Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Let’s finish the job.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

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

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

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

He really is that stupid.

    Charlie makes me kinda sad.

    Braves pitchers and catchers report in eight days. The world is again righting itself.

    @Phyllis:
    Yeah, agreed. While it’s kind of funny in one way, it’s really sad in another. He needs help and it doesn’t look like he’s getting it. I saw something where he’s getting rehab at home. Rehab at home? How does that even work? “Okay Charlie, now you can’t go into the room with the liquor cabinet, okay?” Huh?

    @Phyllis: Cubs pitchers and catchers too. And a bunch of teams have theirs reporting in seven days. Winter’s practically over. :)

    “it took some work” – what’s this a euphamism for then? He wanted to watch while you and one of the hookers mopped the bathroom naked?

    I just ran across and installed the Super Bowl XLV program and game guide iPad apps. Pretty good for free stuff. Nice spotlight on both teams and some great videos. Since I am not a huge sports fan, I prefer stuff like this to sitting through the endless pre game crap on the teevee. That said,

    Go Packers.

    Re: Charlie Sheen not being able to go into a room with a liquor cabinet. He’ll, he can’t go into a room with a medicine cabinet.

    @Violet: When all your ‘friends’ and ‘advisors’ are paid employees, your best interests and their best interests aren’t always the same thing.

    Btw, we watched ‘Who is Harry Nilsson’ last night. Well done, with unvarnished interviews with many colleagues and friends. My takeaway? Harry was a singular talent with an incredible voice. John Lennon? Kind of a sh*t, actually.

    @jurassicpork You know… I guess I’m of the faint of heart in that list you put up, as I am feeling sick from reading that list of crap Reagan did. Not much of it was new to me really, but all together like that…Yuk! I never did like the guy, and I sure did not vote for him, and considering that I think things got even worse after him, well…. NOT good.

    On the brighter side though, I am ROFling over the picture in my mind of John Cole getting Charlie Sheen out of the room. Way to go! I’m sure it took courage to do that.

    I just finished watching CBS Sunday Morning. It had a segment on Ronald Reagan. Made me scream at the TV “are you kidding” and “bullshit” several times. I am just appalled at the lies and omissions of the coverage of dear ole Ronnie. He was the original racist, sexist, classist and Corporatist nasty Republican President of modern America. I hate how the media allows/promotes this sainting of Ronald Reagan. He is directly responsible for much of the pain and problems the US and the world face today. Ugh.

    In honor of his 100th B’day, the House Appropriations Committee will now attempt to squeeze a few extra $$$ out of, what will be called, the Cadillacs for Blacks Mothers on Welfare™ budget so that we can enjoy the real thing .

    Nil-nil at the half, but it absolutely should be 1-0 Liverpool. Inexcusable miss by Maxi Rodriguez.

    Why is a match between two mid-table teams (4th and 7th place) still considered a “Big Four clash”?

    G and I just got back from a lovely tramp through the snowpocalypse. I am very glad I spent the last 6 weeks buying things like snow boots and ski jackets. Shoulda put on the long underwear I brought — my legs are frickin’ freezing. Now we’re just waiting for his brother to come pick us up for brunch.

    FT: Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool

    Very solid defensive performance by Liverpool. They leapfrog Sunderland into sixth place. Chelsea’s championship hopes probably gone.

    @Comrade Coffin:

    The big four are ManU, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool. Spurs are interlopers, and ManCity are nouveau riche neighbors who are wrecking the neighborhood by building a McMansion and racing their Lamborghinis up and down the street after nidnight.

    Good luck today, John. Steeler fans. And Packer fans.

    I’m pulling for the Pack because I do NOT want the Steelers winning a Super Bowl in Dallas. Yes, I am bitter. So very very bitter.
