Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The willow is too close to the house.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

The revolution will be supervised.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

This chaos was totally avoidable.

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

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

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

I don’t know what I have, but I am sick as a dog. I have the sweats and feel awful. Nothing worse than feeling like crap in the summer. I think this is the first time I have been sick since I quit smoking on NYE.

    There’s a stomach bug going around, at least in my area of NoVA, maybe it decided to slum it in WV.

    Kudos on the no smoking. Been doing the “I’m quitting”/”Just one more” thing for the last 6 months. What’s your secret? Pure willpower or device?

    Sick in the summer does eat it. I had strep mid-August a few years back and about lost all sanity. 102 fever when its 95 out will do that.

    I’d say list symptoms for a blog diagnosis, but that might be percieved as “Fristian”. Better to give a doctor friend a call.

    Oh that sucks. (I just got over a good late-fall-style ailment myself.) Hope you feel better soon.

    Clever- I would rather not list the symptoms. Suffice it to say, Decided fencesitter might be on to something.

    Understandable. Was more of a joke than a true suggestion.

    Get well.

    Ditto. We lost a couple people at work to a bug that’s been working its way around the Houston area. Get well soon, bud.

    “That almost made me throw up.”

    Do you mean the thought of having one or that you actually tried it. sheesh, I was only kidding.
