Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Come on, man.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

The National Guard is not Batman.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

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

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Go Steelers! Beat the Ravens!

Tim is actually at the game with a camera, so hopefully we will have some pictures tomorrow.

*** Update ***

10-10 at the half. I think the reason so many terrible towels are flying is a commentary on the Steelers play, whch has been less than perfect.

*** Update ***

Thank God. The call from the governor came through in time.

And that is how this game really felt- a last minute stay of execution. Steelers win a squeaker, 20-19.

    With both Lewis and Reed out we better handle these guys easy… I hate the Ravens and relish the chance to kick them while they are down.

    I need to find another team to back. Mine (the Vikings)is self-destructing so fast, I doubt they will finish out the year.

    Hrmmm . . . can a team become so bad that they cease to exist, leaving the NFL with 35 teams?

    Nawww, the Bengals are still around.
