Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I really should read my own blog.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

He really is that stupid.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

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

The words do not have to be perfect.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Had the Ills (Bill and Jill) over for tacos and salsa, and before I knew it, there were 10 people over. They all went out to the bar, but I opted out tonight and told them to pick up eggs and vegetable oil so I could make some breakfast in a couple hours when they come back and inevitably beat on my door. That’s how we roll in this town of mine- it’s never rude to come late, but it is rude to be without supplies. I like it that way. Party music:

Think I might make a killer souffle and some hash browns for the drunks. What are you party people up to?

    Watching Mizzou-ASU on ESPN. What strikes me is that college football is a billion-dollar industry, but they apparently can’t afford working microphones for the referees.

    Would I be reading blogs if there was a party to go to? Egad, I have to revive a life. Maybe if we get another power failure for the third time this week I can find something more interesting …

    Not that I don’t find all of your comments fascinating, fellow BJers.

    Notice how bored the Republican leadership was last night?

    That’s cause they’re sick of listening to a lame duck President in the last throes of his dying, decrepit administration. They’re tired of having to pretend to take him seriously. Rick Perry is 14 months away…

    actually, the republicans are doomed. they’re just too stupid. they really could have the white house, but they’ll spend the next year saying social security must go and war is always awesome. even the bitter olds will abandon them. they’re sadly, though not all that sadly, doomed.

    Having a nightcap and catching up on today’s threads before turning in. I worked a rare day shift today, came home and crashed from about 7:00 to 11:30. I hope to be able to get back to sleep, because I have another day shift tomorrow. But then my weekend! Yee-haw.

    Missouri-ASU on TV in the background.

    I used to have that same hallucination, but since I’ve been taking my meds regularly, it’s gone away.

    OK, I’ll be honest, it’s really since I quit taking those Other Meds.

    @Little Boots: That’s why they’ll make Perry VP candidate. That way he gets to play Sarah Palin. He’s dumb enough, though at least he can string together intelligible English sentences most of the time.

    “The Ills” + Beasties and no mention of “What’s the time? It’s time to get ill”? These days no one remembers the classics.

    At work, trying half-heartedly to un-fuck something that no one cares about, and feeling like an Overlord cuz my Pandora has Yardbirds, Little Feat, Son Volt, Steve Earle, Replacements, and Warren Zevon stations.

    @asiangrrlMN:

    Long time no see, girl. I have been dealt some crazy work schedules the past few weeks. Plus it has been kind of crazy around here lately, so, like you, I have checked out stepped back a bit.

    I hear you are in love. Any resemblance to Alan Rickman?

    ETA: Might try to get to bed soon. But I’ll check back in the morning if I miss you.

    @Steeplejack: I heard that. I’ve been staying out of most of the brouhaha myself.

    Oh, Steepman, you know there ain’t nobody like Alan Rickman! But yes, I am passionately fond of a certain Cannuckistani.

    I hope you can get some sleep; I’m going to try to get some myself pretty soon.

    Had the Ills (Bill and Jill) over for tacos and salsa…

    Why did the names Frank and Fanny Farkel come into my mind?

    I never thought I’d be this old.

    @Little Boots: Perry has two main functions in this part of the race: (1) marginalize Bachmann and Paul and (2) allow Romney to appear moderate by contrast. Perry will be added to the ticket then to ensure that the tea partiers and evangelicals show up at the polls. This seems to be the plan and the performances at the debate confirmed it to me. On the other hand it could all fall apart if the tea party contingent actually ends up being too strong in the primaries, in which case Perry may still quite plausibly take the nomination.

    Something happen last night? The trolls are all waddling around like they got a big dose of the brown note.

    Got my feet up resting from an afternoon of walking all over the neighbourhood delivering election signs for next month’s provincial election, and nursing a sore hand after a neighbourhood kitty bit me.

    @Reality Check: Actually, Rick Perry is four hours away by car. As I drove past the newest fire in Hunt County, TX, I remembered Perry signing a bill cutting funding for volunteer firefighters from $30Million to $7Million because my wife told me that it was all volunteers from 4 towns fighting the fire. It was within a mile of the nearby High School. You’ll love Perry: If you give him enough money, he’ll let you do him in the ass and light the country on fire at the same time.

    Was listening to Almost Blue and had a brainflash: The next time DougJ writes about some annoying winger politician, he should title the post “I Can’t Drink Enough to Get You Off My Mind.”

    Dude, don’t make a souffle or hashbrowns. You’ll regret it, and as the only sober person, you’ll be on cleanup duty. Drunks and heavy/oily food just don’t mix.
