A restaurant called “Don’t fill up on that” where all we serve are the free bread courses from other restaurants. Cheddar Bay biscuits, chips and salsa, brown bread from Outback, breadsticks from the Olive Garden, and the servers are always all “now don’t fill up on this” and we all laugh and laugh

I know this only affects a tiny number of people, but those people offered to serve their country. They did so with honor, respect, and integrity. Then this drunk dirtbag kicks them out? Why? Because he knew they'd kick his ass if he ever assaulted them the way he did his wife?

Yes, this is a useful, informative piece. But also, there’s like a dozen pieces of jaw dropping prose in it that I want to print out and frame.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

“Deus ex machina,” God laughs from the stage left wing, “Deus ex machina?? You’ve mocked the ropes, dismantled the pullies, and deported the actor. You’re on your own.”

Forever reject the trope that Dems lost because we were too “woke.” Trumpers voted for an incompetent, treasonous con man because THEY were too hateful.

Not for nothing, Bill Burr might have been the best thing about the new Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway? The whole cast was a treat, but Burr really brought the heat.
