FRIDAY 'ROUND-THE-HORN: AN AGE OF CLODS AND MONSTERS EDITION.

I have never heard a bad Desmond Dekker record.

Not gonna push it too hard here as this is only Friday 'Round-the-Horn technically -- it's after midnight but I ain't been to bed yet. Anyway the atrocities continue: Pam Bondi is the new Matt Gaetz, and if anything it's even worse because she's actually been an AG at the state level and a stupefyingly corrupt one at that -- as Charlie Pierce explains -- whereas Gaetz was never more than a stunt appointee, a bit of chum to keep the Prestige Press putzes bobbing and Republican elected officials trembling lest they be forced to show loyalty and embarrass themselves by praising an obvious freak. From the moment Tubby tapped a checked-out oil executive for Secretary of State in 2016, anyone who was paying attention would have seen the game: Trump chooses flunkies based on whims and chits rather than ability. So it's a trip to see reporters asking how his people could have failed to "vet" Gaetz and fellow sex criminal Pete Hegseth et alia when everyone knew they were shit going in.  As Tom Tomorrow attests, this is not how things are done when you give a shit about the country you're gonna run:

Time for the REBID freebies! I'm very pro-Bluesky these days so go see me there and also read this about what got me to stop lurking and go whole-Alfhog. (It's at least partly because fash fucks get no traction there.)  And here's my most recent episode of Received Opinion with Bolt Upright, in which Peoni, Chafe and the gang are, like their real-life counterparts, obeying-in-advance to beat the band.
