Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

The willow is too close to the house.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

The revolution will be supervised.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Norah Who?

I didn’t watch much of the Grammy show last night, but not because I was protesting it or afraid of what a few limousine liberals might have to say about Iraq. Basically, I didn’t watch because they never really nominate or reward the type of music I enjoy. I read the results with interest wondering, who the hell buys all this stuff. One strong reaction I do have after reading the results:

Norah Who?

I know I am profoundly uncool, but I have never heard of Norah Jones before yesterday. I am unsure how Bruce Springsteen did not win- I am even more confused how Nelly and Eminem were snubbed. When I listen to the radio, it is usually NPR, talk radio, or ESPN Sports radio- so I am not a music expert when it comes to new music. I can tell you one thing though- when I went to a bar, when I went to a clothing store, when I was in a friend’s car, or at the lake, I know what I was hearing- people were playing Nelly and Eminem. Not Norah Jones.

Is it possible that the Grammy voters are more out of touch than I am?
