Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The revolution will be supervised.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

No one could have predicted…

This really is a full service blog.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

In Defense of Tereza

At the Kerry Spot, I see Jim Geraghty tryingto make the case that Tereza Heinz Kerry simply does not belong on the campaign trail, and he offers this anecdote as evidence:

I realize most Kerry Spot readers, including the most important one named Mom, cannot stand Teresa Heinz Kerry. But I hear stories like this, or her comment about how she roots for the Pittsburgh Steelers while in Cleveland (garnering boos from Browns fans), and I just feel bad for her. This poor woman does not belong anywhere near the campaign trail.

I don’t know Geraghty’s background, but it is clear he does not understand some fundamentals about Pittsburgh:

A.) For a ‘Burgh native, it is a capital offense to fail to root for the Steelers when they are playing the Browns.

B.) Should a ‘Burgh native not only fail to root for the Steelers, but, *SHUDDER*, root for the Browns, the Death Penalty becomes an option.

Tereza may have been a bad campaigner when failing to root for the Browns, but she was just doing her loyal duty and fulfilling her obligations as a Pittsburgh native. It really is that simple.

BTW- the Steelers home field is Heinz field.

    Agreed–team loyalty in “enemy” territory is a virtue. A virtue that can get beer thrown on you, of course, but a virtue nonetheless

    It’s funny but we feel the same way about the Squealers.

    BTW, Ketchup Park is just as butt-ugly as Three Rivers ever was. :{P

    I went to watch my Raiders stomp the Steelers in that park Week 2 of the Super Bowl season two years ago. I believe it was the second year the stadium had been open and I have to say it’s one of the nicest I’ve ever been in.

    And I agree wholeheartedly that it was absolutely required of her to maintain team loyalty in this instance (though, really, I tend to doubt Teh-ray-zuh is actually a football fan).

    In the mid 80’s, I attended a Steelers/Clowns game in Cleveland- I sat in the “Dogpound” in full Steelers attire and had a great time joking with the other fans with no problems.

    Of course, the Steelers lost 42-7 or something like that… :o(
