Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

Consistently wrong since 2002

All hail the time of the bunny!

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

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

I really should read my own blog.

This fight is for everything.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

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

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

    Brazil needs more players named for superheroes. I want to see a holding midfielder called Luke Cage, Power Man.

    Is the typeface on the Italian kit supposed to look 8 bit? Kinda cool. Looks to be all lc too.

    Brazil and Japan seem to taking the fight to the opposition in ther respective matches. Could this portend victory for them?

    What is sports, if not war by other means?

    @bill d:

    No, he’d be on that Brazilian team where everyone is named for historical persons, along with this guy.

    It is way too bad that Italy beat Japan. Japan would have been much better in the semis than Italy with all their injuries. And, it would have been interesting to see Spain vs a new team rather than the same old Italy.

    @efgoldman:
    They are. I was going with the British style of referring to the collection of players (plural) rather than the team (singular).

    Mexico seems to get worse with every game they play. They better make a change soon or this will be their only trip to brasil

    Mexico miss their penalty, but it looks too late for Japan to get a draw.
    ETA: Just how do you miss a rebound from only four yards out?

    And Dilma Rousseff heaves an enormous sigh of relief….

    Glad I stuck around for the second forty-five minutes after a dreary first half.

    Two magnificent goals (out of four) for Brazil (one from guile, one from strength, both gorgeously skillful), but some suspect defending throughout.

    Oh, let’s not forget the historic World Cup match that led to the practice of playing simultaneously the two last matches in the round-robin stage of international football tournaments.
