Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

No one could have predicted…

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

Let there be snark.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

    What. the. _hell_ is up with those skaters?

    I feel like I’m watching some Looney Tunes on Ice watching those fools.

    And what is it about people that a distraction has to be added in just to watch some Yo-Yo play some classical music? It’s not enough to watch the dude wrestle some awesome music out of that instrument? You have to put some schmucks in costume, too?

    /don’t mine me I’m caffenated, I’m without sleep.

    Thanks to Heir WebFilter, this page is nothing but one large white splotch interspersed with random rantings.

    OT, (since this *is* an open thread), but if you’re interested in somebody talking intelligently about misogyny and sexism — and, yes, it is related to the Clinton campaign — look here.

    And, um, Tim? I know it’s heresy around here, but I rather liked the interpretive ice dance to the Bach. I’ve never seen anyone treat that particular piece for unaccompanied cello as foreplay. (Yes, of course, all music from that era can have that interpretation, given its formal structure; it’s just that Bach doesn’t ever actually *get* that treatment.)

    So do I. In my opinion the elegant, understated work complements Ma’s meditative Bach interpretation quite well.

    I’m with the others — everytime they show the ice dancing, I get frustrated, because I’m perfectly content watching Ma work his magic. The cello is so difficult to play well, that it’s mesmerizing to watch someone who has completely mastered it.

    Plus it really makes me want to go practice my violin, which has been sorely neglected as of late.

    I like it. I thought the first video worked very well. The third wasn’t as good, but it wasn’t trying very hard, either.

    Should go to iTunes to find some Ma.

    Never been a classical fan, although I can appreciate Ma. Too stuffy for me, gimme three chords, that all I need.
