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

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

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

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

“But what about the lurkers?”

America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

The godson sports a new costume:

I just rented Magic Mike and tried to get the lady friend to watch, and she said “No” and went back to killing murlocs. I did a little booty dance, she choked on an oreo (not sure if it was out of disgust, laughter, or suppression of the gag reflex), and she said “really, no. I’m ok.”

If dad is wrong about this movie being fun, I may throw his other hand into the wood chipper.

*** Update ***

Looks like I need to fire up the wood chipper in the morning. This ain’t Boogie Nights.

    It’s one more element of the eternal mystery that is FYWP. I think it’s because some people overuse the ! in a way they don’t overuse other punctuation. FWIW, it will also eat combinations of ! and 1, which some people use as a humorous way of expressing over excitement. You can get around this by using the character map/key caps feature to get the double exclamation point character (‼, Unicode point 203C or html escape &8252;) which FYWP treats like an ordinary character. ‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

And it’s not like the whole team was relying solely on those two (certainly not Mota much of the time). This is a team of players who have all stepped up and gotten shit done, so because a couple of guys fucked around doesn’t mean shit. And please, do you fucking think they’re the only ones? I’d bet my life every damn pro team has a couple guys doing this shit. Is it right?

This is not a sign that McGwire is getting them all to dope.

    Even though one of the principals of the PED era played for my team of choice, I smelled bullshit the moment we went from two 60-HR seasons in 70+ years, to 3 or 4 guys making it an annual event. I figured the truth would come out eventually, and it did. I’m embarrassed to have Mark McGwire associated with the Cardinals. The face of the franchise when I was a kid was Ozzie Smith. He was unwelcome around the organization during the entire reign of Tony La Russa, for the unforgiveable sin of disagreeing with “the Genius” when he first came on board in 1996. Meanwhile, dirty ass cheater Mark McGwire, got to be the hitting coach after embarrassing himself, the franchise, and the city of St. Louis during his pathetic congressional testimony.

    Memory Hole, 2011:

    Asked about federal disaster relief for recent tornado and flood victims at last night’s GOP debate, candidate Mitt Romney called the spending “immoral” and said the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be privatized. With greenhouse pollution on the rise, the United States has been struck by a “punishing series of billion-dollar disasters.”

    Etch-a-Sketch!

    Well, my friend who works at Yale says that New Haven officials have asked them to pack up and leave if they can. She’s going to her mom’s in Rhode Island. Not that it should be any better there, but at least mom lives a little further inland.

    Cole is supposed to get dumped on in a big way. They are saying the two storms will come together in a direct hit on WVA, leading to possibly 2-3 feet of snow. Hope he, his parents, and his lady friend are all stocked up on supplies because it may be a while before they can dig out.

    @Southern Beale:

    I’m dying to hear how privatized disaster relief would work. I also love how it’s immoral to spend money on disaster relief but it is godly to spend 4% of GDP on the military. You know, that agency that fucking kills people.

    From cacti’s level of aggression I would have guessed Phillies fan, but if anything Phillies fans get mad that their team doesn’t play dirty enough.

    Yes, that was gratuitous but I am just a small person given to small pleasures.

    @Mark S.: Halliburton, silly. Just $300 an hour plus a cost-plus 20% contract for all equipment and materials. Imagine the efficiencies!

    Bruce Bochy has dirty players wherever he goes. His best years in San Diego were made possible by the artificially enhanced bat of the late Ken Caminiti.

    That’s the over-powering stench of a sore loser, folks.

    News flash: you’re team didn’t just lose a few close ones, they lost their fucking bats, likely up their 5-hole, and got smoked.

    @Mark S.: not that difficult to privatize. Instead of a loan from FEMA, some guy offers your town six cents on the dollar to buy your town’s broken sewage system.

    I take movie suggestions from my father with a huge grain of salt. My dad thinks the “fast and furious” franchise are great action flicks….

    If anyone’s keeping score: This is the one year anniversary of the freak snowstorm which shut down much of CT, and resulted in 75% fewer leaves and acorns for me to remove this autumn.

    We’re plenty inland from the surge but wary of the wind.
