Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Since we are repeating ourselves, let me just say fuck that.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

American history and black history cannot be separated.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

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

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

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

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

We do not need to pander to people who do not like what we stand for.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

    Go Sharkies.

    Amazing win last night! Woot. Of course now that they’re supposed to not do anything this post season, they’ll probably win the whole thing.

    btw I posted an article in the last NHL tread that I think got et. Or at least I never could find it being posted.

    It’s sort of sweet actually and lately I feel like I need some sweetness.

    Ok, now it’s time for hockey.

    Duke blows out top-ranked Virginia, 13-5. Hope you got to watch, Cole.

    @tulip:

    I’ve become a huge fan of Rusanowsky considering I can’t get the Flyers on radio up here and I agree with you, maybe being the 7 seed means they will win it all. (Flyers are a 7 seed as well) and I always cheer for anyone playing a Pittsburgh team no matter the sport. Fuck Pittsburgh (‘cept for Strange)

    Hate them both, hate the Pens the most though!!!

    Hope I don’t have to apologize for saying something bad about the Pens:)

    I told Veritas that Mitt would pur his foot in his mouth again sometime this weekend, and then everyone would forget about not-from-the-Obama-campaign Hilary Rosen’s not-really-a-gaffe. That rich Mormon fool had better not fail me.

    @Dennis:

    I feel so dirty rooting for the Flyers.

    You should. That’s almost as bad as rooting for the gaddam Tarheels.

    Rooting for former Kings Brayden Schenn, Andreas Lilja, and the Meat Train Wayne Simmonds in this one. Though I also like former King and Pittsburgh head coach Dan Bylsma.

    But more importantly hoping my Kings go up 2-0 on Vancouver later tonight. Mike Richards is an absolute beast. Time for Anze Kopitar to learn some playoff lessons from him.

    @MikeJ: Haa! Y’know, I don’t even care. I am surprised they got in as #4 seed, but I don’t follow it. Some of the scooter gang are into it Big Time, though. The only Preds game I “attended” was when a friend’s band was playing one of the intermissions, and he asked me to videotape it. I was there for their set, and gone right after.

    How fitting that it is Jagr who gives the Flyer’s their 1st regulation lead of the series.

    Fork at the ready. Penguins are done. Steve Sullivan burned for at least two goals tonight.

    Coutourier! Giroux! Clouseau! Cousteau!

    Allons enfants de la Patrie, Arise,
    Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
    Contre nous de la tyrannie, Against us stands tyranny
    L’étendard sanglant est levé,
    Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
    Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
    Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
    Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes !

    really? The more I have watched and listened to hockey, the worse he has sounded as a broadcaster to me. He’s almost always way behind the play on the ice, and he has some ways of saying things that get on my nerves.

    When asked about Sean Couturier, Jagr said, “let’s not forget he’s got to play against the best player in the league, Evgeni Malkin.” Wait untill they hear that in Pittsburg.

    @The prophet Nostradumbass: Aint a broadcaster who ever slapped on a headset who hasn’t been behind the play, nature of the biz and all that.

    Plus, I follow the Sharks on radio and Roozie along with Baker’s Canadian oos and boots you almost care.

    I feel your pain, Penguin fans (buff bills fan myself). Sickening as a fan to see what should be a stronger team get shellacked.

    Interesting to see Crosby get in on the fighting, though.
