Wait until the excavations in Nacirema reveal the outlines of "The Fountain" at "Fountain Hills" in what used to be "Arizona"? The incongruity will blow survivors' minds.

Charles Bowden's Killing the Hidden Waters sounded a relatively early, largely unneeded warning. Then there's practically every word Edward Abbey ever wrote. Bowden had it about right, especially when he noted that people get trapped into the misleading faucet test: if there's clean water coming out of the faucet, well, things must be okay, right?

Karianne Lisonbee, the functional fool quoted above, got a bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University in "Family Studies." She also has half-a-dozen kids, evidence of a choice she denies others.

It's a patriarchy. Run by pompous, ignorant, insecure, and nervous men. "Effed up" doesn't even come close.

Crowd seemed unfazed, cool with "white life." Quelle sooprise. Thank goodness the ever alert stable genius corrected that racialist gaffe.

Sistah Sarah, one of the GOP's dimmer bulbs. Bound to go far, wherever yahoos reign.

Unfortunately, the metaphorical Dayton is never far away.

Always. In fact, according to.Ancient Astronauts' PAC noted attorney of record Roodles "9/11/9/11/9/11" Giuliani, it's theories first and then that evidence stuff.

James "Double-Digits Good to Go" Lankford.

Back in grad school days (daze?), Friday night barroom talk among arkies about the future of "remote sensing" almost sounded like dowsing. But that was then and this is now. LIDAR, amazing tool.

I think he did what he was supposed to do. Which is good. Just a heckuva thing when that's perceived as extraordinary.

In a small place like SD you're either in the loop or out of it. Indians? Out of the loop. This guy? Looped-in. See the difference?

Senator Yon Yonson of Wisconsin.

That said, Bowers isn't a hero. He did the bare minimum. Helluva thing, when just doing your job is above-and-beyond behavior in the Gawdawful Old Party.

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

IMO, Bowers could hardly have been presented with a more clearcut test of his faith. A bunch of fast-talking, sleazy gentiles tempting him in ways that call for him to either stand with or against what he believes to be the Word of God? I mean, Rudy Giuliani, of all people? This was the test the guy's been preparing for most of his life. Batter ... up!

Spent decades in AZ, got to know the place and its peoples pretty well, and Bowers comes across to me as real old-school LDS. Trump and those thinking like him completely misjudged the guy. They saw another coconspirator or mark; for Bowers, it looks like this became a test of personal faith. Oops.

What that malicious ------- needs is a solid a$$kicking.

Gambling mook, cokehead, crackwacker, then God.
So predictable, Mike.
Did you ever, really, get past "Go" in your personal journey of self-cancellation?

Big tent party? More like the Freak Show on the Midway.

As a University of Oklahoma president once observed, the school should aspire to be be one of which its football team could be proud.

It wasn't a joke.

DeSantis never feels obligated to explain himself. You listen, you obey. That's it. Another high-heel fascist. The GQP is awash with them.

That is old. We were still flying B52s back then.

We still are.
