Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

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

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

How stupid are these people?

Usually wrong but never in doubt

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

I really should read my own blog.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

We are learning that “working class” means “white” for way too many people.

    DiMichelis gifted South Korea a goal just before the end of the half. 2-1 Argentina.

    That South Korean goal was the good example of Broadcaster’s Curse, though it was also an example of total complacency. Expect many Argentine players to have the Spanking Hand of God all over their asses during halftime.

    Well OK then. They guy who wanted lots of goals should be happy.

    Sort of amazing how quickly a team as talented as Argentina can turn things into an all out rout.

    Well, Argentina sure wiped out that +2 goal differential. Nigeria just needs a win against Greece and a tie against South Korea to advance.

    Higuain with the hat trick! Outstanding!!

    And yes, he does happen to be on my McDonald’s-FIFA fantasy team, thanks for asking. :-)

    Argentina’s defense may be a little suspect (DeMichelis, Gutierrez); arguably, the two best Argentine midfielders (Cambiasso, Zanetti) were not selected for the squad, BUT…any team featuring Lionel Messi must be regarded as a tournament favorite. OMG, what a sublime player!!! Higuian may have scored a hat trick, but to these eyes Messi was unquestionably the Man of the Match.

    @handsmile: Yes, just watching him control that ball and move it around the field is an example of the ideal soccer player. Not many of the other teams have had a player with that degree of skill.

    Whatever you do, Randinho, just dont forget the open thread for the US game tomorry. Get it up by 8am if possible. Lots to discuss ahead of time.

    Watching from South Korea that was pretty damn painful. however Korea’s offense still did OK when they could just get the damn ball out of their half of the field and they should do OK against Nigeria and if they can beat Nigeria (which is doable for them) they should advance. Group A is pretty weak so Korea might even get to top 8, but damn they’re not going to get any farther than that…
