OT, but lookout! Both sides do it!
Here’s McConnell:
“When the speaker has had conversations with the president over the last three years, they have always insisted on a $1 trillion tax increase — revenue scored by the Congressional Budget Office. That’s their demand for any major entitlement reform. But we don’t think we should have to pay a ransom to do what the country needs.”
See! Obama is demanding ransom too! Both sides do it! Orgasm time for NPR, give them a fucking towel.
I predict that the Rethugs will be saying “ransom” over and over again for the next 30 years now.

Lord, the Gators suck. It’s going to be a long season.
You need to spend some time rooting for a team that’s actually bad. The last time the Gophers finished at .500 in Big 10 play was 2005-06. Since then they’re 15-38 in conference games.

@fuckwit: Poor NPR, they have tied themselves into a pretzel in order to avoid republican defunding. (Which will never happen). Instead, they’ve been alienating their most fervent supporters.
Yet I still enjoy “Car Talk” (their laughter is infectious) and “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me”. I used to love Diane Rehm before she was personally targeted but now, it’s mainly inside the beltway “polite” arguing. Fortunately, she still has some authors and apolitical shows that are delightful.
re NPR: they’re the kids who hand over their lunch money whenever anyone looks at them mean.
And then say “both sides”.

@efgoldman: The women’s gymnastics team finished fourth at the NCAAs last year. The women’s swimming and diving team finished tenth. The women’s softball team was very good. The women’s volleyball team is consistently one of the top fifteen teams in the country (although currently ranked 17th).
You may notice a trend in the non-hockey sports we do well. And, of course, the women’s hockey team has now won 54 games in a row.

Yup, that’s what matters, not that the college president gutted the undergrad core curriculum, bloodlet in the graduate programs, poor mouthed the agricultural extension program (but backpedaled fast when the AG-Rho alumni screamed–Florida’s economy depends on ag, and UF is a land grant institution), dismantled the award-winning documentary journalism program, tried to smash a very successful computer science program, refused stimulus funds while routing state funds–millions–to Perry construction to build more research buildings badly using illegal labor (even if they’re documented, which is unlikely, he’s not paying unemployment tax on his laborers).
Machen and the football coach take home millions while Gainesville, Florida ranks 5th nationally in income inequality, a third of all children in the county live below the poverty line, food insecurity is endemic, an enormous homelessness problem remains unsolved b/c tptb won’t get off their ass (they have a building and the funds but keep twiddling their thumbs). UF pays minimum wage for physical plant workers who have to work two full time jobs to keep body and soul together and they took a 3% pay CUT for Rick Scott so he can f*tz up their retirement, which WAS adequately funded before he showed up and starting busting up the state worse than Jeb even did.
The lege gerrymandered the region, depriving the county of the moderate R state senator who kept the place from complete ruin via privatization $$$cams and put a religious wingnut from suburban (=white flight) Jacksonville in the seat who somehow got the notion that when Jesus told that parable about day laborers that what he was really saying was that the laborers insisting they get paid at the end of the day creates and unhealthy business climate that makes job creators uncertain and isn’t right for the state as a whole. It also forced the entire UF community into Ted Yoho’s district so those same research buildings filled with NIH grant flunkies can get pink-slipped due to sequester.
On the city commission, a UF controlled limosine liberal majority drove the ship of state into an iceberg, which is ironic because their sailing plan called for a jaunt in tropical waters. The city is now bleeding money and–bonus!–there is a pollution plume approaching the water supply for Gainesville at a rate of several feet a year (if we’re lucky). Faux populist Gopers rode the wave of anger into office while civil war broke out between the cronied up county Dem party and the African America voting bloc. The city spent over $1mill to rebuild an existing bike path bridge next to campus while slashing food, housing, and energy bill aid to the poor, and $20,000 on art on the downtown fire station while planning to kick out the DFH hippies next door who made the place livable so they can relocate same fire station in a few years.
