In other late breaking news, Steve Bannon has still not taken a shower since January 6, 2021 or changed any of the multiple shirts he wears.

Bannon is Just Asking Questions. Maybe Jimbo is a mail order bride, maybe he isn't. Who can say for sure?

"BANNON: With half of those weasels and snakes and pencil necks ..."

Pencil necks? I didn't know Bannon despised Senator Tom (not really a Ranger) Cotton, but I'm happy to agree with him for once.

Three Shirts is making fun of how someone ELSE dresses?

And that's before I even MENTION the fact that he looks like a stack of moldy mattresses at the dump.

Steve Brannon looks like he’s been sleeping on a bus bench. Or under one. He also looks as if he could use a flea dip. And smells of unwashed hair and 3-day old gin.

And note: all it requires to be taken as an intellectual in GQP circles is a bow-tie.

Also note all the digs at him being "professorial", because the anti-intellectualism of the Repugs is still going strong.

This man is a rich, rich man and this is how he has deliberately chosen to look.

Like, on purpose.

What is wrong with rich men that the literal ass best dressed list of rich businessmen includes Mark Zuckerberg, who is “rich dadcore “, Jeff Bezos, whose vibe is straight up Lex Luther but more evil, and Alexis Ohanian, who has a famous wife with a stylist? All the rest of these nards are like, “I need 50 miles of tie!” Or “I live in a literal dumpster behind a mall chic” or “That is the imprint of my stapler on my cheek because I am HARDCORE!”

He did not get wealthy by dressing like that. He's a fake on many levels

That’s an insult to moldy mattresses everywhere, most of whom have more class and smell better than walking pockmark Bannon.

I see Gym's "Winning hearts and minds" campaign is going about as I expected

We have a fractured open thread due to lack of proper GUIDANCE from the Wonkette c-suite.

In fairness, one of them does say it's the open thread.

But I think when it's not the top post it should be moved to the top so everyone is clear on it.

Until I get clear guidance I will be leaving all my Jim Jordan snark on the ASME tribology page.

I just opened two different tabs to watch it all.

I had a good weird day where I finished the five-day solar photovoltaic training class but after a week of 14 hour days I was so tired, in a phone conversation I did not recognize my own business phone number for a brief while. I almost never hear it spoken to me by others, so new to that part of my brain, but still. It's also this new diuretic, I have to take a smaller dose I think.

Solar what with the what now?

I've heard of water pills... but phone number pills are some pretty strong stuff!

Training for installing, engineering, or selling it?

I was just thinking about how back in the mid-to-late 70's and in the 80's, we often used the expression "It's a slow news day." I don't think we've had a slow news day since 9/11.

July 7, 2005 was pretty slow, as I recall.

Not for me it wasn't. I was moving from Missouri to Louisiana that very week, and Hurricane Dennis was in the Gulf and headed right towards the house I had just bought but not yet moved into.

No, no. I made some good meatballs that day.

Neither of those got mainstream media coverage.

According to Jon Stewart, what the rich guys like is having charge of ALL the jobs. In full employment, working people would have charge of ALL the employees, and employees would control the entire situation, instead of employers. And that's why. That's why full employment is not optimum, in the traditional view. It's nothing to do with an arcane economic number though that's what "job creators" might have told the world.

Any time the little people can tell the guy in charge to F off because they know there is a job waiting for them somewhere else it's a bad time for the overseers.

Isn't it weird? I'd never have thought of that in a thousand years, being a layman. It's something for the jackass Mitt R to know about.

And, how great of Jon STewart to be interested enough to tell it to the world. Sure do miss him. I havent laughed once at the Daily Show. And also I think when he retired, I think he started an animal refuge. Could there be a greater guy? Yet I'm sure he thinks he a regular guy. He is, too, I can see that. Still..

Ok, would you rather look at Steve Bannon for your Open Thread, or at OHJB?

Speaking of Ukraine, you know what started this week? Ukrainian fighter pilots started getting trained up on the F-16s they are getting from Netherlands and Denmark. Once they are trained and operational, it will be a very different game in the skies above Ukraine.
