a plot that could only be understood by a man clutching his own pillow (their jug of government bleach)

April 2021

“We are celebrating President Biden’s vaccine milestone: all American adults are eligible to receive a Covid vaccine, as promised two weeks ago. It’s a huge contrast from his predecessor, Voldemoron. Even under that guy’s most optimistic projections, at this point only a third of US adults would’ve received their jug of government bleach.” —Stephen Colbert

“Yet it’s not all good news on the vaccine front: a recent poll of Republicans and white evangelical Christians found almost 30% of each group would ‘definitely not’ get a shot. Apparently the message, ‘the vaccine is safe and effective’ isn’t as believable as ‘Hugo Chavez and a cabal of celebrity pedophiles stole an election from the least popular president in history in a plot that could only be understood by a man clutching his own pillow.’” —Stephen Colbert

“Another long-simmering scandal: GOP groups who mass-purchase books written by Republicans to boost sales and land them on bestseller lists. That’s so embarrassing. It’s like when your dad has to buy all of your Girl Scout cookies because your cookies are painfully boring, and blame everything on immigrants. It’s always been a shady strategy, but it may have now broken the law: Senator Ted Cruz of Texas is accused of violating campaign finance rules by mass-purchasing his new book with $154,000 of campaign money. A warning to anyone visiting Ted Cruz’s house: You’re gonna leave with a book. Also a warning to anyone going to Ted Cruz’s house: Ted Cruz is gonna be there.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
