Dear OPW Lazyweb... (and a listo!) Jill "xtingu" Knapp 6/8 '17

  • Dear OPW Lazyweb: I accidentally clicked the "Hey! I don't wanna receive these anymore!" link in the automated OPW digest email. How can I turn that back on?

Also:

  • Matt Casarino started an OPW post on 5/30 but just made it public yesterday because he just finished it. So, if you're interested in reading his brain-pickinz, go scroll back a week. (or, click here.)

Also:

  • I watched some of the Comey testimony today. I love Comey so much and wish he was my neighbor and I want to bring him chicken cutlets and a lasagna. He just seems like a genuinely GOOD person.  John McCain, whom I respect, sadly seemed doddering and confused and like he was genuinely struggling to make sense. It made me sad. 
  • In other news, come to the Bellefonte Cafe (804 Brandywine Blvd, Wilmington) on July 1st from 8-10pm for our annual Hot Breakfast Summer Concert of Happiness. Good food, no cover charge, all that. 
  • Lastly, please send good vibes to the Moskosteins... JD is not doing well (he's a very old boy) and they all need some good juju.

I accidentally caught most of the McCain bit while driving in the car. I had, up until that moment, thought McCain had all his faculties intact and was a reasonable and intelligent person. Listening, I felt as though I'd stepped into some alternate universe. Then I got over myself and thought, "Well that was clever. Conflate two entirely unrelated investigations in the minds of your base and then claim Comey was playing favorites." And I stopped thinking McCain was befuddled and instead felt that chill you get when you brush up against Evil. It kind of broke my heart. I never wanted McCain for a president, but until that moment I hadn't thought he was a bad person.

i totally felt the same way about McCain. i was in my car at lunchtime and heard his questions, and i was literally screaming at my radio. ugh ugh ugh.

Yeah, I yelled "WHAT LANGUAGE IS THAT?" like 97 times. He was getting his people/names all confused, even saying "President Comey" a few times. The live video feed showed a split screen with whomever was questioning on one side and Comey on the other. Comey was really trying to follow McCain and give him the benefit of the doubt... I mean, we've all flubbed and stuttered before... but after Minute 4, Comey's eyebrows ever-so-subtly twitched because he just couldn't parse his word-salad or even the spirit of McCain's question.

When McCain's questioning-period was up, the referee announced "The Senator's time has expired." The Twitterverse said "No truer words to describe John McCain."

Ouch.

Oh, that's just sad.

Thank you for the update on JD. xoxoxoxo

Also, if you are not listening to the Crimetown podcast, you should be.
Because the WISE GUY VOICES is why. You will geek out like I did, I know it. Google play does podcasts now, just look up Crimetown.

We love listening to podcasts on the long drives to/from my folks' house. We typically just toss on the Savage LoveCast (because Dan Savage), but Crimetown sounds pretty rad. We'll queue it up! Thanks for the recommendation!
