Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

An almost top 10,000 blog!

He really is that stupid.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

Everybody saw this coming.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Joe Lieberman disappointingly reemerged to remind us that he’s still alive.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Come on, man.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

This fight is for everything.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

    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.
