    ... a shouting match over climate change broke out between two boisterous old men, sending the evening down an extremely unfortunate path.

    The gaseous exchange began
    after a guest asked Kennedy, founder of the ecological organization Waterkeeper Alliance, about the environment.

    And it seems that the mere inquiry was enough to set off apparently drunk gossip columnist-turned-flack Doug Dechert, the host of the event, who became enraged and screamed at the top of his lungs: The climate hoax!

    Meanwhile, octogenarian art critic Anthony Haden-Guest, who appeared to have been sleeping happily for most of the dinner, was roused by the abrupt rumpus.

    He suddenly opened his eyes and denounced his longtime pal Dechert, calling him a "miserable blob."

    "Shut up!" implored Haden-Guest.

    Haden-Guest tells us he was not asleep. "I was just thinking," he told us, and says he is the one who asked the question about the environment.

    Dechert continued to scream wildly about the climate change.

    Meanwhile, Kennedy, a prospective president of the United States, watched calmly.

    Anthony Hayden-Guest stepped in to call Dechert a "miserable blob."

    Here, it seems, Dechert sensed the need for a new rhetorical tack, and let rip a loud, prolonged fart while yelling, as if to underscore his point.

    The room, which included a handful of journalists as well as Kennedy's campaign manager, former Rep. Dennis Kucinich, was stunned, seemingly unsure about whether Dechert was farting at Haden-Guest personally or at the very notion of global warming.

    I posting this here because I don't want to sully the actual thread, but assholes on twitter keep posting fake pics of Trump and Jimmy Buffett.
    Fuck that shit.
    Buffett was stone cold anti Trump. He campaigned for Carter. Performed for Clinton. Hosted a fundraiser at his home for Hillary. Changed the lyrics in Volcano in live shows to make fun of Trump.
    Don't. Just fuckin don't.

    I’m pretty sure that etiquette allows President Biden to visit one disaster at a time.

    So why not people in Florida instead of DeSantis.

    Like a tired family at Disney World, that one's leaving the park and not coming back.

    The ethos of the modern GOP is that the Democrats are not fellow Americans but mortal enemies. It’s more important to oppose them than anything else.

    I get that. I also know that I am not like one of my heroes, Will D. Campbell, in that I cannot so easily overlook the fact that there are people who embrace Nazism, The Klan, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers. I should be able to look beyond that, but they're enemies as far as I'm concerned.
