Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Bark louder, little dog.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Everybody saw this coming.

The words do not have to be perfect.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

    We don’t have enough punting here in the comments sections.

    Is Australian Rules punting or kicking? I never have figured out that sport.

    I don’t think Congress can handle simultaneous punting, since it would require a pair of balls.

    On the other and if it saves face enough for the teatards enough for them to re open the government and raise the debt cealing,…

    Basically my take is the teatards view their role in government as being their to harp on other people, them actually having to legislate is accidental and undesirable. After all, how can one be pure and above reproach when one actually does something? They’ve been trying to force Obama or the Senate to do their job. So this super committee might get them safely way from governing,

    @WereBear: The example I won’t ever let go: in 2006, Constitution Party jerkface Rick Jore was elected to Montana’s legislature. Jore is an outspoken opponent of public education who believes religious homeschooling is the only appropriate course and who opposes all federal funds for schools. So what did the Republican House majority do with this guy? They appointed him to chair the House Education Committee.

    These people actively root for failure.

    @Punchy: Yep. I figure it will waffle around long enough for everyone to pretend this mess never happened and then be ignored like the last one.

    One of the rules of the CFL that I find much better than the US game is that the game has to end with a non-penalized play. None of this shit of walking on the field when there’s still 30 seconds left.

    All you football fans can be glad that McGill University came down to Harvard and introduced the game we play north of the border. Nice to see that the Superbowl is going to be played out in the cold and snow this year.

    Hi Rick,

    Let me explain it you you, Klein.

    What Doug’s doing is using abstruse Twitter messages to call attention to your lack of self awareness. When journalists (is that what you are?) choose to ignore House Republican’s holding the government and, apparently now, economy hostage, and instead talk about a nonexistent situation where “both side do it”, or suggest we just need another committee to work it all out, they, the journalists are punting.

    Punting is lazy and serves their readers/viewers poorly.

    (The bit about Canadian football, that’s just Doug calling you an idiot.)

    You’re welcome.

    @Doug Milhous J: Not for people who can’t reach twitter at all. Embedding depends on running twitter’s javascript, which depends on reaching twitter’s servers. All some of us are seeing is Klein’s tweets.

    I don’t get it.

    But if you’re going to talk about punting, could someone manage to work in the infamous Delta Gamma “c*nt punt” letter into it? Thanks in advance. :-)

    So we appointed a supercommittee? It’s not going to drop another sequester load on top of the already stupid sequester is it?

    At least if it allows Congress to punt on the issues and re-open the government, then they can have all their dog & pony shows.

    EDIT: I look forward to all the conventional wisdom idiots fawning over this.

    Feudalism Now!

    Doug Johnson responds to DougJBalloon to tweet a random truthy statement. The mind of a steel sieve on Mr. Klein.
    The proposed Supercommittee to resolve the results of the previous Supercommittee made up o fmembers of a larger deliberative body. It is a bold concept for an idea bankrupt GoP. I think we should push Klein to support this brave punting strategy.

    @waspuppet:

    What does the period in front of an @somebody tweet mean or do?

    A tweet that starts with an @name will only be seen by that person (and people who follow both the sender and the receiver). The period in front makes it visible to all the sender’s followers.

    Doug, have you never heard the old admonition against trying to teach a pig to sing? Methinks schooling Mr. Klein is a similar fool’s errand. Nonetheless, thanks for trying. He’s just too stupid to breathe without coaching. Don’t waste your bandwidth on this little tool.

    Love it! I wish we could get a glimpse into his head, showing how on earth both teams punting at the same time would even work.

    Being Canadian, I thought I’d bone up on the rules for our Football…we’ve got some weird ones! But I think the NFL should adopt two things – wider fields, and bigger endzones. Players are huge now, give them more space (and the bigger endzone opens up scoring, even the Jaguars would get some points).

    Doug “Le Grand Troll” J –
    A “rouge”? Stop makin’ shit up, OK? Next you’ll be telling us some shit like the Frogs call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese a “Royale with Cheese.”

    You kids, with your “both sides do it” hippie-talk, I swear I don’t know what this country is coming to.

    A fucking “rouge.” Right.

    @Redshirt: the madness in the video is probably legal in the NFL, but nobody would do it because there’s no point.

    The key is that what in the NfL is called a “touchback” is worth one point in a CFL game. Which means the missed field goal, if downed, wins the game for the kicking team.
