Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Awesome. Whoever suggested Kerem for breakfast wins a point. About dinner, I will probably never find a place that half of you think is either (a) on a downhill slide, (b) overrated, or (c) nowhere near as awesome as some even more obscure place right next door, but a credible appeal was made for Meskerem around 18th and Columbia and for 8 rather than 7:30. As before, email if you think you can make it.

    Always on the lookout for a good breakfast place. No search results for “Kerem”: could that be Keren, on Florida Ave.?

    Meskerem? Meskerem? What. The. Fuck.

    I can’t believe this. I thought I’d seen every betrayal known to man since January 20, 2009. I thought I’d been disrespected, kicked in the teeth, taken for granted and thrown under the bus in every way a loyal Democrat could be.

    But this? This is the end. I can’t take this any more. I told you which restaurant was the best one last night. I told you which was the right one. And you ignored me. Well, screw you. I’m going to go to my restaurant tonight. Mine. And then I’m going to change my party affiliation to Green. Or maybe Petulant. Whichever makes me feel more self righteous. Then I’m going to sit out the presidential election. That’ll teach you. You freaking people. You’re dead to me. Dead. To. Me. Chew on that, O-bots.

    I think Meskerem is overrated. ;-) But even overrated Ethiopian places in the DC area are pretty damn good, and I can’t join you anyway, so you don’t need to consider my opinion. It’ll be yummy; enjoy!

    If you like French food a couple of choices:

    Monmartre near Eastern Market – 327 7th St SE – and they also run a great sandwich/pizza shop next door called 7th Hill Pizza.

    Also… Bistro Cacao at 320 Massachusets Ave NE.

    How many days are you in DC? I will be there on Thursday and perhaps Wednesday.

    I bet they make SURE the second ‘o’ in their neon sign does not burn out.

    Meskerem is good. There used to be a place directly across the street called Fasika’s that was arguably better, but it closed. I think it had a fire.

    Have you considered Soylent Green?

    Yes, This Modern World has moved over to the GOS, but I still love reading Tom Tomorrow. It fit’s this post to, Congressman Ryan turning the elderly into Soylent Green. Got to town….

    Meskerem is fine. We ate there a few weeks ago after an event at the art center. My conclusion was that it was a fine place to go to if you were trying to get out of the rain, as we were, but if you were coming from elsewhere you’d be better off at Etete.

    That said, I think Meskerem has more seating so if you want to not wait around or need to accommodate a larger group it’s probably the way to go.
