Shit.
Never mind, carry on as you were.
Now where did I put my coke vial and that sweet little Portuguese man?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
I really should read my own blog.
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.
Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.
Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.
That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.
A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.
We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.
Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.
No one could have predicted…
There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.
“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”
Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.
Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.
Come on, man.
When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.
75% of people clapping liked the show!
Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.
Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

Happy 93rd birthday, Grammy.

Yay! Another Crab! Mine’s in one week.
Happy B-Day Sarah!

And a very merry Christmas, dear Sarah.

Oh, darling, every day should be your birthday. Except for the getting older part, of course. I’ve got a lovely glass of Côtes du Rhône lifted in your honor. L’chaim!

Dear, I told you if you lose this one we ain’t getting you another. Or was that break. I don’t recall the specifics now.
Oh and o-tanjyoobi o omedeto gozaimasu. Also.

I know this has been said a million times over, but man is Nancy Grace a disgusting human being. This Goblin studied Law? Apparently just believing in someone’s guilt should be enough to convict them.

Wow. I’ve heard about the Grey Gardens ladies, but that’s the first time I’ve ever seen video. That was…. something.
Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn bought that house. I bet Sally still does that dance for dinner guests.

Thanks for the Grey Gardens clip. Now I remember who Michele Bachmann reminds me of.
Mnemosyne
Nah — Little Edie was much more self-aware than Bachmann is.

Granny, tell us a story about the Great Depression and how you suffered through with only one Duesy.
eemom
happy birthday Mrs Sarah! We luvs ya.
btw, if Cole hasn’t given you your present yet and you’re good with coke and men for now……could you maybe ask for a Reply button? The plaintive wailing of we unwashed hordes goes unheeded, but YOU might have some influence….

Ha! srv, my grandmom’s dad insisted she take the Stutz Bearcat when she went cross-country to San Francisco to start her young adult life in the mid-’30s.
My dad used to tell me her life was like My Man Godfrey. At the height of the depression, they were loaded.
Sadly, that fortune was pissed away by the time I came along. I’m almost as pissed off as George Sanders about it.

Sarah, here’s hoping your birthday celebration lands you in a jail cell in Brazil, on the EC special emergency session docket (to spring you), and in a ten-page photo spread of Paris Match. Simultaneously.
Yeah, I know. It wouldn’t be the first time…

@ Hal @6
nancy grace if memory serves is a person who lost a close family member (husband?) to a violent crime.
she then became a proscutor, with a perfect record if you ignore the cases overturned for her ethics violations, big violations…
that I know, I expect she whored herself as a free “expert” for cable nets until someone picked her up for a show.
whenever I see her I see someone psychologically damaged by the death of a loved one who never got over it.
If we lived in a DC comics world she might be batgirl.
instead she’s a harpy

Here SP&T, some other Portuguese men as backups: Pós Modernos is the one I was originally thinking of but alas, is completely outdone on the odd little Portuguese man scale by Popless.

Since I’m on a rest stop break, I thought I’d check on things.
@hamletta:
My grandfather used to own a share of an Oklahoma oil field. His brother made him sign over all the rights before he left to fight in WWII. By the time he got home his brother had sold it all. Basta.

Happy Birthday! :-)
BTW anybody see this:
Obama finally using some technnology and bypassing the media. It’s about time we have something like that. Maybe he should fucking just skip the white house press corp and simply just have twitter stuff instead. Put those fuckers out of a job..
Assholes.

@ Origuy:
I think the Suomi entry is missing a couple of umlauts. And I’m sticking with my Japanese transliteration, so neener. :)

Yutsano: Classic, but the modern romaji is tanjoubi.
It’s funny, my wife spells everything “sy” instead of “sh”. She’s 44 from Japan.

I’m over here, my dear, bound, gagged, and dressed head to toe in black leather, awaiting your attentions…

Happ Birthday, kiddo!

Happy birthday, ma’am.
Re the video: explaining US history to European friends is problematic enough, and it’s getting weirder all the time.

Happy birthday, my dearest laaaadiiiie. Found this rare photo of SPT celebrating her 14th at Grey Gardens.
Also, too, belated 4th, everyone. A pic from my 4th

Happy 41st. Just one more year of grad school ought to do it, no?

Little Edie is awesome.
Though the two times I watched “Grey Gardens,” I spent most of the time somewhere between laughter and tears. So funny and so sad.

Absolutely correct. As a matter of fact each of the letters a in the two words should be an umlaut, which makes it a total of five umlauts.

Do Michelle and Sarah do such dances to get their respective husbands ready for business?
