You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not with out your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Love to live in a lost Suetonius anecdote: "Meanwhile, as Josephius submitted to a third suite of enemas to relieve the paralysis that had plagued him since Dacia, and did not emerge from his villa for fear of the sun's rays, a legionnaire known as 'Grand Vagina' began a march..."

An actually likely conclusion, based in the massive decline in viewership for that debate, is that none of this matters and zombie Biden wins a low-turnout, low-enthusiasm election with just a slightly different EC outcome than last time around.

The uneven distribution of political representation in America, leaving aside all the many other spoofs and goofs of our silly system, is really one of those marvels of human belief, like hereditary rule or, I dunno, chiropractic, that truly baffle the mind.

Since we're talking about Star Wars: at its heart, Star Wars is about, in rank order: airplanes, being friends with A Creature, magic, martial arts, and the alienation of parental affection, which is all to say, give the franchise to Miyazaki and we might finally get a good one.

The Court used to issue rulings that told Congress "you dummies fucked up so you're going to have to fix the law that you wrote" but now that the Court writes all the laws they're reduced to sending their own laws back to themselves to say "you dummies fucked up so you're going to have to fix it."
