Did they perhaps offer some trenchantly piquant death threats that they have received? And what the heck happened to that whole argument that polls are skewed because far right loons are so terrified of liberals and all their violent talk and what not?This is not a tapestry of lies, it is piecework, with no piece relating to the next one.

This episode is a big deal. (As a bemused old man I am always having to pause and figure out the modern acronyms, or check them out on google.) But you can only be disappointed in someone if you expected anything smart or principled from him to begin with.I am reasonably sure you did not.

And -- Thou hast committed attempted rape, but it was long ago and in this country, and the wench is not dead yet, but oh wouldn't it have been sweetly convenient if she had died thirty years back?

It's in his novel, "Songs From the Stars". Published 1980. When circuit judge and spiritual master Clear Blue Lou discovers that a leftover space corporation from the past has been processing rocket fuel for decades to launch a spaceship and reach an ancient space station, in defiance of the highly conservationist rules, and causing pollution the already ecologically damaged planet can't afford, he thunders in judgement, "I find Space Systems Incorporated guilty of monstrous shit-headedness above and beyond the call!"

Feline anuses everywhere are Very Dissappointed in Tucker’s mouth hole, which while ostensibly very similar, have far less gross things come out.

I am not sure which direction to go with this (poor Tucker, here's why they didn't report, or Yeah, I like those procedural shows where justice wins and that is why) so I'll just leave this here https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

That sent me off on an unexpected path. Apparently there is a script that is difficult or impossible to get a copy of because CBS is being a dick about it, and has been since 1962... I gotta get back to the real world (got to get cat food) but thanks for the little retreat from reality for a while. ps - I never did figure out what Spinrad quote you are sort of quoting...

To sort of quote Norman Spinrad, "I hereby find [Tucker Carlson] guilty of monstrous shit-headedness above and beyond the call!"And naturally, of being an awful, awful man.
