Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

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

I really should read my own blog.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

The willow is too close to the house.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

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

This really is a full service blog.

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

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

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Petty moves from a petty man.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

    My cat is in the animal hospital. She’s been vomiting bile for days, won’t eat, and doesn’t appear to have a bowel obstruction. I adopted her from a shelter back in ’02. She was between six and eight then, so is between fourteen to sixteen now. The vet just told me that they are going to do an ultrasound, but she believes the cat likely has pancreatic cancer.

    I think I’m going to have to go to the hospital and put her down tonight. I know she’s had a long life and has been treated well for the last eight years. But I’m still in emotional turmoil. I really love this cat.

    Fuck.

    Didn’t have a chance to say this in your intro thread E.D., but thanks for posting and braving what will probably be some snark and commentary. But its all in good spirit – we can be snarky but we don’t want you gone. Unless you start letting BOB guest post when you are on vaca sully-style!

    I thought there was something wrong with the speakers on my laptop because I kept turning the volume up and couldn’t hear anything.

    Yeah, it’s sad and pretty and sleep inducing.

    Got anything with a beat and some RAWKIN’ guitars?

    @Punchy:

    But, see, they were defending real religions like Christianity and Judiasm, not these fakey scam “religions” like Islam and Hinduism that everyone knows the First Amendment doesn’t apply to. So therefore no hypocrisy at all, QED.

    Okay, on to fun stuff. I recently knuckled down and bought a Scooba (robot mopping machine from iRobot) and have been trying it out this week. Went through Hammacher Schlemmer since they offer a lifetime warranty well beyond iRobot’s one-year version.

    White tile floors in the kitchen are now actually white, and non-sticky, again. The first day I tried it I had it run 3 times in the kitchen and nook to get all the YUCK. The dirty water tank was a revelation – in a much-worse-than-expected way. We’ll run it every couple of days to maintain things. Just did today’s session and found the dirty tank water was much less, um, thick and zesty. WOOHOO! What’s nice is it always puts clean water on the floor, and sucks up the dirty – unlike mopping with a bucket, you get no sloshing of already crappy slop.

    I’m recharging it now to tackle the hardwood floors in the dining room and hallway. For cleaning, we just use vinegar, the enclosed samples of floor cleaner weren’t all that impressive. I have to figure out which of their vacuums will work out best for us, there are so many models to choose from it’s hard to keep it straight, I really like the concept of cleaning more often via robot. It never seems to work out to “often enough” when it’s just down to me alone.

    @Gina:

    I’m always tempted by a Roomba, but I know for a fact that this would happen, and one of our cats is a 13-pound Maine Coon mix. Not a good combination. He already broke our printer/scanner by jumping on it.

    @Mnemosyne: Nice! So far my 3 cats just flounce off in a huff when Scooba’s going. Of course, that involves some water, so I don’t know if they’d find the dry version more interesting. Mostly they just scoff and stalk off to their favorite windowsill whenever annoying “new things” show up in the house.

    I do make sure the Rotties are all cordoned off, since bouncing on and chomping disk-shaped objects is considered super fun by all of mine.

    I’ve seen the National live three times. They were really good all three times. That drummer is fantastic.
