Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

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

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

You cannot shame the shameless.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Consistently wrong since 2002

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

“But what about the lurkers?”

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

    @? Martin: Well at least they don’t have to worry about the money angle by joining an established network. Let’s see how they run with this.

    @? Martin: It’s an interesting idea. I think they have a point about online media failing by needlessly transferring the constraints of the old technology onto digital platforms. But the elephant in the room is figuring out a monetization model that works.

    As A transformers fan and a cinephile (cult) I hate Michael Bay with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns.

    @Yatsuno: It sure does. I tried like hell to sleep but finally just gave up. And soon I have to drive 150 miles. In the rain. This will require a considerable amount of strong coffee.

    @Yatsuno: @Betty Cracker: That sux. I’m up to get Mrs. P off to work, but at least I can take a nap after she’s gone – if I can fall back asleep. Our wunnerful new daily schedule, up at 4:30 to beat the some DC traffic.

    @Betty Cracker:

    Betty, good luck to you. Sorry to hear of the parents’ health issues.

    And thanks for introducing me to Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild.” About halfway through the book, and savoring every chapter.

    I’m not much of a movie fan in general, but I’m looking forward to taking Bottle Rocket to see the Lego Movie. And he’s counting the minutes until it comes out.

    This seems no more absurd or laughable than anything else coming out of Hollywood. And its participants deserve credit for being able to laugh at themselves and the project.

    My friend and I took her kids to a Legoland near Toronto (she was driving so I don’t even remember the name of the town.) There was a 3D movie during which they sprayed us with water, dropped “snow” on us, the wind blew, etc., and it was tons of fun! The movie was very clever and entertaining for adults as well as kids. I can see that a full length Lego movie might actually be totally enjoyable.

    I’ve been playing the Lego Marvel’s Super Heroes game, and if the movie is anywhere as fun as that it’ll be worth watching. It’s a kids’ game, but there are TONS of adult jokes and references.
