THE NADIR

By Richard Day on Wed, 05/16/2018 - 8:35pm |

I have reached the nadir.

How much more can I fall?

And yet, according to Wiki, even the nadir is relative at best.

We have a potus who lies.

He lies about his height.

He lies about his weight.

He lies about his net assets.

He lies about his previous statements.

He lies about his current statements.

DAVID FRUM & REDEMPTION

By Richard Day on Wed, 05/02/2018 - 10:49pm |

I used to hate David Frum.

I took over five or seven hours listening to him lately; as he admonishes the idiots who voted for Trump.

Every historical analysis involves context.

I never knew David Frum.

I never met with Mr. Frum.

SO WHY DID I HATE HIM SO?

WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT'S DINNER LIVE!

By Richard Day on Sat, 04/28/2018 - 6:42pm |

In just a few hours we shall be entertained, once again with the White House Correspondence Dinner.

Once every year, the PRESS (as it is wont to be called) coagulates at some strange meeting place and makes fun of the POTUS.

This is kind of like a combination of All Hallow's Eve and April Fool's Day.

However, and it is a big however, the current POTUS is going to skip the festivities.

I think that his absence has something to do with this event as it occurred in 2011.

HANNITY'S INANITY?

By Richard Day on Mon, 04/16/2018 - 9:56pm |

This Hannity thingy just got to me!

This Cohen guy just got caught with his hands on ....his balls or his client's balls?

http://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/16/michael-cohen-client-list-526288

And, of course Hannity suddenly cares about lawyer/client crapola.

ERICK ERICKSON HITS GOLD?

By Richard Day on Thu, 04/12/2018 - 2:00pm |

I do not like Erick Erickson

TYT decided to discuss this interview by Erick with some anonymous Repub Congressman.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

I do not like Erick.

I most certainly do not like green ham (like Arpaio)

SAVING STORMY LIVE!

By Richard Day on Sun, 03/25/2018 - 7:25pm |

Okay, so CBS 60 Minutes will present the storm of the year review.

Trump's old pay for sex partner shall appear.

Just waiting for the end of the NCAA Basketball thingy to end; it is now in overtime.

No. 1 Kansas v. No. 2 Duke.

I do not care even if I should.

Speaking of overtime.

This dalliance, as you might recall occurred just shortly following the birth of Donald's last kid (we think?) whom we never get to see.

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
