So I wrote this book. Somewhere between banging out blog posts, refreshing FiveThirtyEight like a lab monkey jonesing for cocaine pellets, and trying on endless pairs of Trump-stompin’ boots at Payless, I managed to finish a whole book. And it’s now available, just in time for you to pop some...

How are we all feeling? Judging from my own feelings and observations, “cautiously optimistic” seems to be the prevailing mood this morning. Correct me if I’m wrong. That said, you could cut the tension with Donald Trump’s future prison shiv.  But who gives a fuck about that guy? This guy...

I’d prefer a raven landing on Trump’s head and peeling away his face rind to reveal a horde of diseased death locusts, but this will have to do for now. A Lamers bus serving as a shuttle for Pres. Trump's visit has entered the ditch near the airport in Green Bay,...

When this is all over — hopefully very soon — the number of lives Trump managed to destroy will be truly mind-boggling. But while I have nothing but sympathy for most of Trump’s victims, the fate of those who willingly threw their lot in with the Abominable Showman makes me decidedly...
