Scenes from the Texas Legislature's Opening Shitstorm


Which you won't be able to see if you've quit TwiX. The day began cold and uh, shriveled.


Played two songs and dipped. Hey, he's old.

Nick Anderson gave us the cartoon preview, and Pastors for Children posted the early line.

Johnnie Mo had the gameday program, and Justin Miller at the Observer provided the lineup and profiles of the puppetmasters and slaveholders.

Snark did not run as strong as in years past due to the Xitter exodus, but there were some hot takes and solid analysis amidst the incessant bleating of the MAGA minions.


Oh yeah. The Speaker's race. Almost forgot.

I'll continue the ridicule of our Lone Star Fascists -- the Texas GOP, the Cook caucus, the bussed-in 'Ban Democrat Chairs' redshirts from the boondocks -- but a few words need to be said about the Texas Democrats, who despite the prowess awarded them by the afore-mentioned, are not nearly so mighty as anyone should believe.


Imagine that: Donks not voting for the lesser of two piles of dogshit.

Naturally/unfortunately/regrettably, the Democrat who ran for Speaker was one of those who voted for the greater evil.

Demonstrating once again that the phrase "progressive Democrat" has been rendered worthless. Back to the MAGA-on-"RINO" violence.

In the midst of so much hatred and intolerance from so many Christian conservatives, this was the best thing that happened yesterday:

"Let's Stop Calling It Democracy" Funnies

I thought we needed a (bipartisan? Since Teddy's there, multi-partisan? For George Washington's sake let's call it nonpartisan) laugh.

Let's just not call it democracy.
Brian McFadden:
I'm not going to tune out of the news like many people have wisely done since the election, and I'm sure I'll be drawing those shitheads a lot, but I can't do another four years of "GET A LOAD OF THIS BOZO!" every week. It obviously had no effect the last time I did it, so why subject myself to that again?

Brad's collation will always be there for you, Brian.
On the tenth anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, Clay Jones reminds that censoring cartoonists has a long and too often violent history.

And Mother Nature, aka climate change, emphasized her irritation again at homo sapiens and our reckless stewardship.
California Democrats do own this disaster, but the DEI firehose is MAGA douchebaggery. The toon fix was necessary.


Anita Bryant's anti-gay campaign called 'Save The Children' was the blueprint for every homophobic attack on queer people for nearly 50 years. She had several top 20 hits in the '60s, was seen regularly on TV as a spokesperson for the Florida Citrus Commission, and in death is recognized mostly for her bigotry.

JP Rowling might take that legacy under careful consideration.
