Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

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

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

No one could have predicted…

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

This blog will pay for itself.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

People are weird.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

    Gene Hackman double bill: The French Connection and The Poseidon Adventure.

    (Or as I prefer to call it: “Titanic” with all of the boring bits cut out.)

    Neverwinter is a fairly decent free to play MMO run by one of the most inept companies around.

    Holy crap. If you didn’t catch it, check out the opening number to Sunday night’s Tony Awards with Neil Patrick Harris. (Watch it full screen, as they pulled out all the stops for stagecraft.)

    Absolutely now firmly ensconced in the top 5 opening production numbers ever done for the Tonys.

    There was a piece in the NYT on Sunday with the breakdown of Repub vs. Dem senators on Sunday shows. Granted Media Matter has been telling us this a long time but it’s still pretty amazing to see actual numbers on this.

    I am assuming the shows would say you would have to take into consideration the number of Obama admin officials showing up but my guess is that the numbers weren’t off that much during the Bush admin either.

    I can’t sleep. Had a nightmare that vines were coming through the walls of the room. They were going to smother me and I couldn’t kill them fast enough.

    Unless you love struggle, for Bob’s sake don’t plant Hedera Helix. And unless you really hate yourself don’t plant it next to a cactus that you like. That was my afternoon and my hands are paying for it.

    As recommended by someone here I’ve just started reading Flann O’Brien’s At Swim Two Birds.

    I like the writing and I’ll stay with it, but I’m on the fence so far because I’m allergic to Meta in literature. Books about writers, films about films and rock and roll about, well, you get the idea, violate my general principle that art should be something other than itself. Self reference kinda spoils the whole thing for me.
    But I’ll keep reading.

    @Ultraviolet Thunder:

    Eh, it’s funny. That saves it from being pretentious.

    If you want a backup that is hilariously funny and definitely not meta: Kingsley Amis, Lucky Jim.

    @Splitting Image: The Poseidon Adventure is on my list of all time awful movies. The plot, acting and character development were so ham handed that I was rooting for injuries and death for all involved.

    And regarding that ending: When you cut a hole through the hull into an air pocket at the bottom of the ship, the air rushes out of the hole and the ship goes down in a flash. It doesn’t just sit there as if it was upside down in a parking lot. I wanted to throw stuff at the screen when I saw that movie in the theater.

    I hate that damn song. I’m a longtime Cave fan, but I’m sick of that whole “I loved her so much I had to kill her” schtick. It’s bullshit. If you actually love somebody you don’t bash her head in with a fucking rock.
