Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Infrastructure week. at last.

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

I was promised a recession.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

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

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

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

This really is a full service blog.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

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

Let there be snark.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

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.
