Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

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

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

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

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

“Alexa, change the president.”

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

We will not go back.

“woke” is the new caravan.

WVU Upset

And yet another reason for my surly mood, beyond the diet and the denial of my nightly glass of wine:

West Virginia’s ownership of the nation’s longest winning streak was short-lived.

Mark Patton had 16 points and 10 rebounds as Marshall posted a 58-52 victory over West Virginia (No. 13 ESPN/USA Today, No. 9 AP) on Wednesday night, ending the Mountaineers’ winning streak at 12 games.

Center Kevin Pittsnogle had guaranteed a win for West Virginia (14-4), but the Mountaineers were held to a season low for points and fell to their cross-state rival for the second straight year, the first time that’s happened since 1981-82.

Inexcusable.

    If you were a South Beach diet kind of guy, you could have that nightly glass and regain your manly figure at the same time.

    From the highlights, it looked like Marshall didn’t shoot so hot either, despite the win. John, any diet which has a person uncomfortable and grumpy is not going to be a successful diet. Something is definitely not right if you’re feeling so hungry and grumpy. Those are the kind of diets where you suffer, then finally break down and eat a large amount of junk food and/or sweets then feel guilty afterward.

    Start a modest exercise program which includes strength training 2 or 3 times/wk emphasis on free weights, and some sort of aerobic activity that you enjoy.. key words being modest and enjoy. Assuming you still don’t drive, see if you can access exercise facilities at the univ., because if it’s not easy and convenient to work out, you won’t do it consistently. Try and eat several smaller meals (but not too small) a day which focus on meat and vegetables, minimizing but not eliminating starches like rice, bread/cereal and potatoes. Eat heavier during the day, and light in the evening. If you feel hungry at night, eat some hot beef or chicken vegetable soup.. it’ll fill you up with very few calories. If you’re hungry, eat. Thank me later

    I wouldn’t worry about it too much, John. Strange things happen in crosstown/cross-state rivalries.
