We here at The Doctor Demento Show would like to express our sincerest apologies for today's program. When we invited Tom Lehrer on the show, it was in hopes of having a frank and honest exchange of ideas about local avian fauna. The last thing we would condone is hate speech, and as such, his comme

God the Republicans are always breaking promises and dashing hopes. First the taco trucks on every corner and now this.

9 days before the assassination attempt, Lee Greenwood (who partners with Trump on a $60 Bible) told a 4th of July crowd undocumented immigrants are coming to kill them.

Groups call out Lee Greenwood's 'hateful speech' at Albany 4th of July concertdemocratherald.com He said: "The only thing we hope for is that we can stop illegal immigration. Because the people who are coming through are coming through to kill you."

I am begging a tech journalist to destroy Calmara, a new AI app that claims it can detect whether or not someone has an STI from a photograph. Not only is this NOT how STI symptoms work, the data ramifications are horrifying.

Calmara: Your Intimacy Bestie for Unprotected Sexwww.calmara.ai Navigate raw sex, friends with benefits, casual relationship, ENM, and all things intimate with Calmara. No cap, just peace of mind for your sexual wellness.

The app that promised to ‘use AI to weed out daters with STIs’ has been shut downwww.theverge.com Calmara called itself “your intimate bestie for unprotected sex.”

Just a reminder: Trump inherited the lowest homicide rate of any president in 50 years. He was the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher homicide rate than when he entered. And the rate has dropped every year since he left. www.foxnews.com/video/635815...

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms that a Columbus, Ohio, police officer detailed to the RNC shot and killed a homeless Black man (earlier reported to be in his early 20s) more than half a mile from the RNC arena. The man was known by the nickname Jehovah and took care of a pit bull named Isis.

Remember, if the government can obtain a conviction against Bob Menendez for taking bribes and stuffing gold bars into his closet that he was given for working on behalf of a foreign government, there's nothing stopping them from indicting you for the same thing.

I worked at an office of Ross Perot's back in the day and the security detail they had was vv serious, and it was entirely because he helped get his people out of Iran. That country does not forget.

This seems like a grim natural experiment to show that access to mental health services isn't going to neutralize access to guns when it comes to controlling violence

Great article which sums up my stance: "If members of Congress want to replace Biden on the ticket, they can. They need to get together and do it. If not, then drop the idea and move on. But again there is just no damn time for whining."

Mostly agree except on reflection I feel like the three-day combo of the shooting, the Cannon decision, and the Vance pick was a powerful reminder of how miserable and exhausting it was to live with one goddamn thing after another when this guy had the spotlight for four straight years

I think Trump getting shot and being photographed with a defiant fist in the air, bloodied and unbowed, will actually lead to zero changed votes. He might be the only person in the universe that would be true of.

As I understand it, argument is that the NYT has played an outsized role in mainstreaming anti-trans policy and people of good conscience shouldn’t work for it. Felt to me like picking a target that might bleed instead of the many that won’t (GOP legislators who were doing this anyway).

Still pretty confused why people have such an obsession with bashing the times specifically. It hits, it misses, it has bad writers, it has good writers. Who cares. He’ll be missed on here!
