Rather than mentioning that Lauren Boebert has never been a prostitute, and that she didn’t have two abortions, Stephen Colbert explores Lauren’s deep and abiding faith in God and Guns.
And here we see why Boss Radio 66 DJ Tom Hanks has been absent from the Playtone Records station wagon. He’s been canoodling with Colbert!
In celebration — if that’s the right word — of the 50th anniversary of the Watergate break-in, the Washington Post features eight cartoons, including this Time magazine cover by Jack Davis.
An iconic Davis magazine cover — rendered for Time in April 1973 beneath the headline “Watergate Breaks Wide Open,” and now in the Portrait Gallery’s exhibit — imagines a circle of conspirators ensnared in its tools of taping and surveillance, each finger-pointing at someone else. The art nods to an 1871 cartoon by Thomas Nast, who was skewering the fiscal chicanery of William “Boss” Tweed’s corrupt Tammany Hall political machine.

Another nicely restored classic cartoon from Cartoon Research, featuring some of Jim Tyer’s wild animation. You’ll have to forgive the “Mammy” stereotype.
A good post is worth repeating. This one, with some added editing, is from over eight years ago.
Some hard truths about the NRA, and how school shootings are the price we must pay for a twisted definition of freedom.
Pat McCrory, former Republican Governor of North Carolina, pays lip service to the gun problem. His view is the left is as bad as the right, and he feels stronger law enforcement is needed.
Note: Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert is heard at about 14:30 into the program, sounding very much like Sarah Palin. She implies that school shootings are necessary “dings in the frame.” There are some wild allegations being made about Boebert. The sometimes reliable Daily Beast has these comments:
Plug in and put on your headphones, click or tap “Playlist,” scroll down to The Guitar Ramblers and get started surfin’ and crusin’!
Even lossy compressed audio can’t obscure the seductive sound of Bob’s Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 phono cartridge. I’ll never get Jimi Hendrix’s knock against Surf music in “Third Stone From the Sun.”
