Congrats to Jason Sudeikis on his Golden Globe win!
Have a great day!
The Norse rune platform wasn’t very subtle, was it? It’s a strange kind of runway/speaking platform anyway, but you can almost see it, the speaker enters from top left and exits top right, I guess, but what do you do to access the podium? It’s in the middle of that weird red diamond and not along one of the “paths”, so from a spatial perspective…
Then to complete the Norse rune you have those useless wings jutting out perpendicular to the entrance/exit paths. I didn’t watch a minute of this, so I don’t know: were they used at all? There are no doors and stairs so not particularly utilitarian.
If anyone had any sense of spectacle that would be where you place the singers, women on one side, men on the other. They would lead the crowd in solemn but yet somehow rousing renditions of “The Horst Wesel Lied,” “God Bless the USA,” “Let the Eagle Soar,” whatever, and provide the entr’acte between speakers.
How long did CPAC last? Three days? Four? By the final night the crowd would be so disoriented and somewhat psychotically dissociative by the steady diet of hamberders, covfefe, and Mountain Dew that it would be time for the big finale. The stage goes dark. The speakers blast “The Ride of Valkyries.” From both entrances members of the Proud Boys, resplendent in their Hitlerjügend haircuts and popped collar polo shirts and camo cargo shorts, enter bearing lit torches and fan out on both sides. A lone spotlight appears over the podium. It is time. The President approaches the podium and begins his speech which details a glorious reawakened America purged of Anti-Fa filth, an America that will finally achieve its divine destiny as one people, one country, one leader!
I can’t wait to see what the Google ad algorithm will make of this post once it scours it to discern items I might like to purchase.
It’s just little less subtle than Laura’s, er, salute.
Please tell me it pops this up:
And once again, the Left needs to point out that Israel and “the Jewish community” aren’t the same thing.
Good for Ted Lasso/Jason Sudeikis. I rarely laugh out loud, but this show was a constant giggle interspersed with sweet, trite, true homilies. Here’s another clip, just for fun:
So, Meg, I often now think of the Lewis Black bit about time moving faster when we get older. When I was in my 20’s and heard about time moving faster, I thought how stupid that was. But, looks like the joke was on me (us) because holy shit I feel like I’m in that scene in Ice Pirates.
I think I am with Thom on this one…

Is it just me, or does that gold trump statue look like a total ripoff of the Mooby’s calf from Jay and Silent Bob?
YES! Thank you, I thought that but couldn’t remember what it was called. Mooby’s!
Time for Ben & Matt to make an appearance and start slaughtering people
