Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.
It’s the corruption, stupid.
Let’s not be the monsters we hate.
One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.
No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.
You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.
In after Baud. Damn.
They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.
It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!
The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.
We are aware of all internet traditions.
How stupid are these people?
The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris
Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.
Finding joy where we can, and muddling through where we can’t.
An almost top 10,000 blog!
The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.
“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”
A fool as well as an oath-breaker.
Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.
You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.
I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing.
Shut up, hissy kitty!

Happy New Year everyone. I’m glad I missed all the excitement yesterday. I pretty much stayed on Tom Levenson’s thread, which was delightfully troll-free.

Well, it is an open thread. And I missed the flame wars last night…

Happy New Year, Alla Ya!
(Just think how much snarky fun the 2012 GOP primaries will give!)

I think the migraine that seemed to be looming is actually a sinus headache — yay?
I would probably be looking forward to 2012 more if both my dad and my father-in-law weren’t chronically ill. (Dad, COPD and kidney failure; FiL, cancer.) I’m dreading losing one of them in 2012.

I wouldn’t be doing my self-appointed job if I didn’t link to the Guardian on the final day of the year. For your amusement and edification then, here is the “News Quiz of the Year 2011”:
guardian.co.uk/world/quiz/2011/dec/26/news-quiz-of-the-year-2011
(I scored an A- bond rating, having answered incorrectly every single question on social media, not at all surprising for this Luddite.)
A bountiful and healthy New Year to one and all here! “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night” (all 366 of them). Skoal!

@Mnemosyne:
Would rather have a sinus headache than a migraine.
Dad and FIL getting up there in years? If so, they’ve lived long, happy lives. Hopefully the end will not be painful, that’s the best you can hope for with conditions like those.
Courage.

Brick Oven Bill v. 4.6.1 seems to have been programed with Ron Paul’s newsletters.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Year filled with lots of fun, laughter, and recess appointments.

@Mnemosyne: So sorry to hear. MIL dealing with cancer this past fall. And then, we can never relax.

I love this place. Blessings to all of you in the New Year and always. Have a safe evening. If you don’t have a DD, do your drinking in a place close enough to crawl home.

@Mnemosyne:
Very sorry to hear that. I hope they (and you) are able to heal in a meaningful way, whatever the outcome.
Busy day for me today, so I’ll wish everyone a happy new year right now.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year. Hope everyone experiencing painful events finds a place of peace and rest for their souls/hearts.

If it wasn’t for B. Juice I’d have to argue with myself, and what fun would that be?
Thanks for all the bickering, ‘juicers. Have a prosperous new year.

I was afraid you were going to link to the King William’s College quiz!

Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy! It takes so little to please me…

Just did a boil/quick soak on the black eyed peas for tomorrow. Don’t forget to eat 365 of them!

In the last two weeks my employer lost a cardiac surgeon in a helicopter crash, and my VERY favorite cardiologist died of pancreatic cancer one week after diagnosis. Sucks.

@Kola Noscopy:
Happy New Year. I have it written on my palm to eat the 365.

Missed the flame wars last night. Too busy burning in my new computer and setting up/playing Star Wars The Old Republic.
Apropos of nothing–the Quantico Marine Corps Base Brig, made famous by its mistreatment of PFC Bradley Manning, is set to close as a cost-cutting measure.

Forecast calls for stiff and spicy Bloody Marys and grilled snausages during the day, w/ intermittent naps. Remaining indoors recommended.

@Mnemosyne:
Sorry to hear that. It’s never easy. Hope things go well for you and yours this year. We’re worried about my MIL who’s just fading, fading. Fingers crossed that we all have as much time as possible together.

My fave, too: my wife couldn’t believe it (Really? It’s Charlie Sheen, why not?) and made me change the answer.

being older and sometimes crankier than most of you I assure one and all a Happy New Year from my pillow…unless my neighbors have firecrackers.

@Soonergrunt: More likely it’s set to close as a COVER UP THAT GOES TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE GOVERNMENT! And only Jane “Scooby” Hamsher and Glenn “Shaggy” Greenwald can figure it out!

Happy New Year, y’all. This place helps keep me sane. And I’m guaranteed at least one good belly laugh a day.
