Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

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

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Good lord, these people are nuts.

This fight is for everything.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

“woke” is the new caravan.

The words do not have to be perfect.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

I was promised a recession.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

The revolution will be supervised.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Fantasy Football Update!

The Elitist Meritocracy Conference of the BJFL is full up with top performers from last year’s 4 conferences. I am too lazy to run more than one conference, but other juicers have stepped into the breach. The Wignut Welfare Conference of the BJFL is now open for signup on Yahoo; the password to join is alsotoo:

Another B-J regular has set up a third league on ESPN.com. He’s going to use an auction draft system – I’ve never played that way but it sounds interesting. Some other fine points of rules and scoring may be different too, but top finishers in this league will also be invited to the Elitist Conference in 2012:

Opening Day is Thursday and fantasy drafts are going down Tuesday-Wednesday of this week….don’t be late!

    Yeah…I wish I had the time to dedicate to something like this. But the way my work schedule is I’d never make a draft unless it was late at night.

    Yep, I expect that next year I’ll invite top finishers from this year’s conferences to fill most of the Elitist Conference.

    And btw, I’d agree that “football” is sort of a silly name for a sport in which the act of kicking the ball is a “special” event. I actually like the British name for our game, “gridiron” – but then I’m a godless soshulist.

    Drafted on Friday, and went with *gulp* Arian Foster with pick number 4. Making matters worse, my favorite RB2s (Stephen Jackson, Matt Forte) were off the board in round two, so I went with *double gulp* Frank Gore. Lot of risk tied up in those two. At least I don’t have Peyton Manning.

    Meanwhile, in a sport that I actually give a shit about, my Detroit Tigers have followed a weekend sweep of the Chisox with an equally delicious road win in Cleveland. Life is good.
