Or maybe News of the Weird. This will be a running account of gaffes, malapopisms, misapprehensions, delusions, and conspiracy theories among the troglodytes.

This is a beaut:

Marjorie Taylor Greene emerged from her cave to denounce Nancy Pelosi and her Gazpacho (!) police, as part of a vast conspiracy to spy on patriots who are doing patriotic things like storming the US Capitol. Wowser!

Two conclusions: she managed to sleep through World History and has never read a menu at a Spanish restaurant.

The answer is, she appealing to her perceived base. I do think these radically charged bases are a minority. That said, they get lots of media attention.

At least she used a real word.

Indeed. . .

Don't know the context, which would help. Sounds like "true international pressure."

Do you really want to go down that road? Ram the ramparts, so to speak?

You might think I only target RWWs, but here's a Democratic doozy:

U.S. House Candidate Apologizes for Behavior at Sleepover

By Neil Vigdor
Feb. 21, 2022

A Democratic candidate for Congress in Oklahoma apologized in a television interview on Friday after parents complained that she drank and verbally abused children attending a sleepover at a friend’s home this month.

The House candidate, Abby Broyles, a former television investigative reporter who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 2020, said that she had no memory of what happened because she had mixed alcohol and a sleep medicine. About eight girls between the ages of 12 and 13 attended the Feb. 11 sleepover, where they watched the movie “Titanic,” according to NonDoc Media, a journalism nonprofit in Oklahoma.

When first contacted by NonDoc Media for comment, Ms. Broyles seemed to deny that she was at the party. After a TikTok video showed otherwise, she gave an interview to KFOR-TV, an Oklahoma City station where she once worked. She did not immediately return a message from The Times on Monday. In the interview, Ms. Broyles said that she had “blacked out” after drinking wine and taking a sleep medication. She said the medicine was given to her by her friend, whose daughter was having a sleepover when Ms. Broyles came to visit.

“I had an adverse reaction,” Ms. Broyles said. “Instead of helping me sleep, I hallucinated. And I don’t remember anything until I woke up or came to, and I was throwing up in a hamper.”

Ms. Broyles, 32, who is a lawyer, is seeking her party’s nomination in June to run against Representative Stephanie Bice, a Republican in her first term representing Oklahoma’s Fifth Congressional District. A Democrat has held the seat only once in recent history, and for just two years. The district includes most of Oklahoma City. In 2020, Ms. Broyles unsuccessfully ran to unseat Senator James Inhofe, Republican of Oklahoma.

Citing information from some parents and children who attended the party, NonDoc Media reported that Ms. Broyles had sworn at one girl, while also mentioning that she was Hispanic, and had referred to another girl’s acne, among other abusive remarks. They said that she had vomited into one of the girls’ shoes, in addition to the laundry hamper.

Whatever happened to conservative humor?

Buckley was a maestro. P. J. O'Rourke was a hoot.

There are some hilarious bits on Fox News, entirely unintended. Tucker Carlson is laughable, in the grand tradition of Josef Goebbels.

Nope. You're the guy who always chimpscreams "YOU WATCH TUCKER". I don't, but how would you know what Tucker does or doesn't say? Why do you invoke him?

You're the only guy who ever talks about Tucker. My links don't come from Fox or Tucker.

Actually, it is you. The reason is it is physically impossible for me.
