Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

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

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

Consistently wrong since 2002

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Israel, don’t be dumb like we were in the US after 9/11!

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

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

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

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The willow is too close to the house.

    Also too: isn’t he all Tebow Jeebusy? Why is he out there selling sex?

    No, I think that’s his mom. He did say we Americans were evil for not having universal health care like they do in Canada. So there is that.

    That is hysterical. If ever a picture was worth a thousand words. It should be titled

    “Hope Springs Eternal In the Female Breast”

    or

    “No Deposit/No Return.”

    He couldn’t look more bewildered and disinterested if he were a cardboard cutout being nuzzled by that girl.

    @TGC: I thought he gave several Jeebusy interviews to a couple of Christian teen mags. Oh well doesn’t matter, he’s fast approaching his drug-induced burn-out date.

    @Yutsano: I think that was the early days. But he’s been simultaneously cultivating an image as a horndog since the beginning, hasn’t he?

    @aimai: I think it’s supposed to be “This girl’s all up on me, but I’d rather be with you.” That’s why he looks vaguely troubled while meeting the viewer’s gaze.

    Aftershave?

    Apologies. I’m just annoyed that I couldn’t find the shampoo I’ve been using, bought what I thought was similar from the same brand (cough*Loreal*cough). Didn’t pay attention to the scent, which turns out to be Rosemary Mint. My hair looks great but I smell like I’m wearing a nasty aftershave and have been sucking on too many breath mints, I think I’m going to start calling it “Justin Bieber’s Girlfriend.”

    Could you dog owners please tell me why my next-door neighbors think it’s okay to leave their dog out all beautiful Sunday afternoon to bark loudly at everyone who comes down the street? And our street leads to the nice woods, so lots of people come down the street on a beautiful Sunday afternoon? So I’m being driven round the bend by barkbarkbarkbarkbarkbark. I just do not get this sociopathic behavior. Why don’t they take their own dog for a walk so he stops barking at everyone else’s dogs?

    ETA: And don’t tell me to have a word with them. They’re sociopaths. The last time I tried it, they complained that I play the piano (which happens for no more than an hour at a time, 5:00 to 6:00 PM, by no means every day, and it’s INSIDE MY HOUSE WITH THE WINDOWS CLOSED).

    The way the bottle in the Bieber ad is drawn reminds me of the doohickey in the annoying “Power Companies Hate This” web ad on this site.

    I’m not seeing how Lindsay Lohan could become any more of a train wreck than she is now. But you have to admit this: if there’s anyone qualified to coach her, it’s Charlie Sheen.

    Why you dog-hating, elitist Russkie-o-phile! That patriotic pooch is keeping the neighborhood safe from moochers and looters, ‘cuz I just know you’re the type trying to keep every homeowner from proudly bearing a firearm.

    And I just bet you’re bangin’ away at Rachmaninoff or Mussorgsky or some other proto-Commie. What decent American wouldn’t complain?

    Thank our Lord and Savior JC (or JB) that FX television now has an expose (“The Americans”) on people like you.

    I’m not sure what it would smell like, but essence of bubblegum, cotton candy and My Little Pony have to be in the mix somehow.

    Is it me, or does he look like he’s channeling Derek Zoolander’s Blue Steel look?

    And why isn’t it called “Justin Bieber’s Spin The Bottle”?

    WereBear

    @gogol’s wife: I’d see if the dog could be placed with a shelter who could get him a real home. The kind of behavior you describe is that of a dog desperate for company. That’s what he’s asking for.

    They’re ignoring him. They always ignore him.

    Biebs always has that “huh?” look on his face. Just a vapid dolt, IMO. I, not being a 13 year old girl any longer, do not get the allure.

    Back in my day, we had the still effeminate looking David Cassidy but at least looked like there were a few thoughts going on in his head. Biebs? Not so much.

    @WereBear:

    You don’t know how close to the mark you are. Their last dog had to be put down by court order because it kept “getting loose” and killing other dogs and biting children (the same girl twice). Their reaction? To bring home two new dogs, put up an ugly chicken-wire fence in the backyard, and leave them out there all day. I called Animal Control (which in our town consists of one woman), and she spent the whole call telling me what a wonderful, concerned dog owner my neighbor is. It’s bizarro world around here.

    We just saw “Les Miserables,” because it was the only mildly interesting movie at the multiplex. Good grief what a fucking ordeal that was. By the end I just wanted everyone to DIE ALREADY so I get go the fuck to lunch.

    Now that there is an intriguing concept. If you dilute it enough, it should be overpowering, and the skeptics will be vanquished.

    @gnomedad: My favorite part of the story is how they act like there was serious journalism and investigations going on to find out he bought the gun when anyone could access the info on Mark’s Facebook page!

    Last week was a rough week. Last minute trip to east coast involved sprinting through Minneapolis airport to catch a connection. Nothing is funnier than a grown man in a suit running so I made some other people’s night. They held the flight for me and announced that I made it which earned me some mad dogging from my fellow passengers while I was sweating profusely.

    Got a flat tire and figured out that I didn’t have all of the parts necessary to change the tire. Crept the car to the tire place and waited a couple of hours. While I was there our cattle dog knocked over a box (in the pantry which we usually lock) that had a bunch of baking supplies. The dingo ate 2 bags of chocolate and a half container of oats. When I got home he looked like a stuffed sausage and wasn’t walking right. Headed to the vet and he spent the night. He’s still on the mend but is doing much better. Scared the hell out of us and we gave tightened protocols.
    End of venting.

    I’m guessing part of what they’re pissed off about is that he took an AR-15 off the market and will be turning it in to the gubbmint so a Real True Patriot can’t use it to shoot up his local elementary school.

    They aren’t being stupid. They’re misinforming their readers, on purpose, because you have to keep their minions in a state of high dudgeon to keep the donations flowing in.

    Completely agree. Strategic stupidity, if you please. And check out the comments at Capt. Kelly’s Facebook post. Some of the nicer ones imply that he violated the law (hypocrite!) by buying the gun with the intention of giving to the police.

    Like the vast majority of celebrity scents, it probably smells terrible, like every other “blue” scent out there.

    One exception to that rule, by the way, surprisingly is Paris Hilton for Men, which is unusual and pleasant. It is the only one of my many scents that repeatedly gets compliments whenever I wear it.

    Okay, I finally broke down and looked it up on Sephora:

    Sparkling Pear, Crisp Mandarin, Rich Blackberry, Mara Strawberry, Pink Freesia, Star Jasmine, Apricot Nectar, Orange Blossom, Vanilla Orchid, Luminous Musk

    So, your basic fruity floral, suitable for a teenager or pre-teen.

    There used to be a Soviet perfume which Russians called “Stalin’s Breath”, so maybe this could be nicknamed “Justin Beiber’s Breath.”

    What I wonder is who they think is going to buy it. I see his perfume (and ugly mug) advertised all over the place in department store perfume counters here in Virginia, and the clientele there does not look very teenager.
