Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

This fight is for everything.

One way or another, he’s a liar.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

People are complicated. Love is not.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

When we show up, we win.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

    Right now, the hamburgers and hotdogs are on the grill, fresh potato salad is made and the beer is cold.

    It’s all I can do to appreciate that.

    Is that Andrew Sullivan in the cartoon? It looks like him, but without the Burke and the Oakshotte.

    I laughed a little too hard at this, because I hate country music as a genre, but I love Johnny Cash and Tammy Wynette. How can you listen Wynette sing “D-I-V-O-R-C-E” and not get weepy?

    I get why this would be put in the “open thread” category.
    But I am still scratching my nuts over why it is in “humor.”

    Amy’s making something called a peanut butter cake. As soon as it’s out of the oven, we’re going for a walk in the park so we can burn enough calories to be able to eat a piece of it.

    “And much of modern country music sounds very much like top-40 pop.”

    Most of my country music listening friends hate it when I say that.

    It was when I started drinking a lot of wine that I learned to like things that I don’t like.

    Once in a while I’d run into something I didn’t like, or outright hated, but was really interesting anyway. There’s sometimes so much interesting stuff going on in a wine that you kind of forget that you don’t like it.

    Same thing with beer. There’s a lot of exciting brewing going on, but it seems like the biggest thing happening among American brewers and drinkers is IPAs and double-IPAs. These hops bombs are very much the thing in the US. I hate them, but they’re really interesting anyway. It’s like overhearing a heated argument in a foreign language–you know there’s a lot going on, and it’s important to somebody, but that somebody sure ain’t you.

    Way I like to put it is: “I ain’t gonna turn up my nose at a wine just because I don’t like it.”

    I can’t help but be fascinated and impressed at the work the ROV operators are doing down there. They’re currently cutting through some of the support pipes in the riser package.

    Too bad they can’t bother to show us this kind of work on productive activities. The public might have a greater appreciation for things.

    There’s one ROV holding onto the pipe being cut through with about an 18″ diamond saw blade on another arm. A 2nd ROV has a strap around the pipe to pull it away when its cut loose. A few minutes ago, the 2nd ROV was tightening a nut on the first ROVs saw blade.

    Word. I was raised on Country. I was young and not really in control of what I listened to, and mom and dad liked Merle Haggard and George Jones and Tammy Wynette. You know, that lot.

    I don’t hear much country today, but when I do, it sounds just like what we called Top 40 when I was younger. (I have no idea what Top 40 sounds like today.) Seems like any old pop musician with a twang and a cowboy hat can call hisself Country.

    @ricky: I think it’s a Hoveround.

    and the country I have “get” to listen to when the gf drives is basically bland, generic pop music, so yeah, top-40.

    I do like alt-country, no depression, americana, rockabilly or whatever is today’s word for that genre, although it may be kind of dying

    @Bill Murray:

    Hoveround:

    “9 out of 10 Hoveround owners got their Power Chair at little or no cost. Medicare paid most of the wheelchair expense for them.* ”

    “*Insurance coverage depends on medical necessity as determined by insurer. Valid doctor’s prescription required.Licensed in the state of Illinois.”

    You gotta imagine yourself old enough to not be able to read that last paragraph. It’s real tiny at their website. Call it alt-wheelchair. It’s still a scooter in my book.

    The people who were involved in the production of “honky tonk badonkadonk” and all similar music can kill themselves and the world will be a better place for it.
