Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

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

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

ha ha ha! Nice try weird people.

Cole is on a roll !

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

“Let’s not pretend [Trump] wants to engage in high-minded discourse.”

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

“That’s what the insurrection act is for!”

“woke” is the new caravan.

Joe Biden can go out like FDR, not by dying in office, but by crushing the fascists.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

So many bastards, so little time.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Sometimes I shouldn’t click on links tweeted at me. And sometimes I totally should because of magic like this.

Yesterday I posted our SOTU eps but not the new one from last night. On Last night’s TWiB! Radio we discussed the ridiculous of the above video, suing to get your grade changed in college, a guy who’s going to be executed and they refuse to take into consideration he might be mentally unstable…even as he pulls his own eye out (Oh Texas) and more.  Check it out here.

    Looking forward to Wilfred Brimley doing a rendition of Me So Horny.

    You know, the lyrics, the singing, the production values, the people, the lyrics — did I mention the lyrics? — made me nostalgic for SCTV.

    @General Stuck: lol.

    I couldn’t watch all of it. Comments on youtube claim it’s a parody but the guy who posted claims it’s the real thing. “Jesus is my nigga.” Okay then.

    Are we supposed to give them kudos for belatedly recognizing that the Jesus of the semi-historical record would have been a man of color? Not that I actually watched the wretched thing to see if that might be the case.

    And O/T, but CNN is reporting that Frank Lautenberg won’t seek re-election. Clear the decks for Cory Booker.

    At 4:15 Harry Reid is going to have a cloture vote and I’ll probably mention the name of the lord several times.

    @Anya:

    This video cannot be real. I think it’s a parody designed to make liberals angry.

    It is failing in that mission. It veered quickly into point and laugh territory and carried right on through to WTF-land

    On a serious note …

    Doctors in South Africa, Italy, Iran, and India are struggling against a strain of totally antibiotic resistant TB. See here for the CDC paper. This is important as 40% of the US cases are in the AA population, see here for the why, which as a percentage of the total US population is a horrendous infection rate.

    (There’s more info out there but I’ve run into the 3 Links boundary.)

    With the AA community having the highest HIV infection rate this new TB strain, if (when?) it gets established, would hit hard. The CDC HIV Fact Sheet reports:

    Blacks represent approximately 14% of the U.S. population, but accounted for an estimated 44% of new HIV infections in 2010. They also accounted for 44% of people living with HIV infection in 2009.

    With no drugs and no immune system people with HIV are essentially dead people walking once they contract the TB strain.

    Unpossible because Jeebus said evolution doesn’t happen. (Okay, that’s not true, but the people who wave his name around like a talisman think he did.)

    @PeakVT:

    India is the really Bad News. They know they’ve got it. They have no idea how many people are carriers. Antibiotics are available over the counter in India so symptoms will be masked until the carrier collapses but, meanwhile, they’ve been spreading the disease with every cough.

    ETA: India is Bad News because if it goes endemic there it will quickly go pandemic and spread across the globe. I note airplanes are a perfect environment for TB to skip to a new host.

    @JPL:

    First vote went 58 yea, 40 nay, 2 voted “present.” So the cloture motion fails. Dems are now trying to do it again.

    @JPL: Dems lost 59-39, despicable little coward Orrin Hatch voted “present”. If the Franken rule were in effect, Republicans would have lost.

    Kelly O’Donnell is on EvenTheLiberalMSNBC explaining that Democrats do this when a Republican is power

    @Trollhattan: The Brian Spinney YT account was created January 15. I think it’s a setup. Prank or viral or both.

    Look, the freakin’ opening blue screen was left in as a splashy attempt at making it look amateurish and real.

    Also: fuck the Republicans, and fuck the cowardly Democratic senators who wouldn’t kick the fucking filibuster to the fucking curb.

    @TooManyJens: In order to bring up the vote again, I think Reid has to vote present.. It’s okay to kick him in the balls at this point, though. I’m not sure you can find them though.

    @TooManyJens & JPL:

    An Motion to Re-consider (do it all again) has to be proposed by a Senator voting Aye or did not vote:

    In the case of a yea-and-nay vote, any senator who voted with the prevailing side or who did not vote may, on the same calendar day or on either of the next two days the Senate is actually in session, make a motion to reconsider the question.

    @Anoniminous: Drug resistance for many diseases is definitely a looming problem. And it’s something I think teh evul gubermint should be trying to do something about – better disease monitoring, more R&D on new antibiotics, etc. But, well, you know the deal.

    @PeakVT:

    CDC has their little list and it’s probable every disease listed will be totally resistant by 2030. Gonorrhea is almost there already. 10% of new cases are resistant to all but a three drug “cocktail”. CDC recommends:

    .. dual therapy with the injectable cephalosporin ceftriaxone and either azithromycin or doxycycline

    And that, my friend, is it. There aren’t any other protocols known to work.

    So guys … wrap that sucker. I gar-on-tee you do NOT want a dose of the clap. Lends a whole new meaning to the phrase, “that itchy, burning, sensation.”

    I believe this is real. Sadly, I’ve seen well intentioned white folk try to rap…once. as a close to 40 y.o. white lady who listens to rap frequently, it still makes me shudder. Some humans just don’t understand the true artistry of rap, which can be amazingly emotionally expressive. Also too, I just don’t think the sort of people who performed this ‘rap’ understand irony well enough to create this a performance art. I’d love to be wrong about that though…
