Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

BREAKING: The biggest 3 insulin manufacturers have all agreed to cut prices in MN to just $35 after my office sued them. This is tremendous news.

Something I think about his how thoroughly George W Bush has disappeared from the American consciousness and history. He didn’t quite have a Trump-level of cultish devotion on the right, but pretty close! He was a Great Man of History.

as the kind of extra-ass bitch whose contribution to Thanksgiving dinner is often personalized place cards with hand-selected quotes, may I offer on this Thanksgiving Eve a few options for anyone wishing for a little pre-dinner reflection that isn’t cheesy, vapid, or off-puttingly Jesus-y
