Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

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

Let me file that under fuck it.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

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

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

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

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

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

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Petty moves from a petty man.

    How is it possible to listen to a song 800 times and still love it? Still not get tired of it? ” … my old friend.” Michelle Shocked. “Anchorage.” ***SIGH***

    Oh, I love this song! I’ve got “Short, Sharp, Shocked” on a cassette tape in some box somewhere. Picked it up in a bargain bin and just fell in love with it. Especially this song.

    Since my grandfather was a coal miner her version of “The L&N Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore” is my second favorite behind this one.

    I was born and raised at the mouth of the Hazard Holler
    Where the coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
    But now they stand in a rusty road of all empties
    Because the L & N don’t stop here anymore

    @Steeplejack:

    Yes, my favorite song of hers, too.

    Loved it the very first time I heard it (over 20 years ago) and love it still.

    Sweet, wonderful artist.

    First heard her live at the long-defunct Rockin’ Horse Saloon in Scottsdale (also over 20 years ago) and several times since. In fact, she was just here (Phoenix) at The Rhythm Room a few weeks back.

    Always very engaging with the audience.

    @Steeplejack: GREAT song. For me, it knocked Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.” out of the top spot for L.A. songs. She’s done a couple of benefit shows for the progressive nonprofit my wife works for, so I got to meet her and talk to her for a few minutes. No big surprise: She’s nice, sincere, and intensely devoted to doing good.

    Have this album on vinyl, one of many I am slowly converting to digital. This weeks choice for conversion is Scruffy the Cat, “Moons of Jupiter.”
