Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

    So GMF doesn’t mean Genetically Modified Feline, then?

    I think that’s just as well, all things considered.

    Parbleu! I don’t see, when I look
    myself over, any ground whatever for discon-
    tent. I have property, I am young, I belong
    to a house which has certain good reasons to
    call itself noble; and I think, through the
    rank to which my blood entitles me, there are
    very few stations in life that I cannot fill. As
    to courage, of which, of course, we ought to
    think first, I know, without vanity, that I am
    not lacking there; I have been seen by the
    world to carry on an affair in a sufficiently
    vigorous and dashing manner. As for wit,
    there’s no question but what I have that, and
    with it enough good taste to judge without
    study, and to talk about everything. At the
    theatre, of which I am truly an idolator, I
    can wear a wise face, decide the fortunes
    of a play, and lead the applause at all the fine
    speeches which merit hurrahs. I’m sufficiently
    active; I’ve a good air and good looks, above
    all fine teeth, and my figure is slim. As to
    my style of dressing, I think, without vanity
    that any one would be foolish to rival me
    there. My position in the world is as good as
    can be; the fair sex adore me; I stand well
    with the king; and, therefore, my dear mar-
    quis, I see, on all sides, every reason to be
    satisfied with myself.

    I really feel for NC residents. I have family there so I pay more attention to NC politics. The Republican controlled legislature is really mucking things up in the state introducing rotten bill after rotten bill. Then I read at TPM that a Republican strategist stabbed a couple of Democratic strategists and the wife died this morning. Horrifying.

    For biting an opponent’s arm in Sunday’s Premier League match, Liverpool FC star striker Luis Suarez has been suspended for 10 matches (the rest of this season, and the first six matches of the next.) The normal suspension for a red-card offence is just three matches.

    This isn’t Suarez’s first long suspension, or even his first for biting. Per the BBC, when at Ajax Amsterdam he was banned for seven matches after he bit PSV Eindhoven’s Otman Bakkal on the shoulder in November 2010.

    Then, after coming to Liverpool, he was banned for eight matches and fined £40,000 by the FA for racist verbal abuse of Manchester United’s Patrice Evra in December 2011.

    Liverpool FC have complained that Suarez’s latest punishment is harsh. Given his previous record, I must disagree.

    Speaking of laughing more, I recently read a funny comment (Gawker?). While making fun of that New Hampshire state rep who is suggesting that the marathon bombing was a government conspiracy, someone postulated the motive was to find an excuse to confiscate all pressure cookers. The brilliant response was, “First they came for the Easy-Bake Ovens…”

    So the baby blanket I was trying to make for my friend at work turned into a disaster (hmm, perhaps working on a semi-complicated pattern while sitting with my sick/dying father was not the best idea), so I went back to an old favorite. This, IMO, is particularly good because I made the same blanket in girly colors for the baby’s older sister when she was born (almost three years ago — yikes!). His version is going to be white and brown with a green border because I could not find any blue cottons that I liked.

    @bemused: Actually, the man they’re charging in the stabbing is another Dem strategist and was the best man at their wedding.

    Why did I watch that entire video? At first I kept thinking something was going to happen. I did like seeing him talking to all those people. I suspected he might get in trouble with that basketball or in the end finally make a basket. But none of that happened.

    And in today’s installment of “if we ban guns, murderers’ll just use hubcaps”:

    http://news.yahoo.com/police-5-people-found-dead-small-ill-town-141757368.html

    MANCHESTER, Ill. (AP) — Authorities are investigating the slayings of five people whose bodies were found in a house in the tiny Scott County community of Manchester. A suspect is in custody.

    Illinois State Police spokeswoman Monique Bond says the victims were found early Wednesday morning in the southwestern Illinois community, 50 miles west of Springfield. She didn’t have any details on the deaths or the circumstances surrounding the capture of the suspect.

    A school superintendent in the area says he was informed by sheriffs early Wednesday morning that the victims had been beaten to death with a dozen Yugo plastic hubcaps. Les Stevens of the North Greene School District says he canceled classes because authorities warned him at the time that the suspect was at large. The district has since been informed that the man was captured.

    Hmm, I must further investigate the musical stylings of this John Grant fellow.
