Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Infrastructure week. at last.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

People are complicated. Love is not.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

Let there be snark.

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

    New York may gain from Republicans in New Jersey, Ohio and Wisconsin refusing federal money to develop passenger rail systems. The three states’ rejection of the funding may benefit California, Florida and the Northeast, particularly New York, said Norman Mineta, a Democrat who served as transportation secretary under Republican President George W. Bush .

    Can we talk about how awesome the new “Sherlock” is instead then? I’ve watched everytime they’re on PBS and last night streamed them all to watch again. Every time I watch I see or hear something new that I missed before and am finding them very funny and very riveting. Course it helps to be chock full of middle aged lady eye candy…I’m looking at you Benedict C., Martin F. and Rupert G.

    That was ugly. It doesn’t help that our O-line and linebacking corps need a M*A*S*H unit and losing Hines Ward early sucked, but still.

    The Steelers looked like shit pretty much top to bottom in that one. Because garbage time in that game was pretty much the entire second half, I got a shitload of fantasy points from Big Ben. So I had that going for me at least.

    Except that Belichick has every draft pick for the first five rounds in his back pocket. That man is a hoarder when it comes to draft picks.

    I was happily surprised given the way the Pats looked against Cleveland. They just seem to match up well vs. the Steelers. I still think next week PManning kills them; they really have had trouble all year against the pass.

    Hurtful motto a commenter at CHFF uses: You’re stuck in an elevator with a lion, a tiger and a Steelers fan. You only have 2 bullets. What do you do? Shoot the Steelers fan. Twice.

    Brady is 6-1 against the Steelers. But it feels more like 12-1.

    Rapistburger looked like a big fat Will Ferrell for most of the night. The retro uniform doesn’t flatter him.

    So, the latest wingnut outrage is that federal workers making more than $150k/year has doubled under Obama.

    Nary a peep from the establishment Dems. It’s now been ingrained into the collective that liberals are bankrupting the country by overpaying people to stand around on construction sites. It’s no wonder our taxes are so high. Obama has to go. Cutting taxes (on the wealthy) should be our first priority, not paying off democratic voters.

    ‘Nother week, ‘nother loss in the newscycle.

    My condolences Mr. Cole.

    I’m just now recovering from the minor surprise of my Falcons beating the Ravens last Thursday. I knew they were good, just wasn’t sure if they were, beat the Ravens, good.

    It’s a rough 3 hours when your team can’t get anything going AND not even slow down the other team. Everything starts to snowball, and before you know it, Justin Bieber Sr is spiking the ball in your endzone and talking shit to your fans.

    And there’s not a damn thing they can do about it…

    Take heart, in this year’s NFL, the Steelers still have the second best record in the league (*clears throat* behind the Falcons), and everything is still wide open. Hell, the Patriots got taken out to the woodshed by Cleveland last week for Pete’s sake!

    I watched that game in a bar in Cincinnati, and the Steelers hate just overwhelmed the place (there were two drunk Browns fans sitting next to me, everyone else was a Bengals fan). Nobody really cares that much about the Steelers in New York, so it was fun to experience a Steelers game in a place where they are the Great Satan.

    Even in New York, there’s no one team that consumes everyone with hate. Mets fans hate the Phillies, but Yankees fans don’t care. Yankees fans hate the Red Sox, but Mets fans don’t care. Same with Jets fans and the Patriots and Giants fans and the Cowboys.

    Tom Brady, his mullet

    Didn’t see the game and haven’t seen much of him other than that commercial. Did he lose the Justin Bieber/Fisher-Price toy ‘do he had earlier this year?

    Mullet! Dem deres fightn words.

    It is not a mullet anyway.

    Though I am not sure what to say about a guy who does not make decisions about his own hair.

    Oh. Yea. That would be married.

    There’s also something funny about a Steelers fan making fun of Brady’s hair when you’ve got a safety who looks like the world’s biggest Chia pet.

    Nah,
    Next season, Pittsburgh should dress and field 11 men who can run, throw, and catch the ball, like Randel El in place of linemen. I mean, that strategy’s worked pretty well so far this season, hasn’t it?

    @martha:

    Yes, our about-to-be new governor is a complete asshat. Scotty “I’m an idiot” Walker.

    Ain’t that the truth. Saw a blurb in the paper over the weekend where our Gov. to be wants to road trip to AZ and FL, where he plans to expound on the wisdom of various retirees moving back to WI (well, at least moving their money back to WI, since that’s all he really cares about). What retiree in their right (or even disturbed) mind would want to move back to the upper Midwest year ’round?

    Thanks a lot, asshats, I’m really not looking forward to the next 4 years up here.

    It was my fault, that game. I attended my first game at Heinz Field last night. It will be my last. On top of the shitty way the entire organization performed, I sat right next to and behind obnoxious Pats fans (oxymoron). It was sheer torture.

    But the lights sure are purdy!

    Walker, Toomey, Deer-in-the-headlights-Ben. I’m sorry for all that, but none of this changes the fact that:

    ALL UR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!

    PS: the best part of the game was listening to Stillers fans booing their own team so loud it drowned out the NBC color commentary- Thanks!

    Well, linemen, and perhaps some nice guy with good hands to backup Hines Ward. And a nice guy with a good arm to replace Ben. Or a soccer player to replace Ben. Or someone anyone to replace Ben.
