      “Hey Ruth! I hear you’re the RA. Listen, I think my roommate might be like way dangerously insane. I can’t even enter my own room because she just scares the hell out of me. Could you help me out here? She’s physically aggressive and always drunk and twitchy and obsessive and delusional. She takes pictures of people while they’re sleeping. She has pictures of you. Last night she stormed into our room at 3am and chased me out while shouting up a storm. The entire floor heard her! I can’t even sleep because of her!”

      Ruth raises an eyebrow. “Um yeah sure. Let’s make her someone else’s problem. I think that’s within my abilities considering the severity of the complaints.”

    It continues to amuse me that Sal seems incapable of acknowledging her own crazy-ass behavior (again, she finds climbing the wall of a four story building easier than simply opening the door to her dorm and stepping over the sleeping body on the floor.)

    And yet… Billie is starting to loose her own remaining sanity points towards the end here.

      As Gangler has hypothesized, and I’m starting to agree, Sal uses Squirrel-Logic. By the views of Squirrel-Logic, one ignores one’s own contributions to things, as one is barely aware one exists, as one is constantly on the lookout for external threats. Sal is certainly doing this very thing…

No. And she’s out at all hours, often inexplicably absent; entering and exiting through upper-story windows; has a better vehicle than anybody else around? Obvious superhero traits. And the capper? Amazi-girl doesn’t wear glasses. Sal doesn’t wear glasses. Q.E.D.

I hope Josh Johnson is given The Daily Show and is allowed to rebuild it from scratch in his own image just like Jon Stewart got to do in 99. He has built his own groundbreaking form of topical comedy, and imitating the style of others is something he is great at, but better than.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files. Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:
