Yes, gas prices are going up but our new PAYNE AT THE PUMP program will make it fun for the whole family: now you can watch 1995's MAJOR PAYNE in 2.5 minute bites! Note: It will not remember what scenes you've already watched. And sometimes it will show 1994's RENAISSANCE MAN but we don't know why.

Image of a gas pump with a screen that has an image from the beloved 1995 Damon Wayans vehicle MAJOR PAYNE showing on the screen. There is also an image of an arrow pointing to a button next to the screen. This is the MAJOR PAYNE button. It will not work, the screens on the gas pumps will always just be showing MAJOR PAYNE (a loose adaptation the 1955 Charlton Heston film THE PRIVATE WAR OF MAJOR BENSON) on a loop, so you can't pick a scene and it will not remember what part you saw last time and you can't turn it off or turn the volume down. But you can push the MAJOR PAYNE button if you want to. But also it will sometimes be showing the 1994 Danny Devito/Gregory Hines movie RENAISSANCE MAN. We're not sure why or how, we didn't acquire the rights for RENAISSANCE MAN to stream on gas pumps. But it plays it sometimes anyway. Sometimes it seamlessly switches between the two movies. It's fucking weird, man. Anyway, yes, gas is going way up but this should probably even it out for you, this 150 seconds you'll be able to watch of MAJOR PAYNE (directed by Nick Castle, who also directed THE LAST STARFIGHTER and wrote the screenplays for ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and HOOK and appeared as Michael Myers in four different HALLOWEEN movies. You will not be able to watch any of these while getting gas. Just MAJOR PAYNE and, again, parts of or sometimes the entire film RENAISSANCE MAN, directed by the late Penny Marshall and the big screen debut of Mark Wahlberg. Also starring Kadeem Hardison.)

On the topic of degenerate art one of the artists targeted by the nazis for undermining the German spirit was Otto Dix, he depicted what he saw in World War 1 in hellish detail, as well as caricatures of veterans put through a meat grinder, rather than the glorious ideal. The nazis didn't like that.

The Trench by Otto Dix, a painting that depicts a hellscape of WWI trench warfare Painting by Otto Dix depicting an WWI veteran amputee who is selling match books, people are stepping over him, and a dog is pissing on him.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

I wrote about the dirty, demeaning, absolutely booming business of turning something like a shitty bigoted college essay into a shitty public career as a bigot, and also estimated how old Marine Todd would be today. defector.com/the-conserva...
