Washington Post – Nancy Reagan, 1921-2016
The GOP is living some dire, dismal days folks. Torn asunder in civil war, held in hopeless ransom by a pulsating, bloviating blowhard, their kind is now mourning the loss of their beloved queen mother, a silky, stunning relic from the 80s named Nancy Reagan. Nancy died in Los Angeles yesterday at the hardened age of 94. Her life, style, and glamor came to define the inflated pomp of the White House in the 80s, as she herself evolved into a heroine for the conservative class – a perfectly coiffed consort to the jelly bean sucking titan they so idolized. While a lot of her choices will be fiercely debated (and condemned) in the wake of her death, she also stood out as a fierce “protector” of her husband, a ruthless narc, and a proponent of stem cell research. So, whatever, make of that what you will. Bye Nancy, you were very pretty and very skinny so good job.

Thanks Kim! We definitely asked for this.
People – Kelly Clarkson, Not Sucking
Kelly Clarkson, a person who is better than 98% of the people in her industry, said in an interview that not-medically-licensed and not-doctor Dr. Luke is also “not a good person.” Unfortunately, this is something that in this day and age we need to laud as brave and unique.
Daily Mail – Friendly Reminder from SNL: If You’re Voting for Trump You’re Probably a Racist Hateful Lunatic
In what I suppose is an apology for entertaining his whims to be host last October, Saturday Night Live offered this accurate and subtle portrait of Trump’s voter base.
And as a (sort of related) bonus, here’s a great review by the great Rich Juzwiak of last night’s Season 2 premiere of I Am Cait, which I refuse to touch with a 10-foot pole lest my brain explode out of my skull in tiny, scalding pieces of rage. Enjoy!
