#494 - State of Delusion
Mar 05, 2025
A very long SOTU
Al Green meets Buju Banton, Tripadvisor objects
The most beautiful, terrifying word in the English language
The “deficit” you shouldn’t care about
The forgotten Foxconn boondoggle
The hopeless Democrats
Maybe look at, say, Dean Phillips and ignore the Squad
Asian finger cuffs
Two cheers for parliamentary democracy
Poor lil’ Marco
Who killed Gene Hackman’s dog?
