Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

I really should read my own blog.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

We still have time to mess this up!

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

    @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.

    @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.

    @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.

    @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: 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.

    @amk: When will the fucking voters ever learn that right wingers will always fuck you?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
