Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Let’s finish the job.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

This blog will pay for itself.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

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

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

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

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The willow is too close to the house.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

    Yeah, I saw that. Hope he’s okay. Probably just frustration with the assholes he has to deal with every day, day in and day out.

    Heard that news this morning. So far, everyone is saying it doesn’t sound all that dire. Let’s hope that’s true. I’ve had my differences with Harry Reid over the past few years, but he’s come through in the pinch more than once, and in any case I wish him well.

    Harry Reid is one tough mutherfucker. He was bit by a snake once, and after 5 days of excruciating pain, the snake died.

    … although I would have given a lot to be in Romney campaign HQ the night of November 6, 2012.

    AP says Reid is released. It was exhaustion. But now he’s cleared to go back to work. (Maybe the good news about marriage equality in Utah helped.)

    Give ’em Hell, Harry!

    He is a wicked and effective inside fighter… he gets all of it and I hope he is well and stays well

    Glad to hear he’s on the mend. He gets a lot of flak, but he plays a lousy hand as well as anyone could more often than not.

    Glad Reid is doing better and glad he did the right thing and got checked out in the hospital. Also glad that beginning January 1st, so many more people can afford to do that very same thing if they need to without worrying they’ll lose their house in the process.

    The Ohio Supreme Court upheld Gov. John Kasich’s expansion of Medicaid coverage to an estimated 275,000 poor, uninsured Ohioans today.
    In a 4-3 ruling, the court found that the state Controlling Board, a bipartisan legislative panel that oversees government spending, acted within state law when it accepted federal aid to fund the expansion.
    The three dissenting justices – Justices Terrence O’Donnell, Sharon Kennedy and Judy French – said they would have dismissed the case without issuing a ruling on its merits.
    “The role of the judiciary is to decide legal questions,” O’Donnell wrote. “This case, however, involves a political question concerning whether a legislative agency acted contrary to the policy goals of the General Assembly.”

    Snicker, snicker .

    Exactly what y’all two said. The man’s a tough motherfucker with his heart in all the right places, and never deserved a word of the shit that’s been said about him.

    Last I saw, Yats was kinda freaking out over white stuff. Never could determine if he was talking about snow or meds.

    @BruinKid: The tweets with photos have been awesome. The last one I saw showed a crowded corridor and said that the line for marriage licenses at the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office was about 200 deep. It’s a wonderful spontaneous celebration, and just in time for Christmas and New Year’s. Just great.

    @geg6: Yeah. Ol’ Harry’s fine now, that’s what I hear on the radio news.

    But what about the wrecked car? No car pix!?? I thought was going to be a new feature on this full service blog. I figured the car would be there until the end of the world, and we would get car pix and rants on a regular basis.

    @jl:

    This is a Harry Reid thread, not a car-in-a- field thread. That will come later, after the Piglets-are-sleeping-and-Steve-is-floofy thread.

    Some of us know how to pace these things.

    Betty Cracker called it earlier today:

    The Village will have their annus horribilis narrative, and that is that.

    And now Google News shows a headline from the Daily Beast (is that still around?):

    Obama’s Annus Horribilis

    Maybe whoever wrote that lurks here.

    I can’t tell you how proud I am that a Malaysian is taking centre stage in the run-up to this weekend’s Liverpool-Cardiff match in the EPL. (Not!) Vincent Tan, billionaire CEO and Master of The Universe, seems to have the idea that Cardiff is one of Berjaya Group’s smaller subsidiaries, and manager Malky Mackay a lowly department supervisor.

    Reid’s a former boxer, and has been acting like it the last couple of years. Maybe he got hospitalized because his fists were tired.

    SO is Utah now – officially or otherwise – the 18th marriage-equality state? I can’t imagine the Lege would let this go without some sort of fight, but since it was their SC’s decision, is there an alternative? Or have those overreaching liberal America-hating enemies-of-decency (on the Utah Supreme Court? Riiiight….) shoved another slab of slithering Satanism down the throats of God-botheringfearing Americans???

    But, is he tougher than Chuck Norris?

    Not very likely: the only person tougher than Chuck Norris would be another Chuck Norris; and since there is only one Chuck Norris, the answer would be “no”.

    This is being handled poorly, isn’t it? Did tan get his MBA at the Mitt Romney School of Business Maladministration?

    Gotta feel for the Cardiff supporters.

    Oops. my bad: it was a [insert appropriate epithets HERE] FEDERAL judge who stuck down Utah’s ban on SSM. “RTWT” is actually a pretty usueful concept…
