Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Democracy is not a spectator sport.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

the 10% who apparently lack object permanence

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

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

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

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

Our messy unity will be our strength.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

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

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

    I’m watching Lions/Packers right now. One thing I find weird about cold-weather football games is that the announcers treat the weather like it’s the weirdest, quirkiest, silliest thing ever. I know it’s Green Bay and TV announcers feel obligated to talk about it, but it’s barely below freezing: not notably cold. But they can’t shut up about it. “Man, look at that snow! Look at that wind! It’s really something!” Costas and Collinsworth are from NY and OH respectively, so I assume they’re not personally impressed. So are they just pandering to the sun belt viewers or what? I don’t know, maybe I’m overthinking it.

    Rrooowwwrll!

    This ain’t going to be no family friendly BJ pet calendar. Our innocent cats and dogs, hamsters and rabbits, will be debauched from coast to coast. Won’t be able to tear them away from the racy pin-ups, Pretty soon they will be hanging around the local ASPCA looking to hook up.

    Shame on Cole, pet debaucher!

    Unlike the card playing dogs (snore), this one has a certain animal erotic nature to it. All in all beautiful and ridiculous at the same time.

    @Spaghetti Lee: yeah you hardly notice it when you are in your puffy jacket, beanie and gloves. Wait what’s that? You’re telling me they play football in Lycra and that they can’t wear wollen gloves out there?

    I was going to buy two so I could hang one over my desk at my job, but obviously it’s NSFW.

    Adorable!

    Too bad it’s too late for someone to submit a pic of a macaque found wandering in the North York Ikea. Our pets dress appropriately for the weather, mind you.

    Twitter people, you must follow #IkeaMonkey. Some samples:

    Ohhhhh I am so excited!!

    It’s hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like our feline friend has his leg arranged JUST SO as to avoid any full frontal. So this year’s theme is soft-core.

    I see how this place rolls.

    @AT:
    OTOH, when they’re out there in their spandex, they’re exercising vigorously, which can generate a lot of heat. When it’s right around freezing, I can work up a decent sweat by walking vigorously while wearing quite a bit less than those football players are. And when they’re not on the field, they’re allowed to wear parkas and gloves.

    Holy cat, that cow…uh, holy cow, a Renaissance kitteh. Very dignified, like an ancient Egyptian kitteh that might have been worshiped and stuff.

    From the “are you fucking kidding me?” files:

    The federal government has come up with dozens of ways to enhance the diminishing flow of the Colorado River, which has long struggled to keep seven states and roughly 25 million people hydrated.
    __
    …in the mix, and expected to remain in the final draft of the report, is a more extreme and contentious approach. It calls for building a pipeline from the Missouri River to Denver, nearly 600 miles to the west. Water would be doled out as needed along the route in Kansas, with the rest ultimately stored in reservoirs in the Denver area.

    Folks who’ve read “Cadillac Desert” will find familiar themes in this boondoggle.

    I was thinking you could do a duo-tonic calendar with Cats and Zeppelins.

    Fat Kitties deserve to be loved too.

    @Roger Moore: keeping your heart rate up is good as you can be warm, it’s the stopping and starting that is the problem. Coupled with the fact that they would be sweaty, that would cool very quickly, parka or not. Big problem though is you fingers don’t circulate enough blood, and as a result never warm up enough…

    You can’t fool me with your calendar. It’s just a recruiting tool for Obamas liberal youth FEMA army.

    @trollhattan: I think the NYT article is a little confused, since Denver isn’t in the Colorado River (of the west) basin. The Denver Post article is a little clearer on how and when water would cross the continental divide.

    ETA: The NYT article doesn’t really explain that water is already transferred across the continental divide. This project would reduce that flow and potentially reverse it in really dry years west of the divide.

    There are about a billion more things I need to do for the craft fair this week, but I’ve been working on it all weekend and I am officially burned out.

    I may try to cut out of work early (ie 5 pm instead of 6 pm) to have more time tomorrow night.

    As someone who’s been a warm clime person my entire life, I’ve learned that one thing those lifelong ice trekkers love more than anything else is to *whine* about cold weather/snow.

    Great cover pic. With all the stuff going on in our life, I forgot to send in our girls this year… so, that sucks.

    I just finished reading a book full of stills from the Pre-Code Era of Hollywood moviemaking. This would look right at home there.

    @trollhattan: “Cadillac Desert” should be required reading for anyone filing a story on water.

    I can’t wait. I’ve been looking and it hadn’t popped up in the store yet. I was beginning to be concerned.

    Take my money!

    Soon, I hope. This will be BJ calendar #3 for me. The 2012 version was even better than the 2011. Many animal lovers in my family; I think this year I should buy a few extra for Christmas…
