Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

The arc of the moral universe does not bend itself. it is up to us to bend it.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Come on, man.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

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

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Radicalized white males who support Trump are pitching a tent in the abyss.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

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

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

    That looks more like photo evidence of dog in lap on lazy boy. There’s not enough man in the picture to be sure how fat he is. ETA: Besides, how do we know it’s really a lazy boy? It could be a couch for all we can tell from that picture. And there’s no actual evidence that the person in the picture is a man, is there? Or even that it’s a person and not a carefully constructed mannequin. Your evidence sucks, Cole.

    Fat Man…Lazy Boy…Little Feat

    Is this a post about the Manhattan Project?
    No, but I can see how you would think that.

    Is it cute down to the atomic level?
    Kinda.

    Again we see the Zuckerberg sandals. Doesn’t anybody watch TV barefoot anymore?

    Lilly lying on the Cole belly is like those ships sailing over the horizon, proving the curvature of the earth.

    I have those same sandals by the back door. They’re easy to scrape dog bombs off of after I go out in the yard.

    I’m sitting up with my wife and we’re pissing and moaning about our ridiculous jobs. one or both of us will probably be doing something else for work, and be happier, before summer arrives in Michigan. I know I shouldn’t but I hope it’s me.

    Ain’t nothin’ little about them feet, Cole, butt-ugly sandals or not.

    Gotta admit though, feeling little puppy lungs breathing on your stomach in time to the music is frakin’ awesome, Rapture or not.

    Okay, Les Dudek. That completes my mini-tour of old-school Southern rock for the evening.

    You can’t hate a man for what he must do
    But if his cause ain’t just and his word untrue
    That man’s a rogue, a devil in disguise
    The bailiff’s books are filled with lies
    Election time and Jones will never lose
    With a gun at your back in the voting booth
    You can’t do what you think is right
    Sad as it is
    Another hangin’ tonight

    When the blog host posts at 2am (after sharing cocktail pics) with glimpses of his Adidas or Adidas-like slip-ons, I can’t help but thank the Insomniac Gods for the mighty intertubes.

    Gonna go listen to Anita Baker’s “Rapture” now.

    I hope not. Or else we have more proof why Cole is a bachelor: terrible taste in decor.

    Some of us listen to Coltrane at 2 a.m.

    “Isn’t that what everyone does at 2 am?”

    Nope. I just finished pulling the cylinders off of my motorcycle at 3 am here on the Left Coast. I’m listening to Adult Swim on my garage TV while inspecting everything prior to cleaning for reassembly. So far so good! I’ve put about 23,000 miles on it since reboring the cylinders back in 2005 and they still have the crosshatching from honing on them! Pistons look good, the ring gaps are well within spec and the valves are in great shape.

    I had to pull it apart because it developed a small oil leak around the timing chain area, which turned out to be an O ring that got brittle from heat, cracked and allowed a small amount of oil to seep out around a head stud (non pressure leak). I’ll reassemble it with a new O ring and a special sealant to make sure that there is no repeat performance. It was really a small leak, like maybe a teaspoon every thousand miles, but I hate oil leaks! This thing isn’t a Harley and I don’t want it leaving spots everywhere like one…lol!

    Time to clean up the work area to get ready for parts cleaning tomorrow. I’m using the repair as a chance to teach the son about four stroke engines and he’s really enjoying it.

    Pig Pen? He died a week before I saw the Dead for the first time in 1974. Personally, I’d rather have Keith Godchaux and/or Vince Welnick back.

    I saw Feat with Lowell in 1978, shortly before he died. Great show and I love most of what he did in his life, including his contribution to Robert Palmer’s excellent “Sneaking Sally” album. Saw an interview with Bill Payne and it sounded like they really resented the fact that Lowell’s instability prevented the band from achieving real superstardom.

    The Golux

    I saw Little Feat with Lowell three times, then Lowell’s solo show (supporting “Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here”) one week before he died.

    “Two degrees in bebop,
    A Ph.D in swing
    He’s the master of rhythm
    He’s the rock’n’roll king.”

    Indeed.

    @RosiesDad: Seconded on the Robert Palmer LP.

    Well the teabaggers have decided to skip the countertops and go straight to threatening to rape the 16 year old who had the gall to challenge Bachmann to a debate.

    Grrrr.

    Would it be unQuakerly of me to call for an all out new civil war?

    @BDeevDad: @Svensker: Mind boggling. On so many levels. Not the least of which is how anyone who is not evil would threaten anyone with rape. And these people call themselves christian?

    @Roger Moore:
    I see a well-rounded knee. Also two sets of toes, so it’s quite a portrait all in all. I’m saving it in the special folder for when I build my John Cole/Frankenstein. Eventually he’ll inadvertently reveal all body parts in various photos, then I’ll stitch them together in photoshop and send it to TMZ… :P

    Heh. Stay away from Triumphs and BSAs then. Those wacky Brits chose to split the crankcase vertically instead of horizontally and seal it with a paper gasket. There was no way you could keep the oil in those things.

    If we’re getting Pig Pen we need Jerry too, think of it as a matched set.

    That DOES appear to be a rather rotund knee.

    Love the way Lills has her little legs curled back on themselves. My doggie Helen, who has looooong legs for days, does the same thing: Curls them up like a fawn.

    CUTE!

    The Dead were so much better, IMO, after Pigpen died. I hope I never have to listen to Turn on Your Lovelight again, 18 minutes that never seemed to end, 18 minutes that never seemed to change. Pigpen was OK at first, I guess, but he never progressed. The same songs, the same way, on and on. It all just seemed so self-indulgent and so stuck.

    How about we substitute Gram Parsons for Pigpen.

    Someone opened up the closet door
    And out stepped John G. Cole
    Playing guitar like a ringing a bell
    And looking like he should

    You gotta play at garden parties
    I wish you a lot of luck
    But if challenges were all I sang
    I’d rather drive a truck

    (It’s 1:26 AM on the East Coast, and I calmed down)
