Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

Let there be snark.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

American history and black history cannot be separated.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

Republicans in disarray!

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Not all heroes wear capes.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

This really is a full service blog.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

The Steelers History

Sorry for the light posting, but what with the benadryl and all, I am lacking energy. At any rate, if you are a Steelers fan (and I say if, even though for me it is inconceivable that anyone root for another team), you have got to get the Pittsburgh Steelers: The Complete History. I just finished the glory days of the 70’s, and still have the 80’s to date to watch.

Truly excellent DVD. Oh, and GO STEELERS!

*** Update ***

Funny how the memories came flashing back when watching from 1979 to present ( I was 9 when we beat the Rams, but I still remember watching it with my folks). But the memories- I forgot how amazing Louis Lipps was, how mean Greg Lloyd, how FAST Kordell Stweart was, how dominating Bettis was in his prime (and still can be), how devastating it was when watch Levon Kirkland hit someone, how it felt like the world had ended when Rod tore his ACL, how much 3 more yards can be, and so on.

    Inconceivable? Really? Hey John, you find out what kind of bug it was?

    I dunno how much of the 1980s I could watch. I mean, I don’t need to relive Mark Malone throwing two interceptions to one-armed Clay Matthews; it sucked enough the first time. And the less said about the Cliff Stoudt era the better.

    SeesThroughIt,

    I would watch the ’80s just for the Louis Lipps highlights alone.

    Just fast forward through Mark Malone so you can get to the Bubby Brister era – which also hails the introduction of a young Rod Woodson to the secondary.

    /I am so buying this DVD – thanks John.

    I can’t imagine a meaner linebacker than Lloyd. I loved watching him play.

    They should have a whole DVD devoted to Jack Lambert.

    As a Dolphins fan it pains me to say this but….Lloyd may be my favorite player of all time. It’s not only how mean and good he was, but it was his whole attitude and persona and the way he made everyone else on those teams play better, just by his presence.

    Sorry, Dan. You’re still a close second.
