Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This blog will pay for itself.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Cole is on a roll !

This really is a full service blog.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

In my day, never was longer.

This fight is for everything.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

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

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Everybody saw this coming.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

    I don’t think I can watch anything set in Medieval times anymore, they go so far out of their way to be so aggressively non-Medieval in every way. It’s like the end of one of Steve Martin’s Theodoric of York sketches. “Perhaps one day women will be treated as equals, and there will be a… a… SEPERATION of Church and State…”. Heard a speech from the movie on E! or something last night, the hero’s a PoMo Agnostic Relativist or something. He’s basically exhorting all his troops about how the teritory they’re fighting for isn’t really holy. I have yet to fully absorb how much it would suck for a guy in that position to actually do that, and is it too much to ask the filmakers to remember that this guy is supposed to be a Medieval European? I’m starting to think that LA people genuinely believe that all people, at all times, were exactly like them.

    The real problem is there’s simply too many of these sorts of movies. Big huge hundred-thousand man armies were cool at first but they’re no substitute for a decent plot and characters.

    That said, I heard it was good. These new historical epics tend to be hit-and-miss. Gladiator was excellent, Troy was decent, The Last Samurai was good in some places, poor in others, Alexander was bad, and King Arthur ought to have earned Fuqua the death penalty for crimes against humanity.

    Nah, Orlando Bloom is definitely an agnostic in the movie. He claims to have been abandoned by God, and he leads not for the cross, but for the people living in Jerusalem.

    I like this movie more and more the more articles I read by the religious right about it. They’re fuming.

    I’ve heard a lot of bad things about this movie, but I can’t believe that one of my favorite directors would have botched it that badly…

    “Nah, Orlando Bloom is definitely an agnostic in the movie. He claims to have been abandoned by God, and he leads not for the cross, but for the people living in Jerusalem.”

    How can he be an agnostic if he believes God has abandoned him. Agnostics suspend judgement on whether there is a God or not. If Bloom believes God has abandoned him then he isn’t an agnostic.

    He wasn’t in Blackhawk Down very long due to his character getting a Neck injury. If you wanna watch somehing really moving, I would recommend “Going Upriver: The Long War of John F. Kerry”. Just check it out

    I loved Kingdom of Heaven! He didn’t have a sword in Black Hawk Down, Wilde, or his movie “HAVEN” (isn’t out yet) or elizabeth town (in about 1/3 of a year)

    KoH was definately his best movie so far (acting wise)
