Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.
People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.
I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.
Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.
Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.
The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.
Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.
If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.
They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.
Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.
We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.
This blog will pay for itself.
Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Miss Sarah may not respond. It’s snowing in Spokane as we type and her ADD is on Snowbilly Snooki overload.

Ah, I was waiting for an appropriate thread to post this: Hot Guys and Baby Animals.
It was a tough decision, but I have to go with Billy Ray and Georgia as my favorites (EW’s photo gallery starts here).

@Yutsano: It may only delay the inevitable by a week, but how about them Cougs Yuts? That it may end up sending Denny shuffling off to the Old Coach’s Home makes it even sweeter, and the Spokane folk have a local boy to cheer for at quarterback, provided nobody breaks him in half.
Yutsano
@Comrade Nimrod Humperdink: This game gave the Cougs three viable QB choices. That has to be giving the two remaining defensive coordinators heartburn. Me personally I’m loving it. I had a feeling this team was a lot better than our record states. Defense needs MASSIVE work though.
Also: This was an emotional game for us. Steve Gleason raised the flag at the start. I refuse to discount the inspiration factor.
(also too: FYWP)
Comrade Nimrod Humperdink
@Yutsano: Ugh, the defense, the defense… The defense cost us the UCLA game. And I’m still mystified by what I saw in Seattle against the Beavs. Seriously mystified. Of all the teams that we SHOULD have matched up well with in the whole league, THAT was the one. I dunno. College ball is whacky. I thought Stanford’s defense was gonna play better tonight too. Oh well, it looks like Mr Pickens will get his chance to buy a championship and beat Uncle Phil to it.
Anne Laurie
@Yutsano: Didn’t expect an immediate response; hope Ms. Sarah will see this eventually, and be amused. (The Spousal Unit is suppposed to be stripping this pc down & “refreshing” everything, which from past experience means I’ll lose all my bookmarks and an unpredictable number of amuse-bouche links will vanish forever.)
Yutsano
@Comrade Nimrod Humperdink: Tuel wasn’t ready to come back. Period. Did you see him do anything but hold a clipboard tonight? That was NOT accidental. Not sure where the Lobstah is though.
Comrade Nimrod Humperdink
@Yutsano: It’s a shame Tuel lost a medical hardship shot. But if Halliday keeps playing like THIS, fall camp next year will be interesting to say the least, no matter who the coach is.

I don’t know if anyone is still awake but it looks like police are beginning their attack on Occupy Portland:

@Mnemosyne: The animals are so cute and the guys are hot. Normally I give my son’s SO a gift certificate for xmas, I’m thinking of adding this calendar this year. Appropriate or not, she might enjoy the little animals.

It is not a coincidence that the people most mired in delusion and denial prefer to be told elaborate fantasies that keep them from realizing just that.

@amk:
Haha, OK, now I understand the origins of the currently hot Twitter hashtag #OReillyLincolnErrors; shoulda known BillO was back to doing some authorinating again. TBogg and others have been having a lot of fun with that.

@sharl: Yes, twitterdom was running away with it whole of yesterday. What a pompous prick.

For now Occupy Portland is still in control of their parks, despite the 12:01 deadline set by Mayor Adams and Police Chief Reese.
By my guess there were 10k people there at midnight. Two and a half city blocks of park as well as the sidewalks across the streets were packed. A few hundred bicyclists circled the area all night.
Around 2:00 or so the crowd took control of 3rd Ave and Main St, even though the crowd started thinning out. By the time I left I’d guess there were still 3-4k people there.
The police were basically just hanging out at the street corners before midnight. After that they formed a perimeter, but never did much else. There was some vain attempt to hold 3rd with a line of mounted cops, but they just turned back after a few minutes. Some jackass threw a firework at the officers, but I was too far away to see anything besides that.
It was a remarkable and peaceful event. Is, actually, since it’s ongoing. Live stream is here. Fuck CNN and fuck Fox. Goodnight.
WereBear
@Baron Jrod of Keeblershire: Thank you for the update! They were much in my thoughts last night.
This sounds like the best possible outcome; such a show of solidarity that the forces of oppression stayed their hand.

The OWS people are making the 1% nervous. It wasn’t supposed to go on this long.

Not knowing anything about 300 I was gobsmacked by this video — and what you said is ezackly what I thought.

I couldn’t go to sleep because things started going down on the livestream of Occupy Portland.
The police politely asked protestors to vacate 3rd ave and open traffic. (Well, you know, polite enough for cops. There was a threat of getting bean bagged if they hadn’t.) The occupiers did so.
Riot police then lined up across from the parks on Main St (which runs between the two occupied parks) for a few minutes. Then the police put away their clubs and broke their line as a cheer went up from the crowd.
“This is what victory looks like” was chanted, and its true. As the police themselves went back to their cars or the sidewalks, the occupiers gave them a round of applause. Yes, the occupiers cheered the police.
This is an incredibly inspiring scene. But I seriously need to get to sleep.
Victory with no casualties. Now watch every news channel talk about near-riots. Sounds like Portland did a lot better than Denver.

Heh. Didn’t realize I had added a “1” when I posted that comment. I had just come over from posting football picks at Big Guy.
