Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

The willow is too close to the house.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

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

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

He really is that stupid.

I was promised a recession.

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,
