Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Nobody had anything to say about the TWIB thread below?  I thought the first podcast was especially interesting and important.  You should consider taking a listen.

House update:  The brick is up, the roof is done, and they’re getting ready to insulate.  That should happen over the next couple of days.  After that, drywall.

    The brick is up, the roof is done, and they’re getting to run Cat-6, cable, and phone lines, then ready to insulate. That should happen over the next couple of days. After that, drywall.

    Re: the thread below-I get pissed over seeing that media bar as if I’ve paid a visit to the player. It shows up in my history, a a slightly cryptic mix of characters.

    Plus, I tend not to do audio clicks.

    Wow, the MSM reporters really have the long-knives out for Ashley Judd tonight don’t they. Even the “left-leaning” reporters have the talking points down.

    I ask again of those more familiar with KY politics. Who does the Dems have who can match McConnell on name recognition, fundraising and possible on-camera prowess?

    If McConnell will be tough to beat either way, then why put a Blue Dog up against him who won’t be able to compete with him?

    While it may have seemed a good idea at the time, those posts more and more appear naught but free advertising posing as blogging.

    I don’t comment because the embedded stream doesn’t work for me so I have to go into iTunes so when it’s finished I’m in iTunes so I don’t comment.

    The embedded stream doesn’t work for me and even if it did, I don’t have an hour to listen to the full episode and there’s no easy way to navigate to the stuff I would want to listen to.

    I’m busy contemplating the Gophers playing North Dakota for the tenth time in their last 48 games thanks to the NCAA’s absolute unwillingness to spring for plane tickets for women’s hockey teams. We played them the last two games of last year’s regular season; once in last year’s WCHA semifinals; once in last year’s NCAA first round; four times during this regular season; Saturday night in the WCHA final; and this coming Saturday in the NCAA first round again.

    I’m really sick of the color green. I’d rather be playing anyone else in the tournament.

    podcast moves too slowly for my tastes. I need to get a computer in the shop and then maybe I’ll listen. I think the better posts are when they don’t do the “keep –ing that chicken” trick and just go ahead and give an executive summary of the podcasts.

    @tofubo: Well, the low voltage was already done when the high voltage was, and I’ve already ran 2 lines of Cat 6A (750mHz 10gb/s) to each room in the house, and four to the office. I did that myself last weekend.

    I’m not sure what the problem is, but that TWIB post took forever to load for me. I opened several other B-J posts in other tabs and they loaded fine. Maybe the audio links slowed it down.

    Like a lot of the others, I’m not interested in listening to people. I come to the blogs to read. And if I happen to be at work, they frown on streaming audio.

    I am going to side with other people here. I don’t listen to audio posts on blogs like this. I come here to read. If I want to listen to a podcast, I put it on my iPod and listen later. I have a huge queue in front of TWIB, I’ll listen to them someday.

    kuul, jus makin suer

    i had to run those things (and redo the knob-n-tube wiring) in a 1916 farmhouse w/plaster-and-lathe walls, not fun, but the house be wired now (and has a grounded elec system !!)

    it’d have been easier before the walls went up

    So the pod cast didn’t do much for me. But the trio radio format never worked for me. I have more than enough blah blah talk at work.

    ” After that, drywall.”
    Always sub-contract yur drywalling out to the pros. No job for the cost conscious amateur. Check that they put full-run sheets over all doors and windows. No joints in those places, they’ll separate later.

    @maya: My builder is handling all that. I wouldn’t dream of trying to be general contractor on something like building the house.
