Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

This fight is for everything.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

The willow is too close to the house.

Let there be snark.

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

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

No one could have predicted…

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Accountability, motherfuckers.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

    Fuck politics. I’m home after a long trip, and I’m drinking in lieu of sleep, which will not come for a while.

    I’m home after a 14 hour day at work and I’m drinking in lieu of sleep, which will not come here for awhile either.

    ETA : How come I’m so damn tired at 2:00 PM and still wide awake at 2:00 AM?

    Just wanted to thank all the Balloon Juicers for their good wishes in an earlier thread on the coming grandbaby.

    I’m happy to report that Olivia Juliet was delivered via C-section at 7:31 tonight, and that mom, dad, and baby are all doing wonderfully (but a little tired).

    Pictures tomorrow!

    That Prick Bastard John McCain staged a press conference today to demogog Benghazi, but he didn’t bother to attend the classified briefing on it.

    Of course he didn’t attend the briefing. If he had known some facts, he couldn’t demagogue the hell out of it without knowingly telling untruths. By remaining deliberately ignorant, he was only telling untruths unknowingly. That’s very important to him, because lying is wrong but bullshitting is fine.

    Yes indeedy, fuck politics with razorwire.

    Amazingly, there are now four good movies in the theaters at the same time. Four good American-made movies. That’s astounding. I haven’t seen that since…I dunno…1995? A long loooooooooooooooooooooong time.

    The following movies kick ass & take names:

    LOOPER

    SKYFALL

    ARGO

    SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS

    I still have to pinch myself. Four movies made in America that are actually worth paying money to see. Damn! Usually, Shithole America doesn’t make four movies worth seeing in four years.

    @Narcissus:

    Can cats have cheese?

    Yes, although Laettner tends to shy away from the more flavorful varieties. American and Muenster are OK. Swiss and provolone, not so much.

    @Gin & Tonic: Hmm. Probably because of 14 hours of work an +0.5.

    Is there a difference between awhile and a while? I used to know this stuff.

    @mclaren:

    Argo is a brilliant film. Best movie of the year so far, IMHO.

    Looper was decent, not as much fun or as thrilling as Argo.

    I’m probably going to see Skyfall tomorrow or Friday, and definitely going to see Lincoln on Friday.

    Cats are not able to enjoy cheeseburgers. None of my cats has any interest in cooked red meat, actually. This is a fraud.

    What cats want, really, is Fancy Feast (green can) with extra broth or with creamy Florentine sauce–preferably fish.

    Mine seems to be very happy with chicken breast or turkey skin, and he has something of a taste for carnitas. He seems to have no interest in dark red meat, cooked or raw. Other cats I’ve met seem to like trout skin.

    @burnspbesq: and Joe Hart joins the David Seaman club. Five things he could have done in that situation. No, six. He could have just run over and punched a linesman and gotten thrown out, and Ibra wouldn’t have scored. Sheesh.

    @Roger Moore:

    The strange thing is that I’m a big fisherman, so I bring the cats all kinds of things they should absolutely love. The do like to smell and lick–but will not eat–the fish.

    Two sibling kitties at my house. One will eat any meat, fish, egg or cheese and will sing an adorable rowrr? song begging for it. (He also sings along with Adele on the radio.)

    The other prefers milk and bread and broccoli. And green beans.

    I had a wonderful cat that loved asparagus. It was the only thing he would ever jump up on the table and grab off of someone’s plate. Really cracked us up. Still miss the guy.

    @jacy: Missed earlier thread. Congratulations! Dunno if she’s your first g’baby, but our first happened about 17 months ago – after son and his partner had been together 10 years! – and the whole thing is still pretty magical. Best g-2-g wishes!

    @jeff: Sorta weird. Most predators show a marked preference for cooked meat vs raw.

    My cats sure love cooked meat.

    @Roger Moore:

    Sorry, I get enough of those at work when my Chinese coworkers start singing songs from the Cultural Revolution.

    Hehehe that almost sounds like fun compared to an old co-worker who used to sing Indian pop hits… I’m sure that the original material was much better than what I was listening too…

    Four good American-made movies….SKYFALL… Four movies made in America that are actually worth paying money to see. Damn!

    That would be the same American movie that was shot in the UK (with a few scenes in other countries that don’t include the US) featuring a British director filming a British actor as one of the most iconic British characters of all time? Yeah, great American flick, that one.

    Glad to see you haven’t lost your edge.

    Is this where we do cat talk?
    Oh, good. My cat wants to eat whatever I’m eating. She is convinced that I am keeping all the good stuff, Romney-style.* Won’t drink milk but craves all dairy products, especially when she can lick them off my plate which she waits for at every meal.

    *Just a li’l politix, this is BJ after all.
