Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

Fear and negativity are contagious, but so is courage!

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

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

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

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

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

    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?
