Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Come on, man.

This really is a full service blog.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

People are weird.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

This is a Shame

And all of the Colt’s success now seems meaningless to Tony Dungy:

James Dungy, the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, was found dead in a Tampa-area apartment, police said Thursday.

No foul play is suspected, but a cause of death won’t be announced pending an autopsy, said Vida Morgan, a secretary in the Hillsborough County sheriff’s office.

The worst nightmare for a parent.

*** Update ***

A nice piece about Tony Dungy, who really is a class act.

    I’m a Bucs fan. This is a tragic day for Dungy, who has to be the classiest guy in the NFL over the past ten years, and for his family.

    This was a guy who came in and turned around perhaps the most hapless sports franchise ever (Bucs) and turned it into a defensive dynamo. He also staffed the team with players who showed not only on-field talent but off-field class (guys like Dunn, Brooks, Lynch… Dungy made community support a major theme for the team to follow through on).

    All you hear about Dungy’s style is that he stays calm, composed, never yells, barely lectures. He doesn’t dominate by attitude and brashness like most coaches, but by confidence and willingness.

    I know Dungy and his family are going to be facing the roughest weekend of their lives, and at the worst possible time of year (Christmas/New Years).

    We need to petition the NFL to make gestures, like letting the Colts wear black armbands for the upcoming game, and a moment of silence at the game too. I’m petitioning the Bucs to do something as well.

    WTF, that’s is awful. Dungy is a classy guy and, seemingly, a good man. Of course, I wouldn’t wish that on any parent.

    That’s terrible. I’ve always liked Dungy — he seems like a decent, classy man. It’s so sad to hear about something like this happening to him.

    There could be no possible worst time, as if there is ever a time to lose a child. With Christmas ahead and a great season behind him, this is just beyond horrible.

    Holy crap. What an awful, horrible thing to have happen. I can’t even imagine losing one of my children. It makes my chest tighten up just thinking about it.

    My prayers go out to him and his family.

    Unbearable.

    Now that I have a child, I cannot imagine life without him. Parents are not supposed to outlive their children.

    My heart and my prayers are with Tony and his family.

    Early reports indicated that it was a probable suicide, though those have since been withdrawn.

    A damn shame, regardless.

    The worse thing that can possibly happen is seeing your child die at such a young age. While I have seen it happen to many a parent in the past, I don’t think I could personally handle it myself too good.
    My prayers and special thoughts are in full gear for the Dungy family. We must all learn to recognize the symptoms of depression in each other before depression gets a death grip on someone we love or know.

    Are we all missing something here?? Yes it is a tradgedy but lets not grandstand this like the family is doing by having TWO sermons/funeral services on the same night! This was a suicide! Keep it private and simple! This young man was troubled…….into Malcom X, Black Power, and his ‘hero’ was the DC sniper!!!! Yet he had plenty of gall to chase white women! Now I ask you……..what is someone important had a son that was a member or was an Arynation Nations wanna-be?? There would be hells-a-poppin over that! Let us wake up! No parents around and into that kinda crap? No wonder………

    Sympathies to the Dungy Family. Now lets reflect upon how to keep this from happening to one we know. First signs of gang affiliation are a red flag. First signs of hero’s that are murderers, theives, extreme radicals, ect., are another definate red flag.
    Keep watch on our children and spend time with them. Mr C.

    This kid turned out crazier than a sprayed roach! I feel for his family but the path he chose ultimately led him to his death. Lets move on and don’t dwell on the bad things in life. JH
