Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. do not congratulate. this is not business as usual.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

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

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Petty moves from a petty man.

White supremacy is terrorism.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

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

How stupid are these people?

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

    “Detachable Penis” would be an awesome name for a female Punk group!

    They could write a song about how a detachable penis would be useful to seperate the penis from the dick it’s attached to.

    Man, why doesn’t my study section ever get grants like this to review! My lighten up the funereal atmosphere.

    Let me try this again, in a more spam-filter friendly way:

    I went to see a production of Julius Casear last night. It used a very modernistic setting, and at the beginning there were a bunch of citizens milling around waiting to hail Caesar. Given the setting, they were carrying a bunch of hand-lettered campaign-rally signs. One of which read, and I quote,

    Veni Vidi Vici Motherfuckers

    Awesome.

    Some 25 years ago my mother sent me a xerox of a page from Nature (not too bad a science rag in its own right) with an article about egg multiplicity found in a particular species of bird. The headline (completely straight-faced):

    Clutch Size in Great T*ts.

    (Not original spelling; I want to avoid moderation.)

    @dmsilev:

    I’d love to see that version. One of my favorite movie treatments of Shakespeare is Ian McKellen’s version of “Richard III.”

    Has anyone else noticed the FB wingnut wurlitzer cranking up about the POTUS not publcily adressing the death of that Mike Kyle, guy?

    Disappointed the President didn’t point out that if we get unemployment down to 5% the deficit problems will self-correct.

    Government investment is at a low point. Increase government investment, unemployment drops and deficit goes down.

    I don’t know why no Democratic politician and no one, other than Krugman, is making this argument.

    @Maude:

    Sorry, I must have missed that. Last I heard, it was “planned” for the second week in February, and then when the site went to hell he joked about it always doing that before a rebuild.

    Isn’t he more concerned now with doing a Houdini escape from his locked safe?

    I mentioned that song on Cole’s earworm thread last week and nobody seemed to remember it.

    Tragic backstory: the guy who founded King Missile, whose name escapes me, resorted to law school when the band failed. : (

    Shakespeare Uncovered on PBS is terrific, not only for the recent productions/interpretations, but also for the archival footage of plays captured on silent moovees and early teevee shows.

    OTish, Diane Rhiem show keeps missing the target with Byron York and Ruth Marcus, and Norm Ornstein relegated to the Krugman role of quiet exasperation.

    @dmsilev:

    I plan to see the film, “Caesar Must Die,” later this week, but thought I’d alert you (and others here) to it now.

    Released in 2012, this Italian film, shot entirely in the maximum security wing of Rome’s Rebibbia prison, presents inmates rehearsing a production of Julius Caesar.

    I seem to recall that you live in the Chicago area and I’d expect that an independent movie-house there could be screening it soon.

    (link includes the film’s trailer)

    ETA: This blog is beginning to get overrun by Shakespeare aficionados. Might be bad for its reputation.
