Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

White supremacy is terrorism.

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

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

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

People are weird.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

Republicans in disarray!

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Hello kiddies. Did you miss me?

I’ve been quite the jetsetter these last few months, and I regret that I have been neglecting you all. My psychologist, Doctor Manfredsen, says that my blogger fatigue is responding to treatment.

I’m currently holed up in a Moscow airport hotel with no wifi and cockroaches the size of fucking beagles. The blankets made crackling noises when I first sat down on them. Mind you, there’s lots of vodka and a cute night-manager with generous ideas about customer service. Life could be worse.

What are you listening to? Bonus points for gratuitous shirt off action.

    @Redshirt:

    For the last two days I’ve been holed up in a Moscow airport hotel with no fucking wifi. Mind you, there’s lots of vodka.

    More generally, I’ve been wearing off my post-election blogger fatigue. I’m hoping regular posting will kick in any day now.

    How are you? Have you all been behaving in my absence?

    What do you get when you start with a couple of guys from the Mars Volta and add a female singer from a Guadalajara punk band?

    Bosnian Rainbows. Strange, but very interesting.

    I cannot stop listening to Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”. Yes, I know. And every time I hear it, all I can think of is that he is the real-life Mike Seaver.

    Supposedly “Growing Pains” took place in the town in which I grew up. I did not live in a house that nice.

    Honestly, I didn’t realize how much I missed you until just this moment. Now the void has become crystal clear. Glad you’re kinda back. The mystery that is SPaT enlivens my dull little life.

    @Suzanne: I’m right there with you. Great song to cycle to.

    @Sarah, Proud and Tall: I did put up a caveat. I personally think the gratuitous clothes shedding should have been more equitable.

    @Suzanne: The nudity is just…random. I get the feeling Robin’s spousal unit was nowhere near that studio while that was being filmed. Although I will give them minor credit for showing women beyond a size zero and a DD.

    more equitable

    @Yatsuno: This. If I want to see boobs, all I have to do is look down. I want biceps, pecs and a six pack to look at, thank you very much.

    Sarah, why don’t you commit some minor offense at airport security and get sent to the zone that Snowden is in?

    Or surely you have connections with MI-6 and could be of service to them? Is it true you had an affair with Ian?

    @Yatsuno: I think it’s hilarious because of it’s randomness. I mean, there’s boobs….and a goat. It’s fabulous.

    The song is catchy as all hell, too. I feel like Justin Timberlake is kicking the hell out of himself for not writing any songs as good as that. The two JT songs on the radio pale in comparison.

    @Yatsuno: as much of a feminist as I am, I know that dudes should get naked just as much as the girls, but…..I just am not that interested in seeing naked dudes a lot. C-ock is really a very form-follows-function thing for me, whereas boobs are just awesome.

    No. And nothing ever will.

    Indeed; it should have it’s own wing in the GSOA Hall of Fame. Bonus points for flexing and being oiled up.

    ETA: As I recall, Will Smith in Bad Boys went shirtless for no reason an awful lot. It’s a contender.

    Wasn’t there one written in to a Halle Berry for which she received an extra million? Money well spent.

    What makes you think I’m not already in the zone that Snowden is in?

    I never kiss and tell, dear. Oh, no, wait, that was someone else.

    Thanks. I’m off to google frantically.

    When you get back to good ol’ Spokane, maybe you’ll get this stuck in your head:

    Tokyo Police Club–Party in the USA

    If you meet up with some pasty-faced geek looking to bum some weed and a little Internet access, just stay away. Unless you eventually want to end up either in Ecuador or in a meeting with a shirtless Putin, although I suspect you’ve already done both those things.

    It’s ok. They’ve got him stashed down the hallway in one of the cheap rooms where the inside door handle has “fallen off”. The Ecuadorian ambassador is apparently on his way up to see what my offer is.

    I’ve never seen shirtless Putin, although he did once goose me in a lift.

    It’s my understanding that’s how Russian men introduce themselves to strange women. Or he was testing waters, he is a single man now you know.

    Just got in from Day 4 of Summerfest; listened to Think Floyd, a pretty good Pink Floyd cover band from Chicago; The Meat Puppets, Cracker, and a great young band from Halifax named Soho Ghetto.

    There’s a ringing in my ears that’s heaven sent, as Dave Pirner would say….

    @Burnspbesq: For all the shit you take on this blog (you know what I mean) you sure have excellent musical taste.

    And for that alone, I thank you :)

    I’m listening to the tv in the background, which is good enough for my tired ass. :) I finally located the source of an annoying noise in the front of the engine in our Mustang, which turned out to be a loose centering ring for the V belt pulley on the SFI harmonic balancer I installed years ago. It’s no real problem other than the annoying noise but I pulled it apart and put a little silicone on it to fix it in place. The company who made it cut the lock ring a few thousandths of an inch short and over the years it gradually wore loose a bit. It really isn’t necessary once the V belt pulley is bolted on but I figured I would keep it in place.

    Rebuilt both alternators while I was at it so they should be good for another 23 years. Yes, two alternators. For the two batteries in the car. Dual ignition systems too.

    We travel in it so I want a reliable and fast car. :)
