Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

So very ready.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Let me file that under fuck it.

    We need an I/P flame war to put this nasty health care shit behind us and lighten up the mood.

    @General Winfield Stuck: Charlie disappeared for a while.. how scary. Well I’m glad he’s back

    Now since this appears to be a real OT compared to the last open thread that was about Chris and Darcy, I’m going to ask a question about what type of alcohol do you add to egg nog and what type of alcohol do you add to hot apple cider. Hopefully it’s the same.

    Clown shoes:

    A self-styled Nevada codebreaker convinced the CIA he could decode secret terrorist targeting information sent through Al Jazeera broadcasts, prompting the Bush White House to raise the terror alert level to Orange (high) in December 2003, with Tom Ridge warning of “near-term attacks that could either rival or exceed what we experience on September 11,” according to a new report in Playboy.

    Maybe clown shoes is being too nice.

    @WaterGirl: A Schnucks bag in the background! I had forgotten their existence since my time in Hohumbia (yes, j school).

    I’m sorry I’m distracted by paper bags. I’m truly sorry for your loss.

    Well, how is possible that a single ty-fighter could bring down the death star? It would be wrong not to speculate…

    It is after midnight and I am sitting up with a surly, teething 9-month-old. She is dying to mess with the keyboard, so here goes:

    I believe that is babyspeak for “OBAMA IS A LIAR HE SOLD US OUT!!!!!”

    @The Grand Panjandrum: My son was overseas at the time for his job. Obviously, I was panicked when he was flying home. He not only arrived home with wrapped xmas presents, the wrapped xmas presents contained wine, beer and chocolates. At that point I knew homeland security was bogus.

    Awww…poor Bean. Give her a smooch on those chubby cheeks for me.

    And that was a lovely message from her. I think she and BIRDZILLA would have a lot to talk about.

    @RedKitten: I would kiss her, but those cheeks have gotten all rashy and irritated today. :-(

    Poor Bean. Mr Jud was a bit sad that the nickname “Gummi Bear” no longer applies. On the bright side, she’ll totally be able to bite stuff really hard soon.

    ETA: just checked out your photostream. He’s so gorgeous and happy!

    @WaterGirl: My heart breaks for you, what a lovely animal Quiver was. I never thought I’d be a cat person either—til three of them marched in (several years apart) and took over. I’m especially empathetic because it won’t be long before I have to go through it again.

    And General, I’m glad I didn’t notice Charlie was missing before he returned, I get almost as upset about others’ animals as I do my own, and I’m too damned old for the stress.

    Happy Solstice everyone!

    Another quick 12 month trip around the tightening gyre. Will 2010 be known as the War Between teh Hippies? Will the center hold?

    @Watergirl: I am truly sorry to hear about Quiver. I’m a cat person through and through (have had 4 at a time, now have two) and know that I will always have them all my days. It’s like I totally “get” them (should that worry me?) and they get me. We have great love between us.

    It sucks to lose your kitty soulmate. Perhaps Quiver will send you one to pick up where he left off. My kitty soulmate did just that.

    Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakuh, Merry X-Mas, Happy Pagan New Year, whatevah…

    I am sooooooooo glad this year is almost over. I finally get to go back home to NOLA and get the hell outta Dallas for a while, and II”m officially on vay-kay next Monday. I’m counting down the ways.

    Anyway, I plan to completely forget about this healthcare bill, til next year. This healthcare bill has become like the abortion issue. Both sides have reasons why they are right, your either for it or against, for those who are truly in the middle, who is at least willing to see the good as well as acknowledge the bad, there is no use in arguing with people who refuse to even consider a middle way pro or con.

    BTW, still mad bout that Cowboys/Saints game. I can’t even watch the local news to see who’s been shot, without hearing ’bout it. Someone gonna have to tell me when it’s safe to come out again.

    @lamh31:

    Oh, I am jealous of your holiday plans. I get to go from a pseudo-city (Baton Rouge) to the absolute sticks (little town between Amarillo and Lubbock) on Wednesday.

    I love seeing the fam, especially my nephews, but I would love it if my parents would decide to retire somewhere that didn’t require an hour’s drive to go see a movie.

    This post makes me sound like I’m twenty-something, sad to say I’ve been making this journey (albeit from other places in the country) for twenty some odd years. There better be single malt scotch in my stocking. ;-)

    It looks like the ACORN “stings” and the SwiftHack have inspired pro-lifers to try their own hit job on Planned Parenthood by sending a pair of women in pretending to seek abortions. Endless wanking about the need for tougher anti-abortion laws will undoubtedly ensue.

    Gee, No Xmas pics yet?

    Thanks for reminding me, actually. I just put a few up 2 minutes ago.

    Things have been nutty with baking, cleaning, and other Christmas preparations. But we are planning on plunking a Santa hat on him and taking some more pics. Maybe I’ll get a chance tomorrow. :)

    I’m looking forward to a pleasant (and rare) evening at home. Just finished a good dinner, have been watching a bit of Montalbano on the DVR as an appetizer before the Redskins issue a beatdown to the Giants.

    Well, this is fun…. Giuliani’s not running for that NY Senate seat.

    It looks like I won’t have the Midtown Mussolini to kick around anymore…. Who, who I ask you, will have the political courage to throw the homeless in jail now?!

    A brilliant plan to stop Obamacare, from the RedState gang: Doctors must Go Galt!!

    According to surveys, around 60% of physicians support a national health insurance plan. So if they were gonna Go Galt for something..

    I’m so sorry. It does get easier, but you never will forget him. I still get teary-eyed sometimes about my Boris and he’s been gone for two years.

    @WaterGirl: I’m so sorry. He had a wonderful face.

    We lost our little Puffy this summer, and we still can’t open the freezer without feeling sad that he no longer appears.

    He had mad Ninja skills. If your hand took out vegetables; nothing. If your hand took out ice cream; he would materialize.

    Thanks to all who took the time to look at the photo link and write a note about my sweet boy. I miss him so much and it helped me to read every one of your comments.
