Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are weird.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

No Justins, No Peace

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Fight them, without becoming them!

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

RIP, Big East

It looks like the Big East football conference is officially done:

Five schools filed a lawsuit Friday to try to prevent Miami and Boston College from jumping to the Atlantic Coast Conference, accusing them of secretly taking part in an expansion plan that could ruin the Big East.

The lawsuit, filed in state Superior Court in Hartford, Conn., says Miami and Boston College professed loyalty to their conference while concocting a “deliberate scheme to destroy the Big East and abscond with the collective value of all that has been invested and created in the Big East.”

Big East schools went ahead with millions of dollars in renovations and upgrades under the assumption they would be part of a healthy conference for years to come, the lawsuit contends.

Go to hell, Miami and BC, but Miami in particular. One more reason to dislike Donna Shalala.

Paul Krugman, Hack

Is there anything he can get right? Is there anything he won’t lie about? I loved this from today’s column:

Of course, the big betrayal was George W. Bush’s decision to push this tax cut in the first place. There is no longer any doubt that the man who ran as a moderate in the 2000 election is actually a radical who wants to undo much of the Great Society and the New Deal.

Show me once where he ran as a moderate. And don’t tell me that ‘compassionate conservative’ meant moderate. There are enough other lies in this column that I am sure you will see the column referred to over and over again.

F*** France

In the words of my apolitical mother, “The French are really making it hard to like them, aren’t they.” That was her mild response to the outrageous behavior displayed by our frog friends during Serena William’s loss to Justine Henin-Hardenne:

However, I thought the crowd at times showed poor taste toward Serena. There were a couple of occasions when the linesperson didn’t call the ball out and Serena stopped in the middle of a point to circle the mark and the chair umpire confirmed that the ball was out. Serena was completely in the right, but the crowd reacted negatively toward her. After that, they proceeded to cheer when Serena would miss the first serve, which is completely inappropriate.

Completely inappropriate is also putting it mildly. Serena’s mother got it right:

Her mother, Oracene Price, was more blunt: “The crowd showed a lack of class and total ignorance – or they just don’t know tennis and the etiquette of tennis.”

Even Henin-Hardenne acknowledged that the crowd’s behavior “sometimes could be a little bit too much.”

The French suck. We simply have to face facts and move on.

This is the first thing I have seen Tom Ridge say in two years that provides hope that he is more than a brain-dead automaton:

After raising the terror alert to its second-highest level three times over the past four months because of fears of potential terror attacks, Ridge said the system needs refining.

“We worry about the credibility of the system,” he told a small group of reporters. “We want to continue to refine it because we realize it has caused some anxiety.”

Ridge said the system, based on information from various intelligence agencies, relies heavily on the intelligence that is “fairly generic.”

Thanks, Tom.

Via TalkLeft, this excellent news:

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer sentenced convicted marijuana grower Ed Rosenthal to one day in federal prison with credit for time served, essentially setting him free.

Rosenthal was convicted in January of three marijuana cultivation and conspiracy charges. He faced more than 80 years in federal prison and $2.5 million in fines. The Federal Probation Department had recommended that Rosenthal be sentenced to two 21-month sentences to be served concurrently.

With so many lousy things going on, and so many people lying, swindling and generally being nuisances, it is nice to have something to smile about every now and then. This is one of them. Go have a long, happy life, Ed.

I can not take it anymore. I am sick and tired of news about the Clintons saturating the airwaves. I don’t when Hillary found out about her husband getting blowjobs from and sticking cigars in the bovine Monica Lewinsky. I just don’t give a shit. All I know is that any woman with any self-respect would have divorced Bill Clinton 20 years ago. Hillary has shown she is a high class hooker, a prostitute whose price is power, and she has stayed in this loveless facade of a marriage for her most recent payoff- a Senate seat.

There will be no more talk about Hillary’s book at this website- unless she is caught in a blatant lie. Everything about the woman is a fraud- I just don’t want to talk about it anymore.

And I really wish the news channels would stop talking about it, too. Aren’t there enough IMPORTANT things going on?
