Today I got something published in which I call Steve Bannon a trash bag full of old taco meat right before I describe Alex Jones as an anthropomorphic sweat gland.
Boy I had fun writing this. I like it when it's fun. And the end result is probably better for it.

Well said, and I endorse every sentence and sentiment.

Congratulations, Ed:
If you need some help, "punching things up", consider this:
"Ted Cruz gives scumbags (and "d-bags"–whether dirtbag or douchebag) a bad name.
I think of Ted and his fellow slimetrailers as used colostomy bags. Far more apt in my opinion as they are full of shit and no sooner emptied than they begin to fill again."
It's auto-plaigarized from a comment I put on a thread over @ Hemant's "Friendly Atheist" blog.

YOU GO, BRO!!
"Garbage bag full of old taco meat": love it.
@DC, hopefully Lyin' Ted's porn tweet yesterday will bring a swift end to his political "career". He's up for reelection next year : )

@ geoff:
One can hope. Texas seems quite happy to elect people who are vile hypocrites on a continuous basis.
Major Kong says:
Ed, you've achieved the holy grail, actually getting paid for content. Enjoy it.
disgusted says:
I read your article and most of it was right on the mark. Bannon and his ilk are the scourge of the earth and do not need a platform for their hate filled rhetoric.
However, I do take umbrage to a portion of what you said namely:
However, a measurable minority of the (largely older, white) audience of a show like 60 Minutes is predisposed to believe the white-dominant, Euro-glorifying view of history as competitive cultural eugenics that he espouses.
I happen to be in that group you seem to slam with each posting: those over the age of 55, who are white. Just so you know there are many of us who believe as you do that the liar-in-chief and all of those he has put in power are ruining America and its ideals. We are disgusted with his policies and want to see him, Pence, Ryan and all those that wish to take away our freedom to go.
So, rather than keep putting us all in "the basket of deplorables" you need to remember that labeling groups is not only unfair but also unkind. Many of my friends who did not vote for trump are both educated and not but they can think and read and chose to choose honor and values over dishonor and l lies.
disgusted says:
On another note, while you are slamming CBS you might also want to give a thumbs down to MSNBC and CNN for airing pro-trump, pro-republican advertisements while their news pundits espouse negative news shows about the president, Republicans and their plans to pass bills that will hurt Americans.
Lining their pockets with pro-trump ads, and telling the truth about what is happing in the US is disgusting and trivializes what their news shows are trying to do.

@ disgusted
In Ed's defense, he does have voting statistics on his side, however much we might wish it were otherwise.
ronzie says:
This is the line that made me LOL: "…Bannon, a man famous for looking like he has just finished a ten-day bender in Mos Eisley".
This paragraph reminds me of something I heard a holocaust survivor say when they were questioned about their support for laws banning holocaust denial. I can't remember the exact quote, but it was something like "when the last survivor is gone, all people will know about it is what was written, and the denials will be competing with the truth on an even footing".

Many good lines there. Somewhere,
Hunter S. Thompson is smiling.
democommie says:
"Somewhere, Hunter S. Thompson is smiling."
Or wishing he had not pulled the trigger, and I say that with a sense of loss, I often had a hard time getting his stuff on anything less than 3 readings but it was always worth the effort.
sea4sky says:
Hey, disgusted: As an almost-old, I am not in the least bit offended by that sentence referencing "a measurable minority of the (largely older, white) audience…" since Ed qualifies it by calling out "a measurable minority." In other words, he's not talking about us here, he's talking about our high school classmates who used to have sense then lost it or who used to smoke jays out behind the school but then made a little money and got scared of losing it or who were always self-satisfied numb-nuts with grandpa views who've become increasingly emboldened thanks to a long-time diet of Rush and Fox and Alex Jones.
The rest of us are rightfully horrified by what comes out of the mouths of our uncles and neighbors and co-workers these days. And we need to let that horror drive constant and concerted activism.
(All I can say is THANK GOD my folks are rabid Rachel Maddow viewers, because otherwise, I don't think I could have much of a relationship with them in these dire days…)
N__B says:
Why "anthropomorphic"? He doesn't remind me of any actual human I've ever met. I have no reason to believe Alex Jones is anything other than CGI gone wrong.
Bill says:
Bravo! An excellent article. I hope your writing for Rolling Stone becomes a regular occurrence.
Ten Bears says:
I'm not sure that he did, d'commie. but that's water under the bridge.
The bimbo bottle blonde bobble-heads of the multi-millionaire mainstream media see their fair share of derision around here disgusted, we're all pretty disgusted. I've long lumped CMN a Faux News wanna-bee, and my few long ago attempts at MSNBC were interrupted by ninety second infotainmercials (eyup, just made that one up) about fracking, and our nuclear future. Trains planes and automobiles.
democommie says:
"I have no reason to believe Alex Jones is anything other than CGI gone wrong."
Colonically gestated Ickiness?
@ Ten Bears:
Yes, I'm just going by the news reports.
Yes, fracking and nukes don't scare me but they do piss me off.
Ormond Otvos says:
Good article, but kinda polite, considering the subject…
Luke says:
Well done. Stick with it.
RobW says:
A bag of taco meat? Previously (on Facebook) you'd described him as "a large trash bag filled with hot dogs and cocaine, covered in Axe body spray."
That was beautiful, man.
