Below Deck Season 3, Episode 10: Too Much Fireball Is Never A Good Look

November 16, 2016 by Ali Davis Leave a Comment

[Editor’s note: This recap should have run last week, but we were busy rending our garments and asking our European relatives if we can come live there now maybe.

A Response to Garrison Keillor’s Delightful Opinion Piece

November 11, 2016 by Ali Davis 1 Comment

Dear Mr. Keillor, I read your piece in the Washington Post. It’s meant to comfort us, to let us know that calm life will go on, and we liberals can relax while the Republican elites and the Trumplings fight it out and get disillusioned. You say we liberals can relax and grow heirloom tomatoes while…

November 8, 2016 by Ali Davis Leave a Comment

1. Sarah Palin We need to make it clear that we don’t want Trump’s big, stupid face on our televisions anymore.

Don’t Woodstock Yourself with This Election

November 7, 2016 by Ali Davis 1 Comment

Somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 people attended the original Woodstock Music & Art Fair in 1969. By the mid-1980s, the number of Baby Boomers claiming to have been there was 73.4 bazillion. That’s because Woodstock, in part thanks to the astonishing music lineup and in part thanks to the documentary released the next year, began…

Third Presidential Debate 2016: Fun Hillary Meets a Malfunctioning Chucky Doll

October 20, 2016 by Ali Davis Leave a Comment

Well, after the first presidential debate was far more shocking and bizarre that any of us were prepared for and the second debate was like that video where they blow up a whale carcass on a beach and suddenly everyone is being showered in rotting gore, we finally got a fun one. Hillary “Madame President…

New Rules To Stop The Third Presidential Debate From Becoming Another Crazymaking Hellscape

October 19, 2016 by Ali Davis 1 Comment

If there’s one thing we can agree on as a nation – and I believe it is literally the only thing we can agree on as a nation – it is that the 2016 Vice Presidential debate was completely useless. The first Presidential debate was useful only as spectacle, provided one can enjoy the spectacle…

Donald Trump As Judas Iscariot

October 17, 2016 by Ali Davis Leave a Comment

In his short story – really a fictionalized academic essay – “The Three Versions of Judas,” Jorge Luis Borges plays with the idea of Judas Iscariot as the holiest figure in the New Testament. It’s the first version of Judas that interests us here. Borges’s fictional scholar points out that it wasn’t logically necessary for…
