Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

This really is a full service blog.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Maybe you would prefer that we take Joelle’s side in ALL CAPS?

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Books are my comfort food!

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

It could be worse. Vance could have said “post-menopausal sows.” Waiting for that audiotape to surface.

    @schrodinger’s cat:
    Easy.

    I went by a LaRouche table yesterday and they wanted me to impeach Obama. I said no and then they asked me if I like Richard Cheney. I didn’t answer.
    They won’t get many converts being nasty, unless they rope in some Rush fans.

    Aren’t eyes miraculous in a way we can’t explain?. How one moment we see someone and know they are just gazing, and a moment later know they are now staring intently?

    Today we get out Christmas tree. Another great thing about the PNW is Christmas trees are very inexpensive. We are going to a lot that sells Noble firs for $10 any size. We cut or they do it for us.

    You know bacon? The kind with maple?

    The maple kind, yeah?

    Guess what I did with it?

    What?

    I ate it!

    Ooooo noooooooo!!

    His ears are definitely more attractive than Megan McArdle’s. At least they’re proportional to his head.

    @Maude: Nobles make the perfect christmas tree. For an 8 ft Noble I will pay $10 but for that same tree back east it would cost over $100. At least it did 15 years ago when I used to live there.

    After reading about Senate Republicans likely blocking the confirmation of our current recessed-appointed Ambassador to El Salvador, it got me thinking how many truly talented, competent people they’ve blocked during Obama’s term.

    Off the top of my head, Dawn Johnson(OLC), Dr. Peter Diamond(Fed), Elizabeth Warren(CFPB), Richard Cordray(CFPB), Caitlan Halligan(Circuit Court), Goodwin Liu(Circuit Court), Dr. Don Berwick(Head Centers for Medicare/Medicaid). There are more judicial and executive nominees that withdrew themselves from consideration after waiting months for a vote that never came, but I can’t recall there names.

    This should be a huge scandal, but the media continues to pretend it is business as usual. Hell, Politico is actively rationalizing their behavior. We’re doomed.

    @Southern Beale: The only question I can answer is the spam one. There is so much spam because there are enough stupid, gullible, twisted people in the world that it makes the spammers a ton of money.

    The dogs and I go to the farmer’s market on Saturday where I buy them marrow bones. I give them one each to keep the lil one from yapping while I go shopping. I take the rest home, freeze em and then have them for the cycle the following Saturday. Alas, next week is the last day until April so the frozen stash will have to last.

    @Maude: Nobles are beautiful trees and their needles are relatively soft, but as they dry out, a branch will unzip all its needles at once. Hilarious.

    I was thinking ’bout DougJ’s hip hop thread from earlier in the week. Did anyone mention Souls of Mischief? 93 til’ Infinity was an awesome track.

    I finally got my gigantic box of foreign marlboros.

    w00t. No more $90 cartons for me (fucking nanny state cig taxes are regressive as hell)

    Libby's person

    I’ve been experiencing that pleading stare for two days. Libby’s got an upset gut, and she wasn’t allowed to eat anything solid for a full 24 HOURS, and then she only got a little rice and boiled chicken. Those big, sad eyes – “Did you forget to feed me, or are you deliberately starving me to death? Did I do something wrong, or are you (my beloved human) just a mean, evil being? Oh, woe!” She’s does ‘pathetic’ very well when suitably motivated. Sigh.

    Aww! MAX!

    Now if John would just share a picture of his big, warm furry pile of purring shmoo instead of just bragging about it on Twitter.

    @Comrade Mary: Ah, I didn’t have too terrible of a childhood. My dad never forgave himself for accepting 48 hour turnaround orders though. I know how to move fast. That could be why my house doesn’t have a lot of stuff.
