Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
“woke” is the new caravan.
He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.
I also would like a pony to improve my balloon juice experience.
Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity
You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.
Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.
When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.
Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”
“I was told there would be no fact checking.”
A norm that restrains only one side really isn’t a norm – it’s a trap.
Cancel the cowardly WaPo and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.
Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!
There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.
“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”
This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.
Fear or fury? The choice is ours.
Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.
Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.
Usually wrong but never in doubt
“But what about the lurkers?”

SP&T’s alive!
Are you still in Oz trying to find a way to feed Gina Rinehart to the dingos?
askew
I love Of Monsters and Men. Great selection.
OT – Sen Portman now supports gay marriage since his son came out as gay.

A music themed open thread? Sounds like the perfect time to pimp the newest love of my life, Lindsey Stirling (just don’t tell my wife). That girls got nothing but raw talent and major geek cred.

@askew: Repukes only learn the hard way. /sigh

@PeakVT:
I AM alive, apparently.
I’m still down under. It’s been a busy couple of months, but hopefully I will have a little more time over the next few weeks to post some more than I have been.
Omnes Omnibus
@Del: Cool. Seriously cool.
Yutsano
@askew: Yeah. Same with Dick Cheney. What the fuck does Portman want a cookie?
@Sarah, Proud and Tall: Hello darling. I’ve been meaning to drop you a note but I freely confess to falling down on that task. I take it your gin supply is adequate?
Mnemosyne
That Of Monsters and Men song is on heavy rotation on the two “alternative rock” stations here in Los Angeles, FWIW.
Omnes Omnibus
@Mnemosyne: It was huge in Madison over the summer.
Sarah, Proud and Tall
@Yutsano:
Hello, dear. How are you?
Yes, they have gin down here as well. Who would have thought?
Yutsano
@Mnemosyne: I have always had a soft spot in my heart for female trumpet players. It tends to congregate the macho guys and the women usually blow the doors off the guys.
@Sarah, Proud and Tall: I should hope that a Commonwealth nation would host an adequate supply. I exempt Malaysia from this expectation for obvious reasons.
I’m deciding what creature comforts I can live without since I’ll be forced into a pay cut come May. I’m thinking the housecleaning shall have to go. It’s horrid, but I still have a decent benefit package.
scav
@PeakVT: Well, they do have to make sure that they and theirs get theirs.

That Of Monsters and Men song has been my favorite thing on the radio as f late. I first heard it almost two years ago, and it’s blown up the last couple of months.
Petorado
Sarah – Thanks for the clue-in on Rudimental. They’re like an updated version of Massive Attack for a new era. Their official video for “Not Giving In” has a Danny Boyle-like feel to it and is hella entertaining. “Spoons” is a really cool late night jam you can check out on their site.
dance around in your bones
Whoa – 3 great songs. Thanks, SP&T.

@Yutsano:
Actually, there are plenty of Malaysians who like their gin (not including me, of course, since the legal drinking age for a Muslim is dead-&-gone-to-heaven), and plenty of places where they may drink it. I expect the availability of gin here is quite adequate.

@Amir Khalid:
But what about the Quaaludes?! Gin and ‘ludes!
dance around in your bones
oops.
Amir Khalid
@dance around in your bones:
As elsewhere on Earth, that’s no problem if you know, ahem, the right people.
dance around in your bones
@Amir Khalid:
Really? I thought they had been discontinued, at least in this stupid country (USA). I quite liked them back in the day.
I think I got closest to actually having an orgy on those bad boys. They made you kind of fall in love with whoever was next to you.
eta: Now on Shakira videos. TBogg would approve.
Amir Khalid
@dance around in your bones:
I wasn’t aware Quaaludes had been discontinued. My bad. Haven’t been keeping up on recreational drugs of late, you see. I was just assuming that the local rec-drug retail sector, being such resourceful people and all, could get you anything under the sun.
dance around in your bones
It’s a dead man’s party
who could ask for more?
(since I dance around in my bones)
@Amir Khalid – haven’t taken them for over 30 – 40 years? But yeah, I think they discontinued the disco biscuits a long time ago.
Valdivia
Ms Sarah! you always hit it with the music. I love love love Little Talks. I have been obsessed with that song since the Fall.
ps and good to see you :)
Comrade Mary
Hiya, Sarah!
Just wanted to let you know that you convinced the CBC to play Of Monsters and men just a few minutes ago. Now if you could somehow convince Steven Harper to take a long damn walk …
