@aral Wait — this isn’t Photoshopped? This can’t be real!?!
@tantramar Photoshop quit last year. Couldn’t keep up with reality.
@aral Did The Onion buy them, too?
What the hell. In the past, we have had ministers that were members of the Opus Dei here in Spain and not even them showed up like this. What the fuck what the fuck
@aral that's insane
Wasn't the terrible pilot of an American version of Red Dwarf in the 90s enough punishment already? Do we really deserve this as well?
@aral Normally I wouldn't comment on physical appearance (not the ashes, but stuff you can't do anything about), but a few times in the past few days I've caught myself marvelling at Rubio's ears. Are they really big, or does he have a small head? There's a guest appearance as a Vulcan on some Star Trek show in his future
Edited to add - I’m not making fun of his appearance, really - that’s not what I’m feeling. I’m just *really* impressed by them
@aral my best friend, one of the most leftist people i know (not a liberal, a leftist--somewhere in the marxist ballpark) and an episcopalian, wore ash on her forehead for ash wednesday. this seems like such an inane personal attack when there is a wealth of concrete policy decisions, political stances, and character aspects of his up for criticism
@aral
This requires some explanation.
