Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

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

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

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

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

The revolution will be supervised.

In my day, never was longer.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

    Keep getting in their faces, just like they have been getting into ours.

    Shove it down their throats until they choke, then shove it down some more.

    I missed the story about the Bruins’ goalie, but I think it worked out best for everyone that he wasn’t there.

    Off topic: I was born and raised in Cincinnati and, being on the Mason Dixon Line and nearing 50 years old, as a youngster I was exposed to great radio from Blue Grass to Motown and a lot of national pop in between. Given that, anyone ever noticed how President Obama looks curiously like a young Bobby Bare the country singer?

    Like Tim Thomas is going to vote for Obama now. Democrats need to figure out how to be more inclusive.

    Yeah, the government ought to stick to it’s real business of subsidizing the construction of sports venues. Wingnut self awareness fail.

    Your courageous police at work, collar desperado.

    (CBS News) MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – A six-year-old kindergarten student who threw a tantrum was placed in handcuffs for her safety, police said.

    She was crying in the principal’s office at Creekside Elementary before police arrived Friday. The report says when the officer tried to calm the child, she resisted.
    She was handcuffed and taken to the police station, where she was charged with simple assault and damage to property, reports WMAZ correspondent Judy Le.

    Can’t ya just smell the chickenshit in Georgia. Smells like VICTORY!

    You just know this is the sort of sheit he did not want to be dealing with…but it comes with the territory and he deserved it.

    Too bad Washington couldn’t generate a little bit more offence.

    I lost a few brain cells reading this:

    Almost everyone I spoke to for this story—from within NBC and at other networks as well—agree that that problem is that she won’t talk about the one thing that makes her undeniably compelling. How did it feel to be Chelsea Clinton during the Monica years? In the past, she’s responded angrily to that question. “It’s none of your business,” she told an audience after being questioned about it on the 2008 campaign trail.

    Christ, who the fuck still cares about Monica Lewinsky?

    Until she’s willing to answer the Monica question, or any real question—to finally open her soul to public view, paying the required tribute to the media gods, to have her Oprah moment —it’s unlikely she’ll be given a warm public embrace.

    I’m getting tired of waiting for that asteroid to put an end to us.

    @General Stuck: I was trolling Yahoo all day on this one. People are fascists. Anyone want to guess the race of the child involved? No, I’m not offering a bet because it’s too damn predictable.

    Awesome, and the game was actually pretty close. Thomas let in a soft one or two as well uncharacteristically. He was really pissed after the Ovie breakaway goal, kicked the puck etc. Keep it up Caps fans it’s getting to him.

    Goodness, I can’t believe that I was so late to the “Always Sunny In Philadelphia” train. I’ve been watching past eps on FX and saw this one last night, and I’m sorry, but this scene made me LOL!!!! I’m still giggling.

    Gonna have to catch the past ep on Netflix if it’s there

    It’s Always Sunny…”He’s A Bear

    It so right now, but I’m still laughing.

    Speaking of hockey, Raffi Torres continues this year’s playoff shenanigans with a blatant charge and hit to Marian Hossa’s head. Wow.

    @General Stuck:
    The kindergarten principal called the cops because one six-year-old girl threw a tantrum? Wow. How do they keep all those other kids under control? That kindergarten must be a riot just waiting to happen.

    The Caps fans are thinking kind of small. They should throw copies of Obama’s birth certificate the next time Timmy allows a goal.

    Would also accept using “Cat Scratch Fever” ironically as a goal song, though i imagine the “Free Citizen” likes Ted.

    @Kristine: The Hawks have no reason not to bury these chumps now. Time to play.

    Hockey playoffs are awesome.

    And if we had a cycling front pager here we could get some posts on the Classics season. Last weekend’s Paris-Roubaix was amazing. If you don’t watch these races that run throughout the spring and end before the Grand Tours start, you are really missing out. By “you” I mean everyone here….

    @efgoldman: Yeah, with the dough they can build more highways and hire more cops. Perfect.

    Hope they do move to QC. That’s a great town. The only real drawback is that it’s full of Quebeckers…..

    @BGinCHI: I’ve followed pro cycling since Merckx, so you’re preaching to the choir, but damn if you don’t need a PhD in pharmacology to follow it intelligently.

    I also long for the days when a guy could win throughout the season, not like these specialists.

    Get offa my damn lawn, too.

    Since this is a sports-themed open thread, I await Mr. Cole’s reaction to the Steelers’ tribute to Bee Man from The Simpsons. I am referring to, of course, Pittsburgh’s new throwback uniforms, of which you can see a sneak peek in this Flickr set.

    @Odie Hugh Manatee: “Keep getting in their faces, just like they have been getting into ours.”

    This!

    Pat Buchanan told Nixon that “If we break the country in half, we get the bigger half”
    Wingnuts have lived by this credo for 40 years

    But, there are 4 things that they need to learn
    1 It’s no longer true
    2 The new bigger half now hates you as much as you hate them
    3 When you push people, don’t be surprised if they push you back, “learned helplessness” is bullshit
    4 Boston sports radio is a nice sheltered environment for the wingnut to let his freak flag fly, but try it around the office watercooler and you wont find an amen chorus

    @Mickey: The Bruins’ GWG was on yet another missed offsides call. NHL officiating is trying to make the pre-war Iraq intelligence look good.

    There was another sign I liked with a picture of Obama with “Tim Thomas? Whatever, Bro…”

    Tim Thomas has no problem making his money in stadiums built with taxpayer money.

    He also has no problem playing with a group of guys who have come to this country to take jobs…high paying jobs that kids dream about having some day…from Americans.

    Tim Thomas is a raging douchebag, but all the same, go Bruins.

    Also, I can’t wait to heckle Luke Scott when the Rays come to town.

    Eh, athletes. Can’t really get worked up about it. Ted Nugent either. There’s people in the Senate right now dumber than Thomas and Nugent put together. I’ll save my anger for them.

    Ahhh, the testy Bruins fans. Yes! Boston beat the Caps at the Verizon. But that is a fantastic, classic hockey fan razz and it’s shit like that that makes hockey so awesome. Big props to the great Caps blog Russian Machine Never Breaks for bringing the funny and coordinating the effort.

    @Jager: Always good to talk about the Bruins here on the left coast. Your grand daughter has excellent taste in schools, the bike ride’s pretty impressive too.

    Was typing from my phone earlier, but this is the blog post that got the Let’s Razz Tim Thomas Because Hockey Fans Razz meme started, courtesy of the excellent Caps blog Russian Machine Never Breaks. Don’t miss the invaluable Obama Approval vs. Tim Thomas Save Percentage graph.

    They do excellent hockey blogging over there and they’re not getting enough credit, so here’s me doing my part.

    Also too, how can you not love a blog called Russian Machine Never Breaks, you commies?

    @BGinCHI: Hey I’ve got a combo like that — Berkeley BA for me, Berkeley PhD for husband, daughter at U of C (a nominal Cubs fan even though she is on the South Side) and the boy will be a freshman at UCLA this fall. Big bears and little bears all around. And nothing in RED.

    RadioOne

    I’ll start hating on Tim Thomas the minute he quits the Bruins and starts a career as Fox News political pundit. Till then, he’s still an astounding athlete and I’ll root for him and for the Boston Bruins to win another Stanley Cup this year.

    @Amir Khalid:

    LULz.

    Sad thing is, this has probably happened before down there in Peach State land. And elsewhere. Just no reporters around for the previous incidents.

    A school with (allegedly) adult teachers and staff can’t deal with one little kid throwing a tantrum? WTF?

  78. 78.

    Someguy

    The nice thing about being a Penguins fan is you get to see John’s favorite epithet – “I’d like to throat punch him” – in action just about every game. Hair pulling, head shots to guys who are laying on the ice dazed… Classy, classy, classy.

  79. 79.

    Chinn Romney

    I’m not surprised that Cole is a Caps fan. Repeated cross-checks to the head from the likes of Ovechkin and Backstrom? Sounds right up the alley for anyone who is also fond of Crosby, who likes to punch guys in the back of the head while they’re down on the ground.

    And when the Penguins season ends we can always look forward to the offseason antics of Big Ben. Yup, Pittsburg fairly reeks of class.

  80. 80.

    JenJen

    @Chinn Romney: If you know anything about him, it’s pretty laughable to think Cole is a Caps fan. Read the title of the post again and think about it.

    I, on the other hand, am a Caps fan. So bring it!!

    @Frapalinger:

    We’ll see Thomas on Doomsday Preppers in 10 years.

    5 years. :-)
