Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

In my day, never was longer.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Usually wrong but never in doubt

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

I was confident that someone would point it out and thought why not me.

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

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

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

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

When we show up, we win.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

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

Republicans don’t trust women.

Democrats are back in array!

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

    Stock market is plummeting, oil prices are going waaaay up, job security is a joke, wages have gone flat for everyone earning under $60,000 a year, real estate economy is so bad many realtors are quitting to go work at the local Publix, massive criminal misconduct in subprime mortgaging is getting uncovered on a daily basis, and oh yeah the GOP thinks this all can be solved by massive tax cuts.

    There some interesting stuff going on for the Dems. It seems that you can’t toss mud on Obama with out being considered a racist

    There is a lawsuit by a teachers union in Nevada to stop the casino caucuses. I think the caucus system is convoluted and sucks. It doesn’t allow for absentee ballots so the people serving in the military and others are excluded from voting.

    The Pats are two victories away from a perfect season. GO PATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It’s been over two days now and the Obamaniacs are still trying to convince me to ride the OMN Unity Pony.

    The Democrats are not “fracturing.” The Democrats are having a primary. Fracture is when you have large groups of people announcing that they won’t support the eventual nominee, or threatening third-party runs. As primaries go, this year is a pretty tame affair.

    Primaries don’t get a whole lot nicer than Obama-Clinton. On the GOP side, the rhetoric is a bit hotter and the supporters of their various candidates don’t like their second and third choices as much as most Democrats do, but even so all their chatter about staying home in November or refusing to support so-and-so is just empty bluster.

    They’re Republicans. They’re obedient sheep. Once there’s a nominee, they’ll all fall promptly in line. That’s what they do.

    John, you going to do a post on the whole Ron Paul/libertarian meltdown over the newsletters? (It’s a bit of a tempest in a teapot, since he came in behind Giuliani in New Hampshire, which effectively puts the kibbosh on any Presidental ambitions.)

    Note to the Paultards: running around posting “I don’t see anything wrong in what was in the newsletters!” is NOT going to help matters, ok?

    Where did you get that from? I have not seen any of that besides from the Paul supporters.

    I see a bit of it about Huckabee, both for and against.

    Also, go Pats. I’m not a Pats fan, but I’m a ‘72 Dolphins hater.

    Hey! I was in high school in Miami Beach in ’72, my family had season tickets, and I went to school most Mondays still hoarse from cheering on Griese/Morral, Kiick, Czonk, Buoniconti, Morris, and the rest of the guys on Sunday.

    Enough with the Dolphin Hate!

    What is it with that, anyway? What did they do that pissed off so many people?

    The Democrats are fracturing.

    Bob, you live in a place that is slowly but surely falling into the Pacific Ocean. I don’t even like to get out of the car to get a cup of coffee at the convenience store in Pacifica, for fear that a mudslide will sweep me into oblivion.

    I understand why you are always so excitable. But, calm down.

    “What did they do that pissed off so many people?”

    I’m from Chicago.

    In 1985 the Bears had a nearly perfect season. They lost only one game on their way to a record-setting Super Bowl victory over New England.

    The only game they lost was late in the season, to Miami.

    So there’s that.

    Also, I’m sick of the champagne stories every goddamn year.

    We’re sick of the 1972 Dolphins because they’re a bunch of grumpy old men.

    Larry Little is the worst offender. Sample quote: “If it happens, we will be 1A. They will be 1B,”.

    I’ll go a little easier on Mercury Morris, he’s funny, and an ex-drug addict, which explains statements like this: “if they go 19-0, they’re going to have to park behind us. Our vehicle is already there.”

    Sorry Gents, the 72 Dolphins played TWO teams with winning records in the regular season. A 14 game regular season. And both those teams went a whopping 8-6. Those Dolphins didn’t play another playoff team in the entire regular season, and none of the top 6.

    With last night’s win the Pats have now beaten 7 of the 11 other playoff teams. They are guaraneteed to play one of those 7 a second time. They’ve beaten 3 other Divisional Winners. They’ve beaten 3 of the top 5 teams in the conference, 6 of the top 10. They’re exactly at 17-0 now, with hopefully two more games to go.

    If they do that, and it’s still an if, who is “1B” again?

    Well, the Colts looked like they haven’t played in 3 weeks. If only there was some sort of match they could have use as practice to keep from being so rusty around 2 weeks ago.
