Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bark louder, little dog.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

I really should read my own blog.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

    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.
