I don’t get it. I don’t get it at all. Mike Barnicle, I’m looking right at you. Joe Scarborough has already had a dead intern, what’s your excuse? JOE SCARBOROUGH: The party leadership that was too smart to use polls in 2016, that they just had algorithms that they would follow, that they were leaving …

Finite Universes
One thing you learn if you do statistics is that if you slice the data fine enough you wind up with a limited pool that represents… Well, everybody who qualifies for your screener, like White Males who voted for Trump. Why do you think Google and Amazon and Facebook can target market you? 1,700 and …

Class Traitor
In case you don’t get it by now, I’m very White and very privileged. It may seem on these pages that I spend my life apologizing for it but the truth is not so much, I mostly hardly notice and just accept my state of grace. I do sense that from a standpoint of fairness …

Who Needs Mueller?
Welcome to The Breakfast Club! We’re a disorganized group of rebel lefties who hang out and chat if and when we’re not too hungover we’ve been bailed out we’re not too exhausted from last night’s (CENSORED) the caffeine kicks in. Join us every weekday morning at 9am (ET) and weekend morning at 10:00am (ET) (or …

Weird Science
Ok, so you probably know by now that I’m a computer tech and strange stuff pops up in my YouTube feed constantly including Self-Help and Psychiatric videos as well as goofy things (Cartnoon). I blame Anna Akana who in addition to being a very funny actor trying to get visible in Southern California has a …

Boof
I’m kind of ticked off that very few people are reporting the reality of ‘boofing’ and accepting Kavanaugh’s lie that it has something to do with farts. Well, something I guess. Urban Dictionary The act of smirkingly perjuring oneself before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee. Ok, both descriptive and hip but since it’s a …

I Like Beer
Hair Curling Tales from the Front Line So, I was incoming capo di tutti and my club is not composed of teetotallers. Kind of the opposite, a convincing part of my campaign was hanging out in the smoking lounge with the kool kidz. Not the coolest ones mind you, they smoked reefer and while I …

Dysthymia
As always, I’m with Sam- It’s not depression really. No suicidal ideation for one thing. Well, even though prospects are grim there’s no excuse for being lazy. Time to lace up those Doc Martens (even hipper on guys) and get to kicking ass. What was different is that apparently, it worked. For now.

Fear of Flying
I don’t have any fear of flying. What I hate about it is that it’s vastly inconvenient, like riding a bus with 20 times the wait for 20 times the money. Unless you absolutely need to be there that quick (counting wait time mind you) or the oceans are too vast there are always better …

Kavanaugh Day
Of course I’m watching the hearing/debacle. Early indications are good. Ford is universally described as credible and Kavanaugh seems to be melting down, but I hate him, I hate Trump, and I hate Republicans (don’t like Democrats much either, not because they are too “political”, because they are insufficiently political). The only thing I care …
