The Swamp

Ralph Sampson retweeted me a couple of years ago. I'm not gonna top that.

I never post anything on Twitter so I haven’t had any interactions there but Katie Porter, a fantastic freshman U.S. Representative from California, connected with me on LinkedIn before she got elected. That’s the coolest social media connection I can claim. She got rid of her LinkedIn profile once she got sworn in to Congress, however. Some of Rep. Porter’s best work is in the video below:

I got retweeted by Rick Reilly when I made the comment: "The fact that Rick Reilly and Skip Bayless are employed proves that the unemployment rate isn't high enough."

This was when it was like 9% too. I took some heat for that, but I laughed at them all.

I know I’m a bad person because my own personal unemployment index is based on how good the service is for service positions jobs on the Strip/Downtown Las Vegas. The theory goes that incompetent/idiotic performance means the unemployment rate is good/low because someone this stupid still having a job is proof the economy is spectacular. When the economy is bad, the people in those jobs are efficient and competent. This works best in a city like Las Vegas so predicated on tourism.

I'm just not a twitter guy. I guess that's my problem, huh.

Take it to the Clickhole thread.

Dammit. Guilty as charged!

The Kent State gun girl says she had her hotel robbed while at Trump's Nazi rally last night. I suspect it's some kind of grift, but nonetheless karma is -- as ever -- a bitch.

I call bullshit. No reason to have “wedding money” in the room. Just ridiculous

And here's the grift...

A cash wedding?

That's a new one.

Somehow I'm rooting for her and her stupid grift over the people giving money because they're too stupid to see the grift.

Right. I'm just jealous that I'm not morally capable of grifting these idiots myself. I legitimately wish I were.

Who travels with that much cash and leaves it in a room at a hotel that doesn't have a safe?

Someone planning to go out to buy some drugs or hookers but then gets too fucked up before leaving the room?

Someone looking for a fake excuse to cash in on her minor celebrity to get folks to just give her money for her wedding.

Holy hell is that serious? These fuckin' people man.

Weird how the "campaign link" at gofundme now cannot be found.

I love him. Glad I bought something. That’s perfect for a laundry room.

Made me wish I had a laundry room.

I have an alcove. And am already shelling out for a new washer and dryer...


Also, not that he isn’t do well enough on his own, but glad that someone great like Isbell gets to bask in the glory of that 30-50 feral hogs reply.

If this is what it takes to allow Jason Isbell to gain a larger audience then so be it.

Woohoo, Twitter "jail" for 12 hours for asking our president to MAGA and have a coronary.
