This week's SNL was very weak. Even Spicey was just more of the same and not very inventive. The only really funny thing in the whole show was in The People's Court sketch where the judge (Cecily Strong) said to Trump in desperate exacerbation, "You're doing too much. OK?! I want just ONE DAY...

I was once parked broadside to the wind at the J in Kingman, AZ and began to wonder if the wind was going to tip me and the Sprinter over. Then I realized that no, that's just silly. A few moments later I sat there and watched the wind rip a trailer from its 5th wheel and blow it over as the...

Refugees that have entered the US since the restraining order was put in place to stop the Executive Order: Iran (84) Iraq (151) Somalia (68) Sudan (24) Syria (248)

I can almost give them a pass because they're a Dominican newspaper. Almost. But that's a pretty amateurish mistake to make. One of my favorite fake news narratives is one that CNN just can't seem to let go of. The one where fake news cost Hillary the election. In order for that to have...

I didn't know Tony all that well. We were in Marching, Symphonic and Jazz bands together, which is a common denominator and and equalizer, but he was 3 years ahead of me in school, so we really didn't hang out in the same social circles outside of the music department. But what was most...

I was a fan of Tony Snow. Not because we were in band together in high school, or because his dad was one of my teachers, but because Tony had journalism in his blood and he was good at it. He was the editor of the school paper, and went on to have a classic career as a print journalist, editor...

It's nearly impossible to be both the White House press secretary and the Communications Director. I have no idea which job Spicer would prefer, but he's spent most of his career in the relative behind-the-scenes public affairs and communications director roles in the Navy and the RNC. The Press...

Ever tried to lubricate wheel bearings with solar?

And now for your moment of musical interlude zen.... Trump's theme song....

The television ratings backs that up. Spicer’s White House briefings have been getting 4.3 million viewers on average, which is higher than real, actual soap operas like The Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital, which air in the same 1-2 PM time slot. Cable news viewership as a whole...

The Press really doesn't like how Sean Spicer is handling the Press Room. I often listen to Julie Mason on POTUS on SiriusXM, her Press Pool show, where she talks mostly with the White House press pool journalists. Julie herself is a former longtime White House press reporter with the Houston...

In the northern Rockies of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, as the saying goes, they have two seasons: Winter, and the Fourth of July. Last year in the middle of July they had a foot of snow dumped at elevations above 7000 feet, and that wasn't even unusual. The road out of Montana to the northern...

Most states tend to not be a dick about it, but each state has tint laws that apply to all vehicles operating on the public roads of that state. It doesn't matter where the vehicle is registered, since you have to abide by the motor vehicle laws of the state in which you are driving. If you go...

FWIW, I don't know anything about this other than what is contained within this thread. Also, I do not have a CDL. I used to, but dropped the HAZMAT endorsement, and thus surrendered the Class C CDL, after realizing that I had only had 4 placarded loads within the previous 5 years. I'm also...

It's a legitimate concern, I think, because a leopard doesn't change its spots. But it's also a prejudice. Just because someone worked on Wall Street, and did a good job in that position, doesn't mean they won't faithfully execute their oath of office and perform accordingly in their new...

Lots and lots of ICE raids on illegal aliens this past week. Part of it was routine, as they do several of those every year, but part of it was also a result of Trump removing the handcuffs from ICE so they can do their jobs. ICE went after illegals with criminal records, but any other illegals...

They are far too political, more so the liberal judges who think it's their responsibility to broaden the scope of written legislation in order to "improve" it. That's not their job, that's the job of legislators. The 9th Circuit's written ruling is laughable. And it's why they are overruled...

The SC generally doesn't like to hear cases that aren't yet fully adjudicated, so I'd be surprised if they agreed to hear this. The District Judge issued a temporary restraining order to block the executive order, until after the Washington State case has been fully litigated. In order to obtain...

Also, the DOJ attorney who argued the case could probably get his money back for his law degree. He was only marginally more prepared than I would have been.

I would agree with that, primarily based on the fact that 68% of the judges on the 9th Court are Democrats, and the fact that the 9th Circuit is not merely the most overturned Circuit Court in the country, they are overturned an astounding 80% of the time.
