Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

People are weird.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

American history and black history cannot be separated.

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

Hot air and ill-informed banter

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

    Rush, via TPM:

    “My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir,” Limbaugh says in the statement. “I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke my advertisers for the insulting word choices.”

    Did you ever let us know the cost? I intended to contribute toward it, but missed any updates.

    …as I suspect you won’t fix a damn thing. Image links will still happen across the length of the page, chronological posts will still randomly not work. Misc. shit like the theme going away will still randomly happen.

    I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit? In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone’s bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.

    This is infuriating because the issue is what your freaking private insurer pays, versus your co-pay, not what the government pays. God. These people get away with murder.

    I guess advertisers pulling out of his show made Rush finally issue a not so apologetic apology.

    Republicans are incapable of ‘getting it’ as Capn Ed proves once again. There is no true remorse for Limbaugh’s limp apology, it was done for political necessity only. Period. These fuckers really do believe that all liberal woman are sluts, and they are totally unable to separate the policy activism, of a Ms Fluke, from their own sordid imaginations.

    I think Rush did the right thing in apologizing to Fluke. However, let’s keep in mind that it was Fluke who made her sexual activity a matter of national political debate by insisting that the government pass laws and regulations forcing employers and insurers to provide her free contraception, and apparently as much as she and others demand.

    I thought the issues with the site were just issues with my new computer. Glad to know it’s not me.

    @Birthmarker:
    Doesn’t change the fact that he called Ms. Fluke a slut and a prostitute. Rush, stop digging.

    The site has been loading really quickly today for me.

    Just as long as they don’t take away the “we survived Breitbarcolypse” tag. That shit’s funny and it’s even funnier now that Breitbart is dead.

    @Yutsano: We dithered, and another family scooped up the hound next door.

    We’re still considering talking to the rescuers later in the summer. We’ve got a bunch of trips, business and personal, scheduled between now and mid-July. Not the best time to introduce a dog to the family.

    Particularly not to Quinn, who disapproves.

    @General Stuck (Bravo Nope Zero): The woman was talking about a friend, I thought. Needing pills for a medical condition. I certainly haven’t listened to her entire testimony, I admit. More Republican obfuscation. But I guess it will be deemed half true.

    One does wonder, though, who made the phone call that Rush couldn’t refuse. Or maybe it was wife number 4 bringing the hammer down. (Doubt that.)

    in the attempt to be humorous

    “Did you hear Rush called Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute? Hahahaha! Comic genius!”
    When will he apologize to himself for apologizing?

    @Birthmarker:

    My guess would be Dick Cheney made the call. Probably the only person half alive that could skeer Rush enough to fall on his rubber sword for the team.

    Wow. Upset Saturday. After #1 Wisconsin lost to Duluth last night, they fell behind Cornell. The Badgers regained the top spot when St. Lawrence upset the Big Red. Mercyhurst lost the CHA title for the first time ever, to Robert Morris. In Hockey East, both top seeds lost their semifinal game.

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like both SLU and either BU or Providence grabbing autobids is going to be enough to keep North Dakota out of the NCAA tournament. And I really hope the Gophers buck the upset trend tonight. I would absolutely loathe losing the WCHA playoff crown to Duluth in their building. Of course, I don’t want to blow them out like we did the Fighting Whioux last night, because they’ll start injuring people out of spite.

    Someone’s probably already mentioned this, but recently when I’ve visited BJ on my phone, I’ve gotten the full site rather than the mobile version.

    @R-Jud: That may be a blessing in disguise. Puppeh choices do take a lot of thought and consideration even if you do fall in wuv right away. Plus I’m certain Bean will want full input into the decision making process. Just don’t let her go too crazy at the shelter. Otherwise you’ll need a bigger yard. :)

    John,

    Why not ask the seriously techy people saving the web blog to esplain what they be proposing to do?

    Then those of us with the knack will be able to comment with a real background, ‘stead of eye o’ newt, boil and bubble, etc.

    I second J.R.‘s suggestion that you crowdsource this b/c you have a bunch of people here willing to help your team for free because they like the site

    At least tell folks what you’re trying to do so they can give you feedback on what it looks like from our end
