The Graham-Cassidy Bill – Stick a Fork In It

CNN reports, “The Republican zombie repeal and replace effort just died. Again.

Maine Sen. Susan Collins’ announcement that she will not vote for her party’s last-ditch attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare effectively dooms Republican hopes of abolishing a law they spent eight years campaigning against.

Trump Derangement Syndrome – Ben and Jerry’s Style

So Donald Trump has an extra scoop of ice cream and liberal’s heads explode everywhere?  Imagine, then if you will, a world in which the President orders a “cherry on top” of his extra scoops?  Perhaps with extra whipped cream…?

The Runaways – “Cherry Bomb”

One couldn’t find a more appropriate group of libs than Mses. Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart and Floria Sigismondi to provided some ‘Trumped’ up outrage.

Je suis ‘Charlie Hebdo’, Weisels de Merde

My guess, Charlie, is that no one within 2000 miles East or West of Houston would give a good fuck whether or not Abdullah and his Merry Band of Throat Slitters paid a return visit to your Offices.  Hard to believe, isn’t it, after that misplaced Kumbaya moment a couple of years ago.

From the Washington Post, “Charlie Hebdo cover suggests Hurricane Harvey victims are neo-Nazis“.

The newspaper’s latest issue takes aim at a new target: the victims of the catastrophic Hurricane Harvey, which hit Texas on Friday, killing at least 35 people, displacing thousands and causing billions of dollars in damage.

The art on the Charlie Hebdo cover shows swastika flags and hands raised in what looks like Nazi salutes poking out above floodwaters. The text reads: “God exists! He drowned all the neo-Nazis of Texas.” The illustration is an apparent reference to Texans’ support of Donald Trump, who won 52.6 percent of the state’s vote in the presidential election.

‘Stop Action’ Genius or Poster Child for International OCD Foundation

You judge, but do watch. His project is wonderful.

Phil Tippett has spent a lifetime in the film industry, working as a model-maker, visual effects supervisor, director and stop-motion animator.

He’s been involved with big-name productions such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and RoboCop among others. But his real passion lies in handmade stop-motion animation. For over 30 years, Tippett has been working on an incredibly detailed film called “Mad God”. He describes it as being set “in a Milton-esque world of monsters, mad scientists and war pigs.” Amazingly, each character is painstakingly constructed by hand from foam, clay, latex and wire. Despite all the arduous toil, Tippett sees “Mad God” as a form of therapy and a way to reconnect with a time when special effects and animation were all done by hand.
