Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

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

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

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

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

When I was faster i was always behind.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

We still have time to mess this up!

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.

    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.

    Easy. Watch.

    “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.
