Just lie about it.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

Here we go again.

Of leopards and faces.

An indefensible choice.

First there was the Department of Redundancy Department. Now for something completely different.

Definitely not advice from the pope

How that awful man won again.

Let’s take a moment to recognize our grief, and what it means.

Like Guy Fawkes, I got burnt!

Here we go again.

The consequences of the post-Roe world.

For want of an apostrophe . . .

And the real destruction of mail-in ballots

Making mountains of molehills.

Our long national nightmare is not over.

Ignorance and motivated reasoning are never a good combination

A modest disturbance in the force.
