I couldn't make this shit up if i tried.

The Revenge of the Republican Elites is upon us. Conway, Will, Mattis... If this trend or movement or whatever it is continues, it will have far more impact on the outcome of the election at both the presidential and senatorial levels than something like, say, Biden's choice for VP. Man, I hope you...

Always loved his stuff. You are right, a tough few weeks.

That's what she said!

So late June show in Chicago area has been officially cancelled/rescheduled to June 2021. So now the hope is the September show at the Vic happens, but I ain't holding my breath.

So desperate for any sports activities that I'll probably watch the entire draft tonight and tomorrow. I'm hoping my Lions can trade down from number 3 to a team that wants a QB. That way, they will get an extra pick or two to screw up later in the draft.

I would think that venues such...

I was selfishly hoping for the same in late June in Evanston, but that ain't gonna happen.

Yep, fingers crossed.

That Moline show looks like a pretty cool venue, we should be able to make that one. I am intrigued by the 2020 tour schedule. By the end of July, 6 months after the release of the new record, they will have played lots of cities and venues that are not part of a "typical" tour schedule but not play...

Another date has popped up on the show page: Breckenridge CO Saturday July 11. I’ve got to imagine a summer/fall tour announcement coming soon? I saw that and was wondering the same thing. As of now, here are the announced June/July shows: Chicago (Evanston) June 26 Breckenridge July 11 Bayfield, W...

I'm starting to think Liz is our only remaining hope. :? Biden has Ukraine. Bernie has "Communist". Warren only has Pocahontas, which after getting one of those stupid 23 and Me things for Christmas, becomes a hell of a lot easier to explain. I think (perhaps naively) that she's progressive enough ...

I'm trying real hard to make it. If I do go, I'm also going to try to squeeze in one or two games of the big ten tournament quarterfinals that will be going on that afternoon, especially if my Michigan guys are playing. Let me know if any of y'all are interested in that.

New show added for July 25 on the shores of Lake Superior in Bayfield, WI. 3DD camp-out? Let's hope this is part of a larger midwest swing.

So sorry to hear this. My deepest sympathies.

The pardons and commutations ("pardons" for convenience here) should not go unnoticed or unremarked on so here's me noticing and remarking. There is a staggering amount of awfulness to deconstruct here. It's like peeling a very, very large onion where each layer just gets stinkier and less appealin...

Is it just me or is this the literal definition of 'Obstruction of Justice'? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/11/trump-roger-stone-sentencing-reaction-criticism Yet another example showing that what has happened to the Department of Justice in the last several years is incredibly distur...

Headlining the "Out of Space" show at Temperance Beer Garden in Evanston on June 26. This is a pretty cool space to see a show -- they do a good job with setting up a stage in the parking lot and there is plenty of good beer to go around. But pretty sure we won't get a full set -- if I recall correc...

While I agree with you, I can feel/see the other side of this coin. We can't let them own the 'Both sides' and 'whataboutism' arguments. This isn't equally normalized behavior. Ripping up a speech isn't the same level of bullshit/immaturity/norms.... Look, it SUCKS. But, we are going to win this fi...

I'm a Democrat/moderate liberal, and I have zero issue with the 2016 election and results. Like Zip, I believe the President committed an impeachable offense and needs to be held accountable for it. You know what? I feel the same way about 1998. Trump and the behavior of the most right wingers over...

The biggest piece of shit in all of this is Mitch. Friday he walks into the senate chambers with a smirk on his face as he orchestrates the implosion of the rule of law. If there is voter fraud, I hope it is the kind that lets me vote against him multiple times in November. I have a long-running de...

Confused...are you voting for the Locus Swarm or Pit of Snakes? Let me try to be clear: We have entered into a new, unprecedented era in American political history, and it may be that we will shortly enter into a new era of American history. The President's position, and by extension the position o...

Favorable review by the Sound Opinions guys, who are long-time fans. Although they did get the background detail as to where Cooley and Hood met wrong.

Well, my team picked a great time to crap the bed. Every single player under performed his predicted point total. The fat lady has sung. Congrats to Sterling Bigmouth.

Now I need over 20 points from Kamara tonight. I have been kicking myself for drafting him over McCaffrey. Hindsight is a MFer. You should have known that having the best team all year and ending up in first place is a certain recipe for disaster come playoff time. According to Yahoo's predictions ...

Playoffs: LBRod (1) vs Sterling Bigmouth (4) Mr B (2) vs Phungi (3) I expected an epic report from Phungi by now to set the tone for the playoffs. I'm worried -- I smoked him twice during the regular season, which means that I'm overdue to get my ass whipped by him this week. But as long as great a...
