Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

The willow is too close to the house.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

The revolution will be supervised.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

Hey, this is Paddy from the Political Carnival. My brother and his wife in Ohio work with a group callled Muttly Crue saving dogs, specializing in Pit Bulls. Wiley is six months old and saved from the Cleveland Kennel 24 hours before he was to be put down for no other reason than he was abandoned and he was a pit bull. They have two other smaller dogs and two pits that Wiley (aka Frodo) gets along marvelously with. He was just neutered today, is up on shots, crate trained, house broken and micro chipped. Love to cuddle and LOVES to play. I’d take him in a heart beat but I’m just not up to the work a young dog demands. Bro said he’d be willing to drive as far as my home (5 hours away) to get Wiley to his forever home, so if you’re within a 5 hour radius of southeast Cleveland, give this love muffin a gander.

If you’re interested, or know someone who might be, contact me at AnneLaurie @ verizon.net (or click on my name in the Contact list to the right) and I’ll pass you message along.

    What a beautiful dog… sigh. I’d love to take him, but I’ve got two already skittish cats. Hope someone can step up to the plate for this fella.

    Wow, now that’s a face! But, sadly, I’m a thousand miles away from Cleveland and we already feel overrun and outnumbered with three cats in the house.

    He’s adorable! I hope he finds his forever home soon. He looks like he’d be tons of fun.

    Oh. My. Bob. I would adopt that bubba in a heart beat. What a face! Someone, come adopt this wonderful dog.

    Not dog related but putting it here for the lack of an open thread. Hubcat’s father had a massive heart attack, he is still in a critical condition in the ICU, his heart is still not pumping enough blood. He is 70.

    Awwww! Wiley is a brown version of my Riley! Riley looks just like him, only black and white. Wish I had room for a fourth dog, but 3 plus 7 cats means we’re full-up ..

    @Amir Khalid: Thanks! Apparently he is lucid and talking but his heart is not pumping enough blood, and his kidneys are not functioning despite the angioplasty. I am not a medical doctor neither do I play one on TV so I don’t know what all this means.

    @JWL: Lived in Miami (Coconut Grove and the Gables) in the 70’s and 80’s with a 6 year break to go to college in Grand Rapids, Michigan for college and stuff, after that back here to Michiana. Other than late night hot xes phone lines in the early 90’s, that’s pretty much all the ways you might know me.

    @Anya: Seriously, no blood, no broken nose, no gash on the back of the head, no bruises, NOTHING. So where are all the WRNJ’s now going to say that Zimmerman was the victim?

    @Anya:

    THIS is exactly what i was begging for an open thread for!!

    ABC News has posted a police surveillance video, showing George Zimmerman on the night he killed Trayvon Martin — and Zimmerman is very obviously not injured at all. Certainly no broken nose, and no visible injuries to his head, despite the recent claims by police that he was punched in the nose by Trayvon and had his head bashed into the pavement.

    @schrodinger’s cat: hopeful thoughts for a medical solution for your parent-in-law. After my recent experiences have taught me one rule to live by, trite but it doesn’t make it any less valid: plan for the worst, hope for the best.

    @Litlebritdifrnt: Not even dirt on the back of his jacket. Do you think Faux News will show this video? How about Tucker Carlson’s vanity website — would they give it the same prominence they gave to the tweets of a dead 17-year old? I wonder if Drudge would use his famous sirens?

  35. 35.

    @Anya:

    My only question is, is this definitively from the night of the shooting? There’s no timestamp on the video, and what we assume is Zimmerman doesn’t match appearance-wise the 7 year old mug shot the News has been running during this whole fiasco.

    I am eagerly awaiting Sanford PD’s response to this video, because if it’s legit, they are up a creek.

    @Raven: i feel like if you post ‘important’ things — things that should be reposted on the FP — in a non-designated “open thread” that FPers that could take notice seem to skim, ignore, or not read comments all that well in these ‘non OT’ threads. not to mention the discussion, and users, of Pet Posts are not the liveliest bunch of BJers on things like injustice.

    @Anya:
    LGF has more now:

    It’s getting worse, too: Funeral Director: No Injuries on Trayvon’s Hands.

    The funeral director who prepared Trayvon Martin’s body for burial told HLN’s Nancy Grace Wednesday that he did not see any cuts or bruises on the teen’s hands that would have been indicative of a struggle with George Zimmerman, the man who shot and killed the Florida teen.

    Richard Kurtz of Roy Mizell and Kurtz Funeral Home in Fort Lauderdale said there appeared to be a gunshot wound in Martin’s upper chest area, but he received the body after the autopsy was completed so it was difficult to tell whether he had other injuries. He also could not determine the bullet’s entry or exit point.

    “As for his hands and knuckles, I didn’t see any evidence he had been fighting anybody,” Kurtz said. …

    While Kurtz is not a forensics expert, the funeral director said he has handled the bodies of many homicide victims in his career. This case in particular affected him as he learned more about what happened to Martin and how the case was handled.

    “I think the police investigation was the most unprofessional one I’ve ever seen in my lifetime,” Kurtz said.

    @handy: right. This shouldn’t have been left to question for the FUNERAL DIRECTOR, it should have been cleanly noted in the autopsy done by the FORENSIC SPECIALISTS.

    They’ve been doing it on CSI for 20 years. Surely, no one is gonna tell me defensive/offensive injuries on a dead body is only fiction now?

    but yea, in all seriousness, the whole thing stinks to high hell.

    @mark:

    “I think the police investigation was the most unprofessional one I’ve ever seen in my lifetime,” Kurtz said.

    It’s as though they didn’t care whether this guy was guilty of a cold blooded crime. Every single police officer who was part of this travesty should be relieved of his/her duties.

    @schrodinger’s cat:

    I’m so sorry to hear all this! It’s wonderful that he’s awake and lucid, but very sad that the cardiac tissue is damaged to the point that the kidneys are also suffering.

    I am also not a doctor, but I’ve worked on a cardiac floor long enough to be sadly familiar with this scenario. If it’s still feeling overwhelming and you’re getting too much jargon and technical details, you might try asking your nurse for a good chat sometime when things settle down (usually evenings are calmest, after 8 pm when everyone goes to sleep)

    @piratedan: Thanks PirateDan, the worst part is that all this is happening thousands of miles away and I can’t be there for my husband, since I am here in Massachusetts.

    Police fucking up investigations is sadly all too common. I hate to say this, but most police departments outside of major cities are usual yokels and often white trash. These people often can’t tie their fucking shoes on. Major metropolitan areas have their own police issues (they are competent but often crooked as fuck) but they are less prone to utterly fuck something up.

    The feds are involved now and for all their issues they are competent.

    It also seems a LOT of this was the DA. I dunno how many of you have been through the legal system but DA’s do not like taking cases they can’t win. Losses are bad for them. If they think it won’t stand they’ll let it fly. We were droping stencils and bombing (street art and graffiti) and pretty much got caught red handed. We booked, they had our prints, plus a pretty good cause to assume we were the ones that cut the locks to get in. But as our faces could not be seen on camera because we wore things to hide them, and just shut up, it got tossed, not worth the hassle.

    It seems that DA’s just aren’t pushing cases invovling shootings because of the SYG law and how much it allows.

    DA’s don’t like losing, period.

    @BonnyAnne: Thanks BonnyAnne, I will pass this along. Sister-in-Law is a pathologist, and she has been the go-between the family and the doctors. I am sure it is still pretty overwhelming.

    it’s even harder when you can’t be there in person! Makes a hard situation feel even harder.

    There are always options, some more palatable and some scarier-sounding than others. Hopefully you will all get plenty of time to process the options, and get all your questions answered in a way that actually makes sense. All my sympathies!

    My earlier comment is in moderation b/c I can’t type my email address properly. I’m an idiot.

    Love that pic of the pup. He looks so happy. Well done to the folks who saved him.

    What a gorgeous creature. For a split second, I thought Ibizan Hound and had my fingers already to dial someone I know who courses them. Gol dang it. Not that a pit wouldn’t course, it probably would, hers is just not the best home for Wiley. doG speed you to a forever home, Mr. Wiley. It’s clear you have more love to give than you know what to do with. There is surely someone out there who needs you.

    Look at that face! If I didn’t already have my hands full with the one I’ve got and if I lived anywhere near Cleveland, I’d snatch this little guy up.
