Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Text STOP to opt out of updates on war plans.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

This really is a full service blog.

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Idiot:

According to the Associated Press, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed was cited by Pittsburgh police for public intoxication and disorderly conduct outside a bar Sunday night.

The episode occurred around 9 p.m., the AP reported, outside a bar a few blocks from Heinz Field, where Reed kicked two field goals as the Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns earlier Sunday.

Can’t we just put James Harrison in charge of driving Reed home from games?

    @jeffreyw: Never, if I have anything to say about it. Which, of course, I don’t.

    Cole, sorry about your kicker, but I am glad this was merely sports-related. I can’t take any more political asshattery today (and it’s not even noon yet) or heartbreaking animal cruelty, either.

    Sorry, Cole. I’m not a football person, but it does cause no end of annoyance for anyone when a talented person acts like an idjit.

    OT: Washington Post executive editor Marcus Brauchli is having an online chat. Originally, the chat was to be for any and all questions about The Post, but was changed to be solely about the WaPo redesign. I’m sure that has nothing to do with Brauchli’s involvement in the pay-to-play salon scheme exposed by the NYT over the weekend.

    Public intoxication is a pretty crap charge, IMO, given that there are literally thousands of places in public where one can get intoxicated while simultaneously paying the state a tax for the privilege of doing so.

    @The Moar You Know:

    Hah!

    I just wanted to put Reed’s conduct into some perspective. Acting like an ass whilst intoxicated is bad mojo, sure. But, someone had to envision, plan, hire talent, produce and distribute that vile, brain corroding swill…

    Which is the greater offense to public taste, really?

    Here’s more. Hell, just google “Jeff Reed drunk pictures” and look at all the hits….from all the different dates and episodes.

    “”This is how I feel — if you want to see James Harrison, invite me when you aren’t drunk off your ass. As far as I’m concerned, he [Reed] would’ve gotten drunk with Cleveland if they had won,” said Harrison.”

    OK, so it’s slightly altered…

    Somewhat on-topic: Crack NYT research team assures us precisely that Sanchez never played a college game where the temperature was below 55 degrees.

    @Rob in Denver: From your link, I see this:

    Don’t forget that Pittsburgh is also plagued with a ‘bag mayor that is 27 years old. Luke Ravenstahl aka Luke Ravensbag.

    Is this true? A mayor of a major metro thats 27 years old?

    @Dracula:

    Yes, I believe Luke Ravenstahl is all of 29 years old. He definitely can be a douche. But he got into office when Bob O’Connor died, totally a victim of circumstance. And he’ll stay when the election is done in a few weeks. Mainly because Pittsburgh is a Dem town, no Republicans even had the cojones to run against him, and the guys who ARE running against him aren’t anywhere near as experienced as he is. Which tells you something. When Luke Ravenstahl is the most experienced and tested candidate, the slate for that race is pretty pitiful.

    I’m really surprised he’s still on the team. The Steelers don’t usually put up with that kind of behavior very long. He’d better not miss too many fgs.

    @tamied:

    You’re right in that Steeler ownership is not pleased with this type of behavior. Rumor has been that Reed has been on the Rooney shit list for a while. Kickers were quietly tried out to replace him in the last few years.

    But Heinz Field is a notoriously difficult place for kickers. And Jeff Reid is almost perfect at Heinz Field. So he stays for now.

    Not clear what the problem is here. Your team won and you’ve got an ass-kicking kicker. I wish the Jets had those kinda problems. Wanna swap? I’d gladly like to see, say, Sanchez drunkenly threaten a cop outside of a NJ bar if it meant he wouldn’t throw five goddamn interceptions.

    @Kevin K.: Tell that to a Tigers fan after it was revealed that Cabrera spent nights drinking during the critical stretch at the end of the season where they failed miserably to close out the Twins. One doesn’t have to be a moralizing prohibitionist to be annoyed at professionals acting unprofessionally.

    The simple solution to Reed’s partying problems is to have Santonio Holmes drive him home after the game.
