As a political metaphor, I’d say Trump got elected because he knows the right way to squish normal Americans to make them feel secure.

Icebreaker: What Is Your Favorite Book?
Having finished “The 25 most popular icebreaker questions based on four years of data” and enjoyed the results, I’m moving on to a new list:
76 Fun Icebreaker Questions (Not all of which will be used, since some are either/or questions, which are boring.)
Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.

What is your favorite book?
“Sidequest: In Realms Ungoogled“, of course
Runner up: Victor Hugo’s “93“, mostly for the description of the loose cannon. After reading that, I finally understood what that phrase meant. Turns out very few situations actually warrant that phrase, because a loose cannon is a far worse thing than you think it is.

Trump Is Our Do-Over
In a recent interview, an ailing Senator John McCain said that he “regretted” picking Sarah Palin for the bottom of the ticket in 2008.
Not nearly as much as we regret picking him for the top.
Monday Night Open Thread
I’ve shown a couple of those “Movies Explained For” videos. The language isn’t really family-friendly, but is bleeped, so…
Anyway, I didn’t plan on sharing any more of them, but this one came out recently, and absolutely nailed it. I actually saw this thing in a movie theater. Long story as to why, and I don’t go into it. But, I didn’t want to watch it because I didn’t think I’d enjoy it. I was right. And so was Jeb.
Now, it’s your turn. It’s Monday Night Open Thread, and you get to pick the topic.

If You’re So Smart, How Come You Were Dumb Enough to Fall Into Their Trap?
UC Berkeley’s official report blames recent violence against conservative speakers on the speakers themselves, claiming they wanted to “incite” the far left to violence to make universities look bad.
Oh. Then conservative speakers wrote this report, too?

Also, duct tape makes a great Father’s Day gift. Just write “Happy Father’s Day, from [your name]” on the inside of the cardboard core, and you will be remembered with gratitude every time it gets used.

What is your favorite TV show?
The Simpsons, because A: quotable B: at the end of every episode, Homer & Marge are still happily married and madly in love. Homer may be stupid and selfish, but he loves his wife & lets her know. It’s his only admirable quality, but it’s a good one. In this day & age, it’s practically subversive.
