Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

If a good thing happens for a bad reason, it’s still a good thing.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

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

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Fight them, without becoming them!

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

When we show up, we win.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

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

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

tramadollllllllllllI mentioned a while back that our dog needed surgery. Here’s the one week and two day post-op result. On the plus side, she’s got some fishing line stabilizing her right rear leg, and her bladder no longer has stones. On the minus side, she needs three rounds of physical therapy every day (heat followed by moving the leg around) and she’s otherwise restricted in movement. She’s allowed short walks but only with a sling contraption to support her weight so she doesn’t fall and stretch out the fishing line in her joint. And, of course, there’s the cone.

So, a dog that’s used to a couple of good long walks a day, plus running around the house as she pleases, is confined to a 3×3 space and only allowed a few minutes out per day. She would be going nuts if it weren’t for the modern wonder narcotic, Tramadol. You may have heard of it via the miracle of Internet Spam. When the Tramadol wears off, she starts to think about jumping out of her confined area, jumping on the furniture (forbidden) and running around the house (absolutely forbidden). When the Tramadol is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, the result is what you see at left. I’m the guy Nina Simone was singing about.

    It is so wrong that I laughed at her once my brain figured out what that tangle of parts was. Glad she’s on the mend!

    At least she is going to be better. Given my medical history I thank pasta every day for the advances of the last couple of decades. If I were alive I would probably be wheelchair bound.

    OT: anyone wonder why I have little faith in Pope Frank changing the church substantially? Here is an interesting article seems some true believers were upset that Jews were defiling their church.

    Party at mix’s house!

    BTW, I dug into WP looking for an easy way to pull comments from a different table. No dice, at least easily. At first glance it looks like it requires rewriting major parts of the core. But I did have another idea.

    How about a separate install of WP and using some mod_rewrite tricks to automagically divert urls from 30+ days to the other installation?

    @Schlemizel: I think you may have left a word or two out of your first paragraph :)

    Re your link, if you’re going for 100% of any group to fulfill your expectations/hopes, I think you’re going to be disappointed. A group of nutbars protested, were kicked out, and the interfaith ceremony continued. I have no idea whether Francis will be able to effect real and lasting change, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he were, if his papacy lasts over a decade. If not, the odds go lower.

    @dpm (dread pirate mistermix): The real trick is to make it transparent so you don’t loose any SEO mojo. You could make links to old stories (say from google) still return the story from www, but have a link to see the story with comments on archive.b-j.com.

    @Schlemizel: Wow. Jews worship “false gods,” srsly? And this:

    protesters made cutting comments like “the Jews killed Jesus.” He said one Jew confronted them, saying, “My grandmother died in Auschwitz,” to which an activist replied, “Do you belive that lie?”

    Nazi scum. That’s all they are. And they’re a little group of schismatics, besides.

    My dad’s lab was like a pharmacological candy store, so I started real young. Next thing I know, I’m blowing lines of voodoo powder off the back of a monkey’s paw I bought in Calcutta. Now I’m all out of wishes. ~ Action Johnny

    The dog in the car across from me in the supermarket parking lot looks just like your little puppy. This dog is in a Mercedes. A new one. You sure your dog didn’t pull a switcheroo? I hope your dog feels better soon.

    But does she have the special front leg hairdo – an inch band shaved naked about 2 inches up from the paw so the IVs could go in? One mini schnauzer here still rocking that cut until the groomer visits on Tuesday.

    @Schlemizel:

    Meh. Same assholes who have been upset since Pope John XXIII publicly apologized to Jews for the centuries of persecution and removed official anti-Semitism from the liturgy … in the early 1960s.

    They’re Mel Gibson Catholics. They’ve been unhappy since Vatican II and they can go fuck themselves.

    T-dol is a wonder drug.

    Multiple car, motorcycle and work accidents later, it’s the only thing that I can take long term. Doesn’t make you dopy, I’m not sure it evens affects pain that much. But it does prevent muscle spasms and other blow back from the aches, and that all I need to keep moving.
