Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Books are my comfort food!

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

“But what about the lurkers?”

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

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

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

    I thought Brady was supposed to be hot, but my understanding of this stops at the “Geroge Clooney is better-looking than Danny Devito” level.

    Brady’s last two girlfriends have been hot. So is the new First Lady of France.

    When did professional athletes get younger than I am? That sucks. Anyway, Eli Manning is not hot, he’s plain as a slice of bread.

    Football is not really worthy of a gay perspective. Yeah, the 2 QBs are hot. Haven’t got a good look at the kickers, yet. But usually that’s about all that potentially interests me. Is there anything uglier than a Nose Tackle? Even Tight Ends are usually gigantic beefy beasts that would be totally uninteresting without a big…

    Let’s bring back the gay perspective for the College World Series. Or Olympic swimming.

    Do you remember the Simpsons when Lisa looks up football in the card catalog at the library? Hehe.

    Silly Canuck. The guys in white & red are the Giants. Their QB is Eli. E. Manning who is less attractive than just almost barely passable brother P. Manning.

    Brady would be teh hot if I weren’t sick of looking at him. Can we pay Giselle to lock him up for a few months?

    Or Men’s Gymnastics at any level.

    Or swimming, or diving, or well, anything.

    Yuck. Can’t you go back to blogging about how you got a new tv or are having trouble with a router or remote control or asking why your digital clock is blinking 12:00?

    Why would anyone care who you think is “hot?” Seriously, upgrade your material or get lost. Or both.

    Game’s been pretty engrossing despite the low score. Commercials really have sucked. But I only half pay attention to them because I really expect them to now.

    Yeah! What the fuck’s up with these shitty commercials? They’re paying god knows how much for each one and they REALLY suck this year. I could care less about the game but I watch the commercials.

    I am disappointed. Really.

    Conservatives have finally managed to take over the media.

    Which reminds me of a limerick I wrote when the Cons were having apoplexy over vibrating condoms (ahem):

    There once was a man named Aquinas,
    Who felt like a slave to his penis.
    And so out of spite,
    He said “Fun sex ain’t right!”
    So there’ll be no vibration between us.

    Eww.. just goes to prove that no matter how butt ugly someone is, there’s someone else out there that’ll find em attractive.

    Wait, Mike, do you mean the gay perspective, or the embarassingly stereotypical “ain’t-I-outrageous-and-if-you-can’t-stand-me-you’re-a-bigot-because-I’m-gay” perspective?

    ZuZu,

    Kittens aren’t nearly as fun playing unless you’re sleeping and your bare feet are hanging out of the blankets looks like something that must be killed by the kitty immediately. LOL!

    First of all – Tom Petty was duuuullllllll. I don’t even remember who played last year, but I will never forget Prince in the rain….

    As for the ads, the baby on e-trade is the only one that got close to getting my attention.

    I think Teddy Bruschi is cute.

    Looks like Giants win 17 to 14. Still 30 seconds left with patriots back at their 25.

    Holy Fuck. My boss is going to shit bricks and skull fuck kittens.

    It becomes a serious issue when he shits kittens. Just so you know.

    Okay the Bridgestone commercial with Richard Simmons was for Mike.

    LOL, that’s the one where the driver safely swerves to miss the deer and Alice Cooper, but speeds up towards Richard Simmons? My favorite commercial of the night.

    Ummm, totally female opinion here, but I think Manning is kinda cute. Of course, with me being almost old enough to be his mother, I think most young men are “cute” nowadays. ::sigh:: Sean Connery is ‘teh hot’.

    Oh come on, the Clydesdale with his dalmation personal trainer was clever. Other than that and the Audi? commercials, this lot was pretty dull.

    Poor Tom Brady, what’s next, the Elder Manning gets drafted for the Chargers and beats him in ’09? The mysterious Manning “X” in ’10?

    Heavens to Betsy, it’s nice watching that sulky little punk get his ass handed to him.

    That’s a strange comment for a gay themed thread.

    Or maybe not.

    Why do so many people buy into the whole Super Bowl commercial hype? These are commercials people! Good god, don’t let yourselves be manipulated.

    See, gay men don’t care about sports, only about sexy hot men! That’s the GAY perspective!

    Thanks Michael D! Got any more internalized stereotypes to share with us?
