Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

75% of people clapping liked the show!

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

Washington Post Catch and Kill, not noticeably better than the Enquirer’s.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

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

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

From our Food Goddess, TaMara:

Have been under the weather with a pesky cold all week. Too much travel, not enough rest and exercise. Lots of homemade soups, though, so there is an upside. Tonight is about recipes that have a bit more flair to them, but are still simple to prepare. If you’re not a fan of fish, you can easily substitute boneless chicken breasts: pound them flat and increase cooking time. Find a really nice whole grain bread and maybe some honey butter for the spread to compliment the fish, with broccoli and shortbread rounding out the meal.
__
On the board tonight:
__
__
1. Crispy Pecan Fish
__
2. Hearty Bread
__
3. Broccoli w/Garlic Wine Sauce
__
4. Shortbread

    Is it possible to post something off topic even on an open thread?

    Oh well. I noticed on my news machine that Charlie Sheen made CBS cancel Two and a Half Men because he was spouting off- on the Alex Jones radio show of all places.

    Nobody can hit bottom like Charlie Sheen- WOLVERINES!!!!!

    Fox Lies!!

    It was an incendiary allegation — and a mystery of great intrigue in the media world: After the publishing powerhouse Judith Regan was fired by HarperCollins in 2006, she claimed that a senior executive at its parent company, News Corporation, had encouraged her to lie two years earlier to federal investigators who were vetting Bernard B. Kerik for the job of homeland security secretary.
    __
    Ms. Regan had once been involved in an affair with Mr. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner whose mentor and supporter, former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, was in the nascent stages of a presidential campaign. The News Corporation executive, whom she did not name, wanted to protect Mr. Giuliani and conceal the affair, she said.
    __
    Now, court documents filed in a lawsuit make clear whom Ms. Regan was accusing of urging her to lie: Roger E. Ailes, the powerful chairman of Fox News and a longtime friend of Mr. Giuliani. What is more, the documents say that Ms. Regan taped the telephone call from Mr. Ailes in which Mr. Ailes discussed her relationship with Mr. Kerik…
    __
    Depending on the specifics, the taped conversation could possibly rise to the level of conspiring to lie to federal officials, a federal crime, but prosecutors rarely pursue such cases, said Daniel C. Richman, a Columbia University law professor and a former federal prosecutor.

    Brought to you by GOP TV: If white america told the truth for one day it’s world would fall apart

    This blog’s realization that many D Senators are not on the side of the working man is respectable. Euro lefties have been point this out.. for a while (see link above). Nevertheless I feel my spine stiffening… Do you think America has the appetite for a general strike? How about a White Riot? I know the whole house of cards only fell down a couple of years ago and Obama has mitigated some of it, but the pain is still coming, what’s going to happen?

    I’m taking my moocher ass to the Lyric Opera in Chicago tomorrow to see Lohengrin with a college student ticket for $20 and taking my horrible, wasteful student grant money and buying a dinner consisting of:

    Mixed Mushroom Charlotte with Currant Glaze
    Roasted Duck Ravioli on diced butternut squash
    Salmon, Whitefish and Spinach Roulade with shrimp sauce on a duchess potato ring
    and Chocolate Pot de Crème topped with chocolate whipped cream

    I’ll live on peanut butter for another couple weeks as penance if no one tells Glenn Beck.
