Zingers and smut

I know we're descending into fascism and that a man-boy who calls himself "Big Balls" is now a senior government adviser, but what occurred at Radio City Music Hall last night at approximately 8:30 pm tore a hole in the universe that will never be repaired.

No I'm not linking to it because if you want to watch that, I'm certainly not helping you. If someone had sacrificed a baby goat on my front step, I would have been less offended. I woke up this morning thinking about it and got mad all over again. Dave Grohl, you are dead to me.

🎥 A Lien (in select theaters)
If you live in a city with an Alamo Drafthouse, I highly recommend making time to see the Oscar-nominated shorts. It's a very satisfying way to spend an hour and a half, watching several 20-30 minute pieces of art. This particular film, about a family attempting to secure a green card, could not come at a more fitting time and will rip your heart completely out. We should be airing it on a loop outside the White House.

🎥 Arthur (Prime rental)
You need some good laughs right now. Yes, I am in fact recommending a movie from 1981 that features the nonsensical love match of Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. You will laugh out loud a lot. This movie has so many zingers, it comes very close to unseating Airplane.

Susan: A real woman could stop you from drinking.
Arthur: It'd have to be a real big woman.

📖 Milk Fed
You possibly also need some smut right now. This book is dirty! And you have no hint it's going to be, so you're reading along, feeling pity for a woman battling an eating disorder, and then BOOM, soft core porn shows up. It also contains many egregious descriptions of food, which will make you hungry. The story ends with something of a whimper but I will certainly remember this one.

The 'Let's Not Forget They're Idiots' section

CNN's Dana Bash: “I remember a time when Republicans were very careful about the government having access to personal data.”
Homeland Security Head Kristi Noem: “Well, we can’t trust the government anymore.”
Bash: “You are the government.”
Noem: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”

Have a great long weekend. Tomorrow night is the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special, and I think I speak for all of America when I say, Enough already.
