Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Usually wrong but never in doubt
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires
Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.
Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.
Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.
Republicans do not pay their debts.
We are aware of all internet traditions.
In my day, never was longer.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?
We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.
You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.
Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.
The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.
We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.
When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?
If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.
I really should read my own blog.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
M. Bouffant
That may be one of the top five Photoshops ever.
Yutsano
IIRC those are kosher even.
And thanks for the music blogging earlier ABL. I actually enjoyed the cellos more than I thought I would.
hhex65
Ok, but I wouldn’t put it pasta him to eventually win this ballot fight.

I’m a fan of Driftglass’ photoshops.
Elvis Elvisberg
Wow, was wondering what deep political meaning this could have… then put together the joke. Thanks, fun stuff.
Weirdly, the radio just started playing a song called “Miso Ramen” right at this very moment. It’s kinda good!
MattR
Hello peoples of the night. I haz nothing to say. But I iz watching. So make with the funny please.
Mnemosyne
I was waiting for an open thread so I could say … damn, I waited so long that I forgot what it was.
Oh, well. Here’s a cat enjoying the snow. Good night.
asiangrrlMN
Thanks, ABL, for the Open Thread. Kiss kiss.
@Yutsano: Check out my reply to you belowthread, and what do you mean enjoyed the cellos more than you thought you would? How is that even possible? Cellos are teh awesums!
@MattR: Aren’t you supposed to be in bed? And, aren’t you demanding!
@Mnemosyne: I posted that onto my FB wall with the comment, Kitteh Snow DEMON! Night!

@MattR:
MattR MattR, falls kinda FlatR.
Yeah I don’t have nothing, but it’s not not lame.
Bring it.
Mark S.
It’s close, but most Americans would rather raise the payroll cap than cut SS benefits or raise the retirement age.
The question is how we can convince the 77% to do what David Broder tells them to do.
MattR
@asiangrrlMN: I should be asleep but theory and reality often come into conflict. I should be in bed in about 15 minutes when I kick off one last job for work. I did just set the alarm for 5 hours from now. I am very excited to hear it go off. And we have snow in the forecast.
@freelancer: Oh yeah? Well I’m rubber, you’re glue …
asiangrrlMN
@MattR: I hear you. I have been trying to roll back my sleep schedule, but yeah. Not working well. I WILL make it to bed before 3 Central mumble Time, though.
@Mark S.: By screaming Death Panels! Sockulism! Obamacare! at them until they capitulate.

@MattR:
Well, in that case, I’m not going anywhere near your wetsuits.
Angry Black Lady
@Yutsano: you’re quite welcome!
freelancer
@Angry Black Lady:
Swoon.
And G’night.
Warren Terra
Shouldn’t it really be Ramen Yewell, not Rahmen Emanuel? Or maybe Ramen Ramenuel?
Yutsano
@Angry Black Lady: I suppose this warrants a couple dozen cookies. Or a Marine husband. I could probably arrange either one.
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
Just trying out the new handle.
asiangrrlMN
OK. Which link does fucking WP not like? Everything goes better with cellos.
@Yutsano: Speaking of cookies….As for Marine hubbies, I know one who can build his own computer AND change the oil in his car. You may know of him as well.
asiangrrlMN
It must be the Alan Rickman link. Everything goes better with Alan Rickman as well. Let’s see if FYWP will allow this link.
And chocolate. Will FYWP allow this link?
ETA: So it was the first Alan Rickman link. Harrumph.
MattR
@asiangrrlMN: I’m assuming you aren’t watching poker so threatening to pull the plug is useless.
Andy K
Damn!
ABL, do you have the keys to the moderation queue? I’m trying to change my screen name to Temporarily Max McGee for the Super Bowl fortnight.
Ija
I think that guy who rented Rahm’s house and refuses to leave must be very proud of himself. Or in fear of his life. (Joke, that was a joke, not actually implying that Rahm would cap anybody. Too soon?)
For something completely different, I just discovered Friday Night Lights on DVD, and all I want to say is, Matt Saracen, you deserve so much better than Julie Taylor.
MattR
@asiangrrlMN: Aargh. FYWP. First time went into moderation cuz I was not paying attention.
I’m assuming you aren’t watching p0ker so threatening to pull the plug is useless
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
Let’s see if I get moderated again.
asiangrrlMN
@Ija: I laughed.
@MattR: Not watching. Have no interest in Pokinger.
MattR
@asiangrrlMN: And the job is kicked off. G’night all.
Martin
FYWP is eating all of my posts with links. Sucks to be y’all. You would have LOLed.
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
Aha! Is very good now! Thank you, ABL, or Anne Laurie, or, ya know, whoever got me outta there!
Max McGee in SB I (@ about 23 seconds). Hung over, nearly sleepless, not expecting to play.
Martin
@asiangrrlMN: I tried to fix my sleep schedule last night. Went to bed an hour early and tossed and turned for 3 hours before I could fall asleep. FML.
asiangrrlMN
@MattR: Night!
@Martin: I know. My best ones got eated as well. FYWP!
@Martin: I hear it takes six weeks to establish a new habit. But, I feel your pain. It is really hard to adjust a sleep schedule.
Martin
I think the problem is that I got a new TiVo and I lost my extended channels until the cable guy comes and am now suffering from Top Gear withdrawals. Plus the goddamn dog thinks he’s a prince and demands constant attention. I blame the queen. She breeds these freakish things.
Martin
@asiangrrlMN: 6 weeks? Fuck that. A pint of gin will do it in 48 hours and clean all the impurities out of your system.
hamletta
Rahmen! Rahmen! Ema-a-anuel. And ransom starving college students now….
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: Chocolate graham cookies in chocolate sauce? My heart doth runneth over in joy!
And yeah, I finally got the last piece of the puzzle to make up a batch or two of nom noms. Hopefully these will work better than my last attempt. Don’t ask.
@Martin:
Hee. CORGI WUV!!
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@Yutsano:
I usually get big WTFs! over this, but dunking Oreos in Hawaiian Punch Fruit Juicy Red was, I think, the ambrosia that sustained the Greek pantheon of gods.
asiangrrlMN
@Martin: That would make me comatose. Which, come to think of it, is close enough for ebil gubmint work.
@Yutsano: Now I have to know! What happened with the last attempt?
@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again): What. The FUCK?
ETA: Ohhhhh! You have to be drunk to appreciate it. Gotcha!
Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)
@asiangrrlMN:
It’s really good. Discovered it on New Year’s Eve, 1978.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN:
You! Yeah you! What you done did there, I done saw it, don’t think I didn’t!
Combination of wrong measurements and not the best quality vanilla. Or when good cookies go bad. Horribly horribly bad.
@Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again): Ummm…yeah. Gonna Whiskey Tango Foxtrot on that too. Though deep fried Oreos are serious nom so…
Martin
@Yutsano: Yeah. They’re cute as shit, but a 45 lb dog with 4″ long legs is the most ridiculous thing ever.
@asiangrrlMN: Yes, comatose is part of the therapy.
asiangrrlMN
@Yutsano: What? What I say? I iz innocent!
Deep-fried Oreos? Never had them. Deep-fried Snickers, on the other hand, not so good. Too salty.
asiangrrlMN
I’m outie. Night, folks.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: Simple enough to make. Drop in tempura batter, fry until golden, scarf when warm. Fudgy gooey little discs of serious chocolate nom.
@Martin: Friend of mine in Canada had one. Annoyed him cause he always wanted to go outside. And always bugged HIM to let him out, even though there were four other people in the house.
Martin
@Yutsano: Yeah, he goes out a lot. Enough that we’re considering replacing one of our sliders with one with a dog door. But he’s a great pet overall. The kids just adore him.
I’m out as well. Going to try and settle for my usual sleep time without the tossing and turning. Unfortunately without the gin as well. Nights all.

In the late ’70s I ran into a guy named Don Chandler so I had to ask him if he was the Packers kicker. He wasn’t but told the story that he went to SB I and the night before the game was having dinner in a bar. Several Chiefs fans overheard the staff saying his name & started buying him drinks. He said he was quite hungover the next day as a result.
Not that it seems to have mattered to a real Packer.
