Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

The stupid Gators gave me a sad last night. As soon as I saw them take the field wearing orange pants, I knew it wasn’t going to go well. Le sigh.

Oh well. Rammer jammer, yellowhammer, give ’em hell, Ala-bammer!

On a much happier note, today is the official last day in the Senate for Joe Lieberman. Good riddance, Joe, you sanctimonious douchenozzle!

Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing

Please feel free to discuss how much you will not miss Joe Lieberman’s “bipartisan” leadership in the Senate. Or whatever.

    I have not watched a college football game this entire season! I don’t feel I’ve missed anything, really. That said, I do wish they’d get rid of the odious BCS.

    I would miss it as much as I will miss Sen. Joe Lieberman.

    Charlie Strong was passed over for the Florida coaching job. I think it is fitting that he came and beat them by outcoaching Muschamp. Two of five SEC teams (Georgia and South Carolina, barely)have won. Three to go. The SEC doesn’t seem to be a super conference this year.

    Murray threw five touchdown passes to set a Georgia bowl record, including two in the fourth quarter, as the Bulldogs (No. 7 BCS, No. 6 AP) beat Nebraska (No. 16 BCS, No. 23 AP) 45-31 in the Capital One Bowl on Tuesday.

    Murray shook off a pair of first-half interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, and passed for 427 yards — also a Bulldogs’ bowl record — against the nation’s top-ranked passing defense. He was the game’s most valuable player on the way to earning his first bowl victory at Georgia.

    Sadly Sanctimonious Joe is merely a symptom, the disease will roll merrily along. He is one tumor in a field of tumors. It will be easy to miss him because he will be so easily replaced.

    It sadly hilarious that folks here want to whine about GOS working to replace that useless sack of shit with a real Dem. What is your alternative, sit on our thumbs while pricks like Joe fuck us over & say “well, at least he is a Democrat!”?

    @Raven: I don’t dislike Muschamp per se, but I would have rather seen a guy with more experience take that job. It’s not an entry-level job, you know?

    The last time AD Foley went with his gut on an unproven head coach hire, we had the awful Ron Zook. I’m hoping the Muschamp era doesn’t turn out to be a similar debacle. That said, the Gators were overrated all season, and the team is awfully young. I think they’ll be better next year, if Muschamp is up to the task.

    Sadly, I don’t think this is the last we’ll see of Holy Joe. I have a feeling he’ll be a regular Fox News contributor, brought on whenever they need a “Democratic” voice to bash Democrats and argue why we need to reduce Iran to smoking rubble as soon as possible.

    And John McCain and Lindsey Graham need a new third member of their Three Stooges act to replace Curly. Maybe that’s why Kelly Ayotte is hanging around them so much. She’s the Shemp in training.

    @Raven: The Dawgs got snubbed in the bowl assignments, seeing as they were one play away from the national championship game and probably have the most talent on both sides of the ball. I was happy to see them rise to the occasion against a good (but slow) Nebraska, but would have rather seen them play FSU or Clemson (the FSU/NIU matchup was ugly). If Murray comes back, the Dawgs will likely contend for the title. At least UF doesn’t have Lane Kiffen. The Trojans’ performance in El Paso was disgraceful.

    I was in the American Embassy in Moscow in fall 1988 when I saw a list hanging up on the wall of the cafeteria of the election results. Of course I already knew that Bush had beaten Dukakis, but I really hadn’t focused on the senatorial races. I looked at that list and saw that Lieberman had beaten Weicker, and my heart sank.

    Retiring Congressman Gary Ackerman’s op ed from today’s NYTimes:

    My Last Day in Congress

    Coming from an immigrant family of Polish Jews with peasant origins, sheltered by decent, safe public housing … , receiving great medical care when I needed it thanks to a generous society [from public hospitals] …, educated by wonderful public schools, with a priceless, cost-free degree from Queens College, I have lived my entire life knowing that I owed somebody something.

    And I fancied myself becoming somebody, and paying it forward. I taught in public schools. I helped start a business. (Yes, liberals can be job creators and believe in capitalism.)

    … [When I entered Congress] Compromise was not heresy. Your opponent was not your enemy. The debate was choosing between better or worse policies, not good or evil ideologies. Of course, between good and bad there is a void of gray.

    Two months shy of 30 years in the House, I leave a chamber in which we challenge one another’s legitimacy, not one another’s ideas.

We have a lot of talent and muschamp hasn’t been a bad coach, but this year was not going to be the year.

    The Blaze “reached out to them to buy it,” a source familiar with the talks told POLITICO. “They would have replaced Current programming with The Blaze programming, but were told on initial calls that [Current] wouldn’t sell to someone they weren’t ideologically in line with.”

    It’s hard to remember. It’s been twelve years and Gore was such an atrocious candidate that I spent that whole campaign mostly muttering “oh my God we’re going to lose to a retard” and sure as shit we did. This by way of explaining that I wasn’t really paying much attention to Lieberman.

    @Todd: Unlike other conferences, the SEC has multiple tough teams to choose from. Everyone else wins 1-2 tough games and thinks that they should be getting a mouth hug from ESPN.

    Here is the difference between the SEC and everyone else. In any given year, any of the big teams may or may not have a good season. Notre Dame makes it’s schedule three years out and got lucky to play some decent teams this year. Any Big 10 or 12 team may be good, but may or may not play a conference full of cans. OTOH, the big SEC teams know that every season they are playing at least one, if not two or more, NC contenders, every year.

    This doesn’t make other teams not good or other conferences weak (except the California PeeWee League), but the lack of predictability and uncertainty don’t build teams that go through the meat grinder every single year.

    @Betty Cracker:

    Four different teams from the same conference winning the lion’s share of championships over the last 10 years. Five different teams in the same conference taking the top five slots on strength of schedule this year.

    Given the way that SEC play is broken up into its divisions and the genuine weakness of its bottom half teams, it is as if the BCS system was practically designed to put it in championship games over and over. And the strength of schedule thing (since it involves a lot of play with the weaker teams) is like asking for dates at the family reunion – evrybody will have to overtly approve your choice. Even outsiders will nod on approvingly, lest the entire group of SEC teams decide to take offense.

    The SEC is good, just not that good. On a happy note, I will be rooting for the Tide next week, as I well and truly despise ND.

    Holy Joe denounced the Clenis on the floor of the Senate. Cautious Al Gore, struggling to distance himself from the scandal-ridden Clinton presidency (Village gospel then and forever), evidently believed that Lieberman embodied that righteous effort. Also too, Israel.

    There is no little irony that on the day that Lieberman oozes from the Senate, it is reported that Gore, whose selection of Holy Joe as his running-mate will long tarnish him, will be profiting in excess of $100 million in the sale of his co-ownership of Current TV to Al-Jazeera.

    In Al-Jazeera’s announcement of its purchase, it advised that a new channel Al-Jazeera America would be developed; no mention of a timeline for its debut.

    Should you have access to Al Jazeera English (provided now by only a few carriers in the US), let me recommend it enthusiastically. Not dissimilar to Current TV in its emphasis upon documentaries/long-form coverage, its reporting on international affairs is outstanding and deeply informative. It puts BBC America, much less any American news programming, to shame and disgrace.

    In an alternate universe, I wonder how much VP Lieberman would have been pissing me off under the wise tutelage of Pres. Gore. Would he have stopped being enough of a schmuck to actually vote for him after Pres. Gore’s second term?

    Hard to say. Reeeally hard to say. I dislike the smarmy little weasel so much (yet held my nose to vote for the ticket he was on).
