Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People are complicated. Love is not.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Let there be snark.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

White supremacy is terrorism.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Let’s finish the job.

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

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

All Hail Lance

Looks like Mr. America has done it again:

As if Lance Armstrong had anything left to prove, as if his crowning achievement really needed an emphatic stamp, cycling’s greatest champion gave his best performance Saturday — claiming the stage win he lacked and all but guaranteeing a seventh consecutive Tour de France victory.

Armstrong swept away any notion that this Tour would be somehow incomplete without winning a stage, pouring on speed at the end of Saturday’s time trial to round out his unparalleled career. Unlike his previous six winning Tours, the American had not won an individual stage — until Saturday’s 20th.

He beat stage runner-up Jan Ullrich by 23 seconds and extended his already comfortable overall race lead to 4:40 over Ivan Basso of Italy, setting him up for a victory ride on the last leg into Paris on Sunday, when the 33-year-old will retire.

Amazing.

    This is a red letter day. Sojourner, Geek, Esq. and I are agreeing wholeheartedly on something. That time trial today was unbelievable.

    And I am going to enjoy the trip up the CE on live tv tomorrow morning. I hope you all are too!!!!

    What a feat. History is being made. I’m pretty sure it is not going to happen again.

    Lance is an inspiration. It’s a joy to watch a professional among professionals. I have no doubt that he’ll do as much for his two causes, cancer research and cycling in America, as he did for the Tour.

    To add, if the Tour gave an award for the most completely insane, Alexandre Vinokourov would win hands down.
