This is for those folks who miss David Letterman.

Dave's voice can be heard in most of their tweets and observations--I just wish Letterman would come out of his retirement with a new show to dismantle Trump's spin machine. But until then here are a few of his hilarious writers from the NBC and CBS days.




Gerard Mulligan used to appear in skits with Chris Elliot on Late Night and the Late Show:

And of course Merrill Markoe-- She was one of the writers on Dave's NBC show who helped cultivate Letterman's style-- And Merrill is one of his ex gfs. Very funny lady:

Right now I'm afraid for our country

Does anyone else out there believe Trump would lob a couple of nukes into North Korea?

We all know in the past how presidents have handled the NK threat-- Trump is a different monster. Im willing to bet if NK lobs a couple of firecrackers into the waters near Japan that Trump will send us head first into a war-- One that we could lose!

Mattis is heading to Tokyo and Seoul in Feb-- I'm scared Un will do something before then...


From UPI:

"Hwang had said on Tuesday the security situation facing South Korea is "very severe," in response to Kim Jong Un's pledge to not stop nuclear weapons development.

A South Korean defense official who spoke to Yonhap on the condition of anonymity said Mattis' visit is a sign the "Trump administration is taking North Korea's threats seriously."

The deployment of the U.S. missile defense system THAAD is likely to be discussed when Mattis meets with Han.

Seoul has said THAAD would be deployed by mid-2017, but Beijing has been striking back with sanctions against South Korean companies.

It is unclear, however, whether Mattis would be raising the issue of military cost sharing that Trump raised in the course of the campaign, although the defense secretary had said he expects U.S. "allies and partners to uphold their obligations."

The new defense secretary has also said international alliances and security partnerships must be embraced during his confirmation hearing."

NC woman body-shamed across America

SOUTHPORT, N.C. (WECT) – Hundreds of thousands of people took part in the Women’s March in Washington Saturday, including Elizabeth Flora of Southport.

Flora marched because she wanted to make a difference but had no idea how different her life would be just a few days later.

A photo snapped of Flora wearing a “Love Trumps Hate” shirt at the event began circulating social media after it was turned into a body-shaming meme. Flora said Tuesday night she was shocked at the things being said about her.

A Facebook post by Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor at Breitbart, garnered 1.1 million views by Tuesday morning. It read “these women want free birth control,” and Flora was one of several pictured.

NC State Sen. Dan Bishop to Seek Protection for Gov. McCrory from Rioters

Dan Bishop wants to waste taxpayer's money by protecting this POS-- I don't see anything wrong with the protesters shouting "Shame" and "Asshole" at McCrory-- What do you think?

If you haven't seen the video then you can watch it here:

From the NC Senator's campaign site:

Who is Udai Basavaraj?

Lines are being crossed, and I have been holding my tongue. Yesterday, however, one of the growing series of spectacles caught my attention like no other. It was a video article posted on the Charlotte Observer’s website showing the immediate past governor of North Carolina chased by a chanting mob down a blind alley in Washington, DC on Saturday.

The 3:35 video begins with former Gov. Pat McCrory bidding goodbye to TV commentator Lou Dobbs on a city sidewalk. The mob approaches him and begins chanting and shouting, “Shame on you... You’re a bigot and an a**hole... You’re not a man, you’re a coward.”

Gov. McCrory retreats calmly in the company of three women and Mr. Dobbs down an alley to a building entrance that is locked. As they wait to be admitted, mob continues to chant, “Shame.” Just after the one minute mark, the ringleader says, “We’ve got you now.”

Two more anxious minutes pass until uniformed Secret Service officers arrive and usher the mob away. The mob turns on them, shouting, “Shame on the cops, too.”

Ubiquitous leftist rioters are fond of shouting “Shame,” but invariably incapable of it.
