Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

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.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Bark louder, little dog.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

We still have time to mess this up!

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.

An update on Sanders from commentor Johannes:

Just wanted to update you on Sanders. I heard from Catherine’s colleague at the cat colony that she met with Christine, and that she and her significant other are “a WONDERFUL couple,” and that Sanders will be going to his new home this Saturday.

Thank you and all the Juicers who wrote in; have I mentioned that I. Love. This . Blog? Because I do.

And if, like me, you can’t watch the Westminster Dog Show on cable, NYMag’s Daily Intel has a great slideshow to go awwwwwww over…

    Dunno if I’ll follow the link…my mom got an unspeakably cute valentine from my cousin today, featuring a puppeh, and the cat is doing her perfect princess routine (which is interrupted by her Tasmanian she-devil episodes a few times a day) and being all awwwwwww enough for me now.

    Very glad to hear the good news about Sanders! He’s a beauty, and sounds like a sweet little guy. Hope his new life is as awesome as his previous one was dire.

    My neutered male kitty, Oscar, is at war with another neutered male who lives in our townhouse community. We have a lot of lovely landscaping, there’s a wild greenbelt right next door, and the road is far away on the other side of the parking lot: just a wonderful pocket-paradise for kitties.

    The other guy’s name is Liam, and he’s a really gorgeous, really huge B&W longish-hair. (Oscar is a slightly smaller, Siamese-colored, medium hair.) The two of them hate each other, which is so sad because they’re both awesome cats. I want to be nice to Liam but I also don’t want him hanging out in our part of the complex because this is – should be – Oscar’s territory. Then again, I have heard from the other people living here that Oscar has been known to lay down the law with other kitties (we have a LOT of cats here), so maybe turnabout is fair play.

    In re: Westminster: Wow, I didn’t know Marvin the Martian had a giant pet caterpillar. What is that thing?

    Speaking as the “significant other” in question, Christine and I will try and post pix of the little guy next week.

    @Anne Laurie: wallah, are you this stupid?
    relly?
    i fuckin’ hate the AKC.
    they have ruined all the working dog breeds and they allow inbreeding.
    father daughter matings are registerable.
    the AKC and the BKC are why there are puppy mills.

    In more happy animal news, McDonalds announced this week that they will no longer allow their pork suppliers to use gestation crates – a.k.a. living coffins – for breeding sows. Where they go, the rest of the industry will follow.

    Pigs are every bit as smart and playful as dogs – or smarter. I volunteer at a livestock sanctuary and there’s a little pig that runs around the barn at top speed getting in everyone’s business. When he’s sent into his stall for a nap, he cuddles with squeaky dog toys.

    @GeoX: I saw this commercial recently & I don’t know if you want to have him wear an eyepatch. Could wind up in a ditch…

    Awesome news. Little guy made me wish I hadn’t moved from Queens to Seattle a couple of years ago. I was getting ready to ask a bunch of my cat lovin’ friends in the Rotten Apple if they wanted another when I made it to this post.

    @Chasm: Delighted to know Sanders is in good hands, didn’t have enough info to make a more specific reference as I’ve only had intermittent email updates. Sorry if I sounded clinical.

    Warmest regards,
