I made a photocopy of a print of the Mona Lisa, and it only took me five seconds. Da Vinci was a hack.

Kinda bummed that the first time I'm sending poop through the mail is for colon cancer screening, not revenge.

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there.

If the premise is that a president can only safety attend galas in a bunker ballroom, wouldn't the simpler solution be to just NOT attend galas? Some would argue fancy parties AREN'T the purpose of the job.

The 'No Kings' rallies are a convenient reminder not to make a big deal of my birthday. You know, like a king would do.

There's a long, bad journalistic tradition: All conservative grass-roots political movements are fascinating heartland phenomena, all progressive grass-roots political movements are ineffectual bleating. This one is written off as powered by white female college grads--the wine-moms slur, basically.

The bar was full, so we ended up watching at a cafe... and honestly, probably for the best. I'd rather be disappointed full of morning coffee than morning beer. Still, one hell of a game!
