Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

We still have time to mess this up!

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

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

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Steelers Win

This was the sort of game that I describe as a race to see who loses first. The Steelers put in a valiant effort, converting 0 out of 8 third downs and racking up an embarrassing time-of-possession deficit, but Charlie Batch couldn’t compete with Green Bay’s inability to keep hold of the ball or avoid clutch penalties. Regarding defense, Green Bay doesn’t have Troy Polamalu and they can’t borrow him.

Inside sources tell me that Ben Roethlisberger has made impressive gains on his SOCOM3 high score. On the upside, odds are fairly good that Batch, Randle El or a trained penguin can beat the New Brownies next week.

    I am deeply offended by that penguins remark, we could at least take trained dolphins. I hope Ben plays so we can take his ass out again, but I would never root for someone to get injured.

    Anyway, our offense might stink but our defense is pretty good, I promise you that we’ll make a game out of it.

    Is that the problem with the Penguins? Have they been training to be the third string quarterback since Maddox had his meltdown?

    Or are you just trying to earn your conservatve bona fides by referring to that penguin movie.

    So, does anyone think that the Colts are going to win tonight?

    No. But then I’m biased.

    Not so fast on the Brownies. The mighty Stillers have managed to play down to the lowest levels of the league the past 2 weeks…. The hard-cores don’t think anyone on the team should wear the colors (maybe Troy). http://www.stillers.com/articles/1547.aspx

    For myself, I think not traveling or playing off a short week is the key, and getting that new quarterback back in the game. Give the points, whatever they may be.

    I get the impression that Big Ben will be working on his mad PS2 skillz until the Stillers lose another game; then they’ll need him. Otherwise, just rest big fella.

    Big Ben will probably heal and rest until it becomes clear that the Steelers have a must-win game.

    They can probably coast the rest of the year and get a first-round bye. Home field is probably out with Indianapolis going so well–even after they lose to N.E. tonight.

    Heck. We play so well on the road, who the heck wants home field advantage?
