Late night gets weird:





And, who knew?

What do you want to bet they dust off Michelle & Hillary at the last minute?

Wacco political humor has reached a new nexus, idk who is funnier anymore. It used to be that I could choose my laugh by the poster. Now it doesn't seem to make a difference. I choose to see this as a good thing. Humor unites us in cynical observation of current political hypocrisy. Some could view this negatively, but I choose humor as good. Perhaps in times of crisis the ability to laugh at the stupidity of our kind is a survival strategy?

I agree with you that Ray's selections have gotten better (partly thanks to my editing ) but it also sounds like your politics have shifted towards the right, Ross.

Ha ha, I was going to write you about your censorship (editing). Good to see you're (admitting) taking credit for it.

The thread might be even better (funnier) if you would also edit out some of the more blatantly viscous anti Trump stuff. Some of it's not funny, just childish and nasty.

However I agree that, in the end, if you're going to give it, you've got to be able to take it. Cynical satire, that is.

"Viscous (sic), childish, nasty, not funny" eh? Consider the subject...

As a longtime anarchist my politics shift to what I believe will reduce the burden of the violent monopoly of collective will. Could be right, could be left. We live in interesting times. Heard today from someone connected to the big d Anderson. We will be quarantined Italian style, ie singing out our windows for real social contact with cops on the street checking papers. Government wants us to be virtual, like this. Personally I'm looking to get infected sooner rather than later. None of the people closest to me agree, as usual. But how will I take care of them if I survive? The who Dr video was very informative. We have already given up on contact tracing and all us citizens and residents will be exposed to the virus by mid June. Capitalist democracy has consistently proven to be more dynamic than capitalistic communism. Freedom will prevail in these dark times.

Not exactly political humor, but...

Turns out the prior video is fake. It's a doctored version of a 2015 video that is not quite as funny... But I'll leave it up just for the comic, if not gastric, relief

I find this interesting- because SoCo did *NOT* see a real reduction in gas prices...arguably none. Part of this is surely because CA requires their own formulation- and despite crude oil halving, decreased demand in CA counter-acted the decline. Though- from Fairfield up to Redding I've seen 10-40 cent decreases recently...

I do find it interesting though that after Trump promoting Americas energy independence- largely due to fracking... that they are now buying 30 million gallons for the strategic reserve to prop up prices...
