Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Their shamelessness is their super power.

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

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

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

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

Celebrate the fucking wins.

In my day, never was longer.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

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

This blog will pay for itself.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Come on, man.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

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

    My question is why can’t Bristol just use the pill like 99% of women her age and leave us out of it.

    Don’t forget your Mötley Crüe t-shirt. You know, all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail.

    (I think my iPad autocorrected to put the umlaut over the o in Mötley!)

    Looking at the images, I thought, “ah, Dead Milkmen, Dead Kennedys, and Orly Taitz.”

    I have these LP’s in my record bin.

    Along with many 12 inch singles. (That phrase used to be a personal ad….)

    Consider that…………..

    I went out with Jello’s sister a couple of times in college. She was a cool girl from Boulder.

    My wife and I can’t pass a Camaro without breaking out in ‘bitchin’ camaro…’ Thankfully there are quite few here in the OC.

    Our kids think we’re insane. They have no style.

    What would really round out this sequence is… “Take the Skinheads Bowling.”

    And all this time I was under the impression you only liked Styx, Kansas, Foreigner, REO, you know, that kind of crap.

    I got to see the DKs once, probably on one of their last tours (’85 or ’86) at the Varsity Theatre in Palo Alto, CA. In terms of musicianship, they were miles ahead of any of the other punk bands of the time.

    Wow. I was really into these three bands back in 7th grade (85′) and they are still on my ipod to this day. Looking back all these years later – its all too obvious that we were much cooler than those dorky Jefferson Starship fans.

    @The prophet Nostradumbass:

    There are so many horrible decisions, it’s hard to argue.

    Or these judges unbelievably suck. I remember watching Chambers vs Peters. Chambers clearly won, but he didn’t win 9 of 10 rounds, and he sure as fuck didn’t draw. Oh fuck, at least they got the right result there.

    There is (or was) a band in the San Francisco area called The Dead Kenny Gs. From their mouths to God’s ear… just sayin’.

    @Mark S.:

    She has a TV show and fans to feed. Oh, and most importantly, a bank account to fill!

    Like her mother, she’s down with making a sleazy living.

    Boxing died for me when they gave it to Leonard over Hagler. It was all about the show because the show is what makes money. I stopped thinking it was any better than pro wrestling.

    I would donate a kidney to see video of Mr. Cole doing air guitar/vocals in his living room to Dead Kennedys. How anyone with such great taste in music was ever a Republican is beyond belief, although I used to suspect that people in the pit who were actually trying to hurt people were probably Rs.

    Tony Orlando and Dawn!

    The Dead Milkmens’ Middle-Atlantic (as opposed to Mid-Atlantic) accents weren’t quite as pronounced as I remembered.

    Prolly like mine, before I spent 30 years in Nashville.

    All of these numbers would be improved if the singers were cut and only the music remained. Or maybe a bouncing ball with the lyrics in sub-title. (I know, showing my age here.)

    Styling doesn’t excuse horrid singing.
