Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

“But what about the lurkers?”

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

He really is that stupid.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

    Excellent. My beau, ablogymously referred to as Doc M, got the Doc part of his name at Stanford. We were out on the streets of Pasadena CA (taking a sick powerbook to the Apple Store for consultation — fitting, in light of your Macish posts). We saw many a person clad in UCLA-wear, and I saw some bearing Notre Dame upon their clothing. Aah, I astutely reasoned. Must be a game today at the Rose Bowl. Doc M was wearing an old Stanford tee shirt, and as we made our way to the Apple store, someone said to him, “Good luck tonight” or some such. We were more concerned about bad RAM sockets than what was happening with Stanford, but your post makes it all clear.

    As a Cal alum, I hate Stanford with a passion. But not nearly as much as I hate the smug bastards at USC. So as much as I hate to say this, I think a “GO TREES” chant is in order.

    Un. Fucking. Believable.

    4th and a cab ride. TD. One foot. One hand snatch catch. FORTY FRIGGIN POINT DOGS.

    Bigger than UM-Appy. Bigger than Louis-Syracuse. With a backup QB, ON THE FUCKING ROAD. Hyperbole doesn’t do it justice.

    Simply unfathomable.

    Equal Opportunity Cynic

    Southern California is an odd bird in the college football world. They cheat enough to be an SEC school, but because of geography they’re in a league of schools that AFAICT more or less try to be colleges with football teams attached instead of vice versa.

    At any rate, since Vanderbilt stank it up yesterday I’m happy to see Rice, Northwestern and Stanford all win in the same week. I guess I should count BC too but that’s not a surprise. I can’t bring myself to count Notre Dame in all that.
