James Carville is the Eeyore of yore! The man could use some prescription-strength STFU for his guest-essaying case of doom-and-gloom!

"AUTOBIOPIC" may be the better term, but not arrogant in any case. BTW, hello!

Go Eagles!!...Which is to say, "Good on the Philadelphia Eagles for declining the White House visit!"

Well, in that case (or six-pack), far be it from me to RE-PETE an intoxicated SLUR that infuriates US Secretary of Defense Hegseth!

So Ear Tag #90, my steer friend, tells me today that unlike me, he's NOT a vegetarian -- that he's actually an "herbivore." But he says it in a way that makes me think that he thinks he’s better than me! And get this – he looks down his nose at me as he talks!!

I bet the number of screenplays where house cats are uncredited as writers must be absolutely staggering!

PRINCESS BRIDE's "Vizzini": Inconceivable! You keep saying I'm the "frontrunner." But I do not think it means what you think it means.

Even more unfortunately, he does not live in that space alone!

BEING THERE, @franklinleonard.bsky.social, is the 1979 documentary that is present-day US (pronoun or country -- take your pick)! Trump doesn't need to pull out a gardening trowel to convince me that BEING THERE is the prequel to today's BEING HERE!

I got another quote for you, @mcsweeneys.net... "YOU HAVE BEWITCHED ME, BODY AND SOUL, AND I LOVE, I LOVE, I LOVE YOU. I NEVER WISH TO BE PARTED FROM YOU FROM WHATEVER DAY THIS IS ON."

My terrifying concern is that much less than educate the parties that you named, @fredguttenberg.bsky.social, the Auschwitz Memorial post confirms for them that they are on the "right" path, in every sense of the word, "right."

The title "Gulf of America" is correct, @theatlantic.com! BUT it belongs over the land mass in the map that Trump is watching and NOT over the body of water!

THE McCarthyism that America desperately needs right now! You're SO right, @georgehahn.com. Thanks in advance for your service, Melissa McCarthy!!

Michelangelo said something along the same line: "The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material."

Somehow, @jack-e-smith.bsky.social, I really don't think Musk's son would be asking! In capitalized words that Trump would understand, the kid would more likely finish with, "...GET ME AN ICE CREAM!!!!"

Boggles the mind that VIEWS-EXPRESSED DISCLAIMERS should ever apply to anti-racism, -pedophilia, -human trafficking messages. Disclaiming opposition to popcorn-flavored Jelly Belly beans is one thing. But to incest, rape, murder? "To each his/her own" should exclude certain issues! IMO.

Dammit, Ear-tag #90 (black steer) wasn't protesting my selfie! That was his impression of "Nora Desmond" from Wilder's SUNSET BOULEVARD! Boy, do I feel stupid now!

The Philadelphia Eagles snatched the nickname "AMERICA's TEAM" from the Dallas Cowboys to proudly wear that title!!

Three good things @kathleenmadigan.bsky.social's "The Day Drinking Tour" (which I saw at Durham, NC's The Carolina Theater tonight) offers: (1) a drive home without risking DUI charges; (2) no worries about a hangover in the morning; but best of all (3) lots of much-needed laughs!

Sad to say that there won't be anything "civil" about the war -- EXCEPT as, maybe, fought by the Dems. You yourself, Nell, posted not long ago that the Dems brought a banana to a knife fight. My fear is the Dems don't understand that, in a war, bananas won't cut it!

If only @jimgaffigan.bsky.social saying it made it so! It was wonderful, for about an hour, when I saw Mr Gaffigan perform his standup comedy tonight. Thanks, Mr Gaffigan, for the welcome distraction!

Hate to break it to you @evaholland.bsky.social but @nytimes.com Spelling Bee Editor Sam Ezersky was backup nominee to RFK Jr for HHS Secretary! Don't expect him to learn one biology term anytime soon!

Confirm, @nbcnews.com, if the @nflbluesky.bsky.social plans to segregate the teams for this year's Super Bowl?... ...not Chiefs versus Eagles, but segregate racially/ethnically?

I agree @edzitron.com! But the Belichek smile (a veritable "unicorn") and what looks like brass knuckles on his right hand are more concerning than the maitre d costume.

I booked Poppy/Ms Goodbench months in advance to tune up my seat for Super Bowl LIX. She does a great job, but she doesn't come cheap!!

So how old is this expression? Does it predate what's-his-name time in the White House?
