Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.
Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.
With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Giving up is unforgivable.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris
This fight is for everything.
Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.
You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.
It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.
Our messy unity will be our strength.
They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
Bark louder, little dog.
The willow is too close to the house.
I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.
Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.
“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”
Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!
Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…
Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

On behalf of everyone forced to do family tech support let me say this:
If you know what you’re doing with the computer, shut up and do it yourself.
If you don’t know what you’re doing and you need my help, shut up and let me do it. I don’t need to hear from somebody who has already told me they don’t know anything.
Thank you.

I asked in the open thread last night, but I didn’t have a chance to check back for any answers.
Anybody have any opinion on the new “Spotify” music download site that’s big hit in Europe and is finally coming to America?
I’ve been looking for a new way to download music. I’m open to buying a monthly subscription so that I can download unlimited music. So does anyone have any recommendation for a good site to download music.

I like monitor but they are the bane of bartenders’ existence. Muddling takes up a lot of time and pre making doesn’t turn out well. That said, muddle them up and enjoy John!

Traditional fare tonight: Steak and fresh from the garden okra.

I wish this S&P business had gone down earlier today. Maybe it would have induced some of the Galtians to jump out windows and land in the great big Galt’s Gulch in the sky.

Lol monitors. Damn you autocorrect Mojitos
Yutsano
Pizza and cheap wine after work. Even though I have literally done nothing for the last hour. And I still ain’t seen a damn Dawg yet.

Red Sox/Yankees + beautiful summer night + cosmopolitans + gourmet pizza = life is good. It’s so good, I’m not even going to renounce Stalin.

@lamh34: He, like all sane people, is certainly in over his head with teabagger sh*t.

@lamh34: There’s a post by mistermix on that subject about a week ago.

Oh, I forgot to tell you what we are having. I made a roux, added some white wine and seasoning, poured it over orange roughy and baked it, some rosemary bacon new potatoes, and tomatoes, onions, and cucumber salad. Simple dinner tonight.

@Yutsano:
This morning I went and walked around the Bonnie Dick. Mostly ship’s company (sailors) on board, but there were a few dozen Misguided Children.
Need to upload some pics too. They had their first Osprey on board, and a real live Seattle seahawk type osprey was hovering on the wind over the ship.

Going to a barbecue party in about an hour. Marinated beef kabobs and several vodka Collins are in store.

I hope the clouds up here part; we might see aurora borealis tonight.

@Yutsano: O/T Thank you for your kind thoughts last night, Yutsy. And as much as the neuros are big jerks, I actually think orthopods are by and large worse, at least in this town.
My problem will be that I have an opinion about a low side effect profile, cutting edge hormonal treatment that the neuro isn’t gonna wanna hear…

That should be “FTMFYWAVRPF” (thanks to Sister Rusty Pitchfork of Decency).

@MikeJ: I’ve seen a shit ton of calamari about. And I think I saw a couple of Dawg packs but they were all in civvie gear so hard to tell for sure.

Mojito = Cuban Hi-Ball.
Same difference, but a Mojito definitely sounds tastier.

Yeah? Well I’m eating ice cream out of the carton.

@lamh34: Perhaps John King thinks Obama should have done the sensible thing and waterboarded the teabaggers until they came to their senses, if they have any senses. As a good Republican, I’m sure John King understands the value of a little S&M.
Yutsano
@Bella: you know what? It’s your treatment regimen. If your doc doesn’t like it, tell him to suck it up and if he still bitches, get a new one. Ultimately you’re the one who chooses how your body feels and is responding. As our esteemed physicians on this blog will attest, doctors ain’t God. If you think they’re wrong say so!
@MikeJ: Sweet ride. Now where’s the pretty bird? :)

Shot an amusing photo on the street in Seattle this afternoon and sent it to our genial host. Hopefully he will see fit to post it at some point.

A: New Jersey got first pick.

@MikeJ:
LOL. I’ve been there.
It always reminds me of the old joke about the plumber: “My standard rate is $45 an hour. If you want to watch, it’s $50 an hour. And if you want to help it’s $75 an hour.”

@MikeJ:
The Road was some kind stark post apocalyptic movie. But I like stark, and really liked The Book of Eli
