for over four centuries, the Gulf of Mexico has been sitting there, minding its own business, doing its watery thing. ‘what do you need, bro? access to New Orleans? float on by.’

everybody was happy, and nobody thought twice about it.

but that was before Mad King Donny rose to power, stamped his tiny little porcelain doll feet, and threw a technicolor shit-fit because some other country’s name was all over his water. it’s all so clownfuckingly childish — and yet, here we are.

after Donny issued his kingly decree that all water is mine now, Google happily rolled over and capitulated to Dear Leader. from that day forth, the Google Maps app would dutifully label that watery mass to our south as the Gulf of America — and that was a bridge too far for Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. get your fucking name, she declared, off of our water.

Tiedrich has a great rant today. ... Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."

If you saw the SNL 50th Anniversary special on NBC the other night, comedian Steve Martin made a pretty good joke: "I got a call from Lorne Michaels, asking me to give the opening monologue tonight, but I was out of the country. I had to rush home from vacation, from a cruise on the Gulf of Steve Martin."

2. Maybe ... maybe not

The Chump Administration just announced yesterday that they're no longer giving access to reporters from AP News because the AP News will NOT call it the "Gulf of America."

It's absolutely nuts.

3. Gulf of Fuck Trump and his bullshit!

Our country is in the hands of a 78 year old screaming toddler who whines about not getting a new toy every day.
