time by Josephne Tey - which was one of my mom's favorite book. Until her dying day she was a stauch Richardian (as they are called) and refered to Henry Tudor as coming from 'the bastard side of the bed". Shakespeare's play is a hatchet job on Richard but it is a magnficent hatchet job - "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York"

So poetic license was used.

I'll allow it.

!!! LOVE that book. started an obsessive teenage quest to read all the English history - up to the tudors. then i got bored and stopped reading about English history

which is ironic b/c i've spent my adult life in Shakespeare and have been lucky enough to play margaret in all her glorious incarnations including RIII.

O Tiger's heart in a woman's hide! That must have been wonderful. Always held a wish to do Richard once. Still i am entralled by that moment in Henry VI Part III where you see Shakespare find his voice and his first great charcter speaks "I can add colours to the chameleon,Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,And set the murderous Machiavel to school.Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?Tut, were it farther off, I'll pluck it down"

Well it does get rather boring after the Tudors, well not boring but less palace intrigue and more Parliament vs the Throne witch is a different dynamic to be sure.

richard is DELICIOUS - and so refreshingly uncomplicated in his evil. none of this tiresome wrestling with demons like maccers or lear.

my favorite was the molehill speech. i still do it for auditions.

well I would ague that his evil stems from his volcanic self loathing "Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my timeInto this breathing world, scarce half made up,And that so lamely and unfashionableThat dogs bark at me as I halt by them;"

This fury he directs outwards at the world...True he doesn't wrestle with his demons he climbs on their back and rides them to hell.
