Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Spilling the end game before they can coat it in frankl luntz-approved dogwhistles.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Let there be snark.

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

I really should read my own blog.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

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

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Second rate reporter says what?

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

    How they are just silent about it.

    Shorter Paul L: Please ignore that my leader is a the biggest fucking idiot in American History.

    Barry Bonds tested…wait for it…wait for it…POSITIVE for banned amphetimines.

    Yet, it gets better. Claimed he got them from Mark Sweeney, so it’s ALL his fault. Gets even better. Claims he “took them” (read: five-fingered) from Sweeney’s locker.

    So, in summation: he’s now busted for a second (third? Does the Cream and Clear count as 2?) illegal substance, and his response is that he STOLE THEM from a teammate, not knowing what they were, but ate them anyways.

    A drugged-out misdemeanor thief and serial liar. Giant fans, EXPLAIN THIS.

    I have no speculation about Paul L’s motivations in posting that story but I think the Duke lacrosse guys got shafted big time. All that national coverage more or less linking them irrecovably with one of the most horrible crimes one can commit. And then it turns out that they actually didn’t do anything, and we hear very little.

    The Pirate,

    At this point, I have no sympathy for anyone blabbing about that idiotic debacle, really–people on both sides of that debate have been prejudging, rampantly speculating, and mainly wasting everyone’s time from the beginning, much like they do for any other hyped-up case in the media spotlight since the freaking O.J. Simpson trial. My advice to them: STFU and just wait for justice to run its course. Not that they will, or anything, mind you…

    Dan Patrick had the best line about that this morning, something along the lines of:

    “The most surprising thing about this story is Bonds acknowledging he had teammates.”

    Am I the only MLS (Chicago Fire season tickets) fan here? (if you claim to be an EPL “fan” than you will need to have seen at least 5 matches since Boxing Day to qualify – no posers)

    This is huge news.

    Btw, ESPN will be televising the draft for the first time tomorrow at 12p est.

    Rusty, I disagree, to a degree. Beckham at this point is always going to seem disappointing, because his talents (range of passing, free/corner kicks, work rate) A) don’t stand out to a casual fan and B) might be lost in the hurly-burly of MLS, depending on who is on the end of those passes.

    (I qualify, easily, BTW)

    I’m going to go out on a (not so shaky at all) limb and say yes. If it’s women’s soccer, and they play in white sports bras, count me in. Otherwise, wake me up for the 2010 WC.

    Hey Paul L, aren’t there non-embryonic stem cell studies you should be researching that you can flaunt at us instead? I thought dead blastolysts were a higher priority than drunken frat boys.

    But I’m with you in spirit Paul L. There’s no one I feel more sorry for than rich white kids getting convicted of raping the stripper they hired. Truly, morality in this country is dead. I blame Democrats and black people.

    I don’t. His contract is up, he hasn’t signed his one-year deal yet. Get rid of his ass. Let him go DH for some American League team, make his record, and fuck off. We got ourselves a new Barry – Zito, that is. Bonds has become the dugout poison that Jeff Kent was.

    The only bummer I can think of is that if they jettison Barry, they might decide to forego the (admittedly failed) “veterans” strategy and jettison all their new free agents, and I’d really like for Rich Aurilia to be a Giant again.

    His contract is up, he hasn’t signed his one-year deal yet.

    uh…what??

    From mlb.com:

    The deal, pending Bonds passing the requisite physical, is believed to be one year for $16 million, and guarantees that Bonds will continue his pursuit of Hank Aaron’s Major League all-time home run record in his familiar No. 25 San Francisco uniform.

    Perhaps you’re praying he’ll fail this physical…which, with his ‘roid-addled body, is perhaps possible.

    I wonder how much coverage this story will get.

    None, unless it was an aspirin factory and Clinton was the President.

    The story about Somalia (We got him! I think we got him! Nope, we didn’t get him) makes me wonder:

    How easy is it to get the US to fire a missle? It seems that if you lived in certain sections of the world you could get rid of annoying neighbors, in-laws, the cute girl who won’t give you the time of day etc, just by tipping off the right people.

    What happened to RedState? I went out to check on what they said about Shrub’s big speech last night but the page keeps coming up blank? Maybe they all fell into deep depression after watching his performance…. heh heh heh
