Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Human rights are not a matter of opinion!

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

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

The willow is too close to the house.

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

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

In after Baud. Damn.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

This blog will pay for itself.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Last Attempt

Ok- last call for color schemes and a possible new banner for a site re-design. I would like to use the following colors- Navy blue, pearl white background for text (maybe a light cream color), maybe some silver trim, and maybe some red- but tastefully done. I don’t want the banner to look like something made by the Montana militia.

I really need a new professional look that will simplify the banner I have now and will help to just ‘clean up’ what we have going now. If you are so inclined, please whip something up. I have the slogan I want to use, so if you are going to do something, e-mail me and I will tell you what it is.

Barring that, I am going to just pay for someone to do it, and will have to put it off a few months. Previous fund-raising attempts have been almost fruitless ($70.00), but if you are so inclined, hit the paypal icon to the right or buy an ad.

    Wow! $70.00!

    PayPal put $.18 into my account – and then took it out again, I think – just to get us started, and there’s been no activity since. I have a son with the genius to do a site like mine; he can be bought more cheaply than just about anyone else, I’d guess, although he would have the last word.

    You know where to find me if you are interested.

    I like the silver trim idea. Sounds spiffy. Obviously, I will not be any help with the technical side. Would an electric blue instead of red look good? I like electric blue. :)

    Sounds great! My only request is please do not use white letters on a dark background. Sullivan’s blog hurts my eyes.

    Thank you,

    Nancy

    Ditto. Hate white letters on dark backgrounds. Sullivan’s blog just hurts, period. :)

    I’m new around here, but I third the vote against white letters on a dark background, though a subtle shade of gray on black *sometimes* works.

    Not related to colors (since my own sites tend to revolve around the same 4 colors: black, gray, purple and green), but if you wanted to do away with the fixed width thing while you’re redesigning, that’d be ducky.

    Also, you might find this amusing: For some reason, your site triggers the Stop Sign of Doom at my office. I can’t figure out why – I read many blogs at work, including Wonkette, which is notoriously vulgar.

    Good call… Looks spiffy to me…
