Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

White supremacy is terrorism.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

This really is a full service blog.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Bad news for Ron DeSantis is great news for America.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

    paradox

    Raiders-Chargers blacked out again, partly because the Raiders are terrible, and partly because times are tough’n prices are outrageous for NFL football.

    When I was a whippersnapper, right–before the country went to hell–every Stabler-Fouts game was of course always on, and it was great football. Now the Raiders are like the Democrats.

    There. Now I feel much older.

    Cards are going to get slaughtered by the Saints. Back to the same old, same old. *sigh*

    Kurt Warner, are you *sure* you want to stay retired?

    I really need the Broncos to win today – football pool wise.

    Other than that…. the Bills make me sad. :(

    what r€nato said.

    The Patriots are off, but the Cardinals (I will be at the game, way up in the Uecker seats) are starting … well .. see my new user name.

    Well, that should be the end of the Packers’ Pat Lee experiment running back kicks….And then Donald Lee fumbles it away…And Findley limps off the field…Ugh…

    According to Cable this is the day the Raiders take personal responsibility and man up. Whatever that means.

    It’s a sad day an intra-division game is only going to draw about 25K at the old yard in Oaktown, to wax a bit poetic for a moment… growing up we were definitely working poor and my mom could still afford season tickets to da Raiders.

    Oh how things have changed.

    Raiders are going to get smoked by the by… which I believe will make it 14 in a row for the Bolts.

    @Jeff: At the moment, I wouldn’t count on gaining any ground on the Bears.

    Edit: You may well gain ground on the Lions, though. I’m sure that’s something you’re concerned about.

    Texans are playing like shit. Just complete shit. M-F’ers.
    The Giants are not this good you fucking schmoes.

    Wow. When was the last time the Lions were ahead by 14 points at any time during a game?

    @John – A Motley Moose: Detroit is an amazing sports town. Some may choose to view this particular instance as resulting from a combination of stupidity and insanity, though.

    Warm, gorgeous, fun day in Cincinnati! At Bengals now, then the tailgate starts anew in preparation for Phillies-Reds Game 3.

    To add to the downtown festival atmosphere, Disney on Ice is taking place as I type this. Word on the street is Pooh Bear might attempt the elusive Quadruple Axle.

    JenJen +3 and it’s early

    @That’s Master of Accountancy to You, Pal:

    Don’t take that ‘miserable Lions’ wrong. I’ve lived in the Detroit area. I’m watching the game and cheering on the Lions. But, ‘miserable’ certainly applies for a team that is 3-37 in their last 40 games.

    It’s become clear in the first 4 games that these aren’t the Lions of the last few years. They’ve battled injuries and bad calls and have still fought hard and been competitive. They are definitely on the road to recovery.

    The sellout is especially significant considering there were more than 100,000 people at the MSU-UM game yesterday. It’s not like people are starving for football around here.

    @asiangrrlMN: Heh. We’re attempting to put a dent in it. I used the recipe here and am pretty happy with how it turned out, but I used a sirloin instead of rump. Now I want a nap.

    Omnes Omnibus

    @asiangrrlMN: The Lions are not as bad a team as they once were. Good teams have had real trouble with them, and they will bite someone in the ass at some point this season.

    Shaun Hill is repaying my faith in him. That may be about the only fantasy football success of my season, but it induces a warm glow nonetheless.

    Stupid fucking Texans. Look like a high school team against the hapless Cowboys, now roll over for a sub-mediocre Giants team.
    What a fucking joke of a performance.

    @Andy K: You link me to AA with no warning? For that, I better be your goddamn QUEEN! I’m gonna bookmark your site and peruse it at my leisure. I am actually thinking of starting a little political blog, and I want to see what’s out there.

    @morzer: Gooooooo not-Packers! Like I said, I would take McNabb next year.

    Lots of Pack fans in D.C.

    And Rodgers throws a pick and gives the Washington Politically Incorrects great field position!

    JenJen

    Ha ha, my Bengals suck.

    Oh well, one down, one to go. Back to the tailgate, and go Reds in Game 3! No sweeps!

    JenJen still +3 (pacing myself)

    @JenJen: Vikes did not lose today!

    @morzer: Yep. And the march kinda goes on. Oooh, defensive holding! Gooooo, not-Packers!

    Holy shit. The Pack defense is imploding! Ka-BOOM!

    And, god, do I hate Joe Buck with the blue-hot intensity of an eleven-billionty suns.

    Damn 49ers. Even when I get just a bit of hope, taken away almost immediately.

    this is going to be one long season.

    49ers–a team that makes Buffalo look good. Despite their disappointing loss, I’ll give up a win by them for an SF Giants playoff win any day.

    And, nobody thought Oakland would beat San Diego when I was at the Coliseum watching them get beat by Houston last week. Glad to see them win one. Next week against the 9ers should be interesting.
