Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Second rate reporter says what?

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

T R E 4 5 O N

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

This fight is for everything.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

    Don’t know how to link sites but if you’ve never checked out the website
    Behindthsteelcurtain.com I highly recommend it. Go Steelers!

    Excuse me, Mr. Cole?

    That sounds like a Browns fan’s pre-game breathing exercises…

    I just come home to find that the Patriots have gone ahead late. I’m still expecting a loss here.

    And the weirdness in the GB/SD game has been ratcheted up to 11. What was a laugher has turned into a nail biter. C’mon Packers, hold onto this, would ya?

    Shouldn’t you pace yourself on the Scotch? Don’t wanna peak too soon. Sometimes the 4th quarter is worth watching from above the coffee table.

    Goddamn that was an ugly end to the Packer game. Thank you Phillip Rivers and your three picks.

    UGHHHHHHH! I’m catching up on DVR queue and the Goddamn ABC station in Dallas, keeps putting in their damn news promo at end of the shows when you get to see what’s happening on the next episode of a show. It’s really pissing me off! Is it sad that I just wanna know Who the hell do I can complain to about it?

    I hope you’re chugging some good scotch. I’m chugging some 15 yr. old Mac, but not because of the Steelers.

    OK John, here is the context for what I wrote last week–The Dispossessed:

    Sabul had nursed ten years’ resentment against the Physics Review of Ieu Eun University, which had referred to his theoretical work as “crippled by provincialism and the puerile imprecision with which Odonian dogma infects every area of thought.” “They’ll see who’s provincial now!” he said, grinning. In nearly a year’s acquaintance Shevek could not recall having seen him smile.

    This is given the big assumption that you read it. But I read it today and I realized that it might not come out as “I’m happy for you.”

    Of course given what happened this week, the Patriots may very well be the team who just aren’t very good.

    And you won’t have Tony LaRussa to kick around anymore. I didn’t forget, I just wasn’t here.

    I don’t pay attention to football. I’m more of a baseball man, and of course that’s over (it was over when SF blew it).

    …gotta say, cole: you make football sound pretty fun.

    chug scotch, exhale, pace the room…
