Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

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

Giving in to doom is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

He really is that stupid.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

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

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

Everybody saw this coming.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

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

    What I want to know is how Florida drops a spot after handling a ranked conference opponent, but Oregon moves up while trouncing unranked Arizona State!?

    It’s not that I really care, but I will admit I root for the Florida team when FSU isn’t playing them. Its a travesty I tells ya!

    Sorry about your Mountaineers, John. I blame Manchin for this.

    I’m sorry, but I find it impossible to feel sorry for a Steelers fan. You guys have had plenty of good years, you get a bad one now. Boo hoo.

    Like Peak said, imagine being a Browns or a Jags fan. Or a Raiders fan, or a Chiefs fan (no playoff wins since 1994, as my Chiefs-fan friend reminds me), or a Bills fan, or…

    Wow. Giants are off to a 4 to 0 lead against Cardinals. Looks like the Giants are doing to the Cards what they did to Cincy. Which is fine by me.

    @Spaghetti Lee:

    NFL recognition is on hold for me as a life long Browns fan, with a ray of hope that winning will return with the new owner of the team.

    The one consolation from today’s games is that either yinz or the Bungles will fail to gain ground on my Ravens, who totally shat the bed this afternoon. The good news is that I’m completely confident they won’t repeat that lame impersonation of a professional football team next week…but only because it’s their bye.

    as a long suffering Redskins fan, I chortle to myself with the sense of entitlement that certain franchises appear to generate. I don’t wish these franchises harm per se, but the gnashing and histrionics can be a bit much.

    Yeah, I’ve officially lost interest in football this season until playoff time, now that the Mountaineers are firmly back in their destined spot of red-headed stepchild of the national scene. :/

    I hold out hope for a breakthrough one day….one day….but I have a feeling I’ll be waiting forever.

    #1 team in the country played #6 Friday and Saturday. Two very tight games despite the scores; 7-1 & 8-0. A very good weekend.

    Oh, the local NFL squad managed to just barely not embarrass themselves but just barely.

    @General Stuck: Speak not too soon. As Earl Weaver put it, the great thing about beisbol is that no team can run up a lead & then run out the clock–you get 27 outs no matter what, & no deficit is insurmountable, even with 2 outs in the 9th & 2 strikes on the batter. (Ask the 2011 Red Sox about that last bit.)

    At the very least, the ’12 Steelers have one big thing going in their favor. They possess a monster QB, arguably still in his prime. I have been disengaged from the NFL to the point that I really don’t have a feel of what’s-what (i.e., I won’t bet money), but this I know: the Steelers need to re-build.

    A win would be nice for a change.

    It sure would be. I don’t see it happening, though.

    @Schlemizel: I was at those games and they weren’t close. 7-2 pretty accurately described the Friday night game. OSU scored one goal with a 5-3 power play and the other on a brain fart of a play by Gillanders not watching the slot.

    The Saturday game started much closer. I don’t think OSU deserved to be down 3-0 after the first period. Their problem is that they just weren’t strong enough to control the front of their own net. However, they melted down in the second, allowing two really bad goals. And the third was a beatdown.

    The Gophers have now outscored their opponents 55-3 over eight games. They have five shorthanded goals. Brandt and Kessel each have more goals scored than three WCHA teams. Terry has goals in three straight games and if she has her shooting touch back things could get *really* scary for anyone visiting Ridder.

    @Uncle Cosmo:

    The Motor City Kitties do have a certain “Blue Steel” glint in their eyes. Glad they derailed the Yankees, although I was a little conflicted because it would be nice for Ichiro to get a World Series ring.

    @M. Bouffant: That’s basically what happened in ’06, as this Detroiter remembers only too well.

    Forecast is for rain all day/night in SF tomorrow. Game 7 Tuesday?

    @Steeplejack: As an O’s fan I am with you on the Skanks. Too frickin’ bad it was Ibanez breaking his ankle a couple of weeks earlier, it might’ve been us getting swept duking it out with the Motor City. Ah well, we softened ’em up for ya…& it would kinda complete Detroit’s comeback (courtesy of PBO) to win the Whirled Serious, no?

    Not a fan of Rapelisberger based on his off-field exploits, but that was a slick little punt. I’d say every NFL QB needs to put that in their repertoire. It seems like something that a decent athlete could learn easily enough.

    Looks like the Bungles are still the Bungles…& the division is gonna come down to the usual mano a mano between you-know-who…

    ETA: Ay-yup. Nail in the coffin. Cincy’s got some good young talent but until they prove they can beat a decent team…

    John Elway did quite a few of those “pooch” kicks back in the day.
