Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

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

“Alexa, change the president.”

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

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

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

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

Giving up is unforgivable.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

This is Going to be so AWESOME

The actual author of Palin’s new wingnut buckraker:

Sarah Palin’s most consequential choice since leaving the Alaska governor’s mansion may be her co-author – a staunch conservative, devoted evangelical Christian, and intensely partisan Republican from far, far outside the Beltway.

Lynn Vincent spent the summer working with Palin on a closely-guarded 400 page memoir, “Going Rogue: An American Life.” The book is due out from HarperCollins Nov. 17 – but it shot to the top of the Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble bestseller lists Wednesday as word of its publication spread.

Vincent’s past projects include co-writing the memoir of General William Boykin, who blasted the media and President George W. Bush alike for ending his career over his casting the war on terror in overtly religious terms. Her most political book, “Donkey Cons,” describes the Democratic Party since its inception as “pro-gangster” and the “party of treason and subversion.” Her work for World Magazine, where she was an editor, includes a description of President Barack Obama as the “minority survivor” of the “black genocide” – that is, abortion.

This is going to be funny as hell. I can’t wait to check this out of the library- because I’ll be damned if I give the Wasilla Wingnut a penny.

I’m personally looking forward to the chapter on how to cook meth in a snowstorm using only a Bowie knife, a King James Bible, and a moose antler. Should be awesome.

Sorry for stepping on the open thread, but I agree 100%:

I think our society has become a bit hysterical about teen sexuality, and that age limits and punishments for statutory rape have, in some states, started to get a bit exteme even if such relationships are inappropriate.

But the undisputed facts of this case are that she was given booze and drugs and raped. There may be other procedural legal issues as I said, but I really can’t believe people are minimizing what happened. What is wrong with these people?

I was talking to my mom and dad this morning, and we don’t agree on damned near anything regarding politics anymore (mom seems to think that Bob Dole is still what most Republicans are like), and told them I can not believe everyone apologizing for Polanski. They couldn’t either, and it really is kind of insane.

One of you all remarked in the comments the other day that Polanski is the upper-class OJ Simpson. I think that makes sense.

Cat Food Open Thread

Long day.

Question for you all. I’m thinking about moving Tunch to all wet food rather than the kibble, because even though we have been dieting for a year we have only lost 3/4 of a lb. Many of you said your cats were much leaner and more active on an all wet diet, so I think I might try it.

Today, I gave Tunch his morning kibble and then for dinner I gave him some wet food. I gave him Before Grain 100% salmon, and he loved it. I thought he was going to choke to death because I have never heard him purr that loudly while eating, and afterward I got a rare look that didn’t seemed like he was sizing me up for a casket. I don’t want to go overboard, but he almost looked happy.

Questions:

1.) Is Before Grain a solid choice?

2.) If so, how much should I give him? A can a day?

3.) How will this affect his stool?

4.) What about his teeth? Isn’t one benefit of kibble that it helps with their teeth?
