Our local news covered the march here in Austin

and tied it to the National marches.

Yes we did. Especially at first.

Obama was so novel and such a phenomenon that they ran all his speeches and all the press briefings.

I don't know how long it lasted but it was long enough for me to wonder when the right wing was going to howl that they were giving him too much coverage.

I think this kind of coverage started with George W., and it annoyed the hell out of me then.

But they did it for Obama, and now for Trump.

All it does is make me mute my teevee.

I'm gonna miss

that giraffe cam.

They took it down today.

Vinegar

The stronger the better.

100%

Makes me immediately doubt whatever they're saying.

Siegelman is currently on supervised probation after being released from prison on February 8, 2017.

I thought he was released last month.

No?

Everyone I've ever known from Oklahoma

has been lovely.

I don't understand why they elect the worst politicians in the country. It's like they never went to school.

And before you jump on Texas officeholders, we have some terrific ones in amongst the Gohmerts and Farentholds.

I can't think of any terrific ones from Oklahoma.

Boy you said it, Ferret.

I thought I couldn't laugh either, but then I got stung by a bee and decided I was just f**cked!

Without doubt.

Painful to listen to him - for this and other reasons.
