Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

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

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

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

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

The willow is too close to the house.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

T R E 4 5 O N

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

“woke” is the new caravan.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

    Steve seems to know how to play the non-resident hoomins real well-as long as they don’t groom their backside.

    Your friend is wise, it is best to approach someone armed with sharp claws and teeth with caution. I gave both my kittehs a pawdicure this morning and got lightly scratched for my efforts. They do not surrender their weapons of furniture destruction without a fight.

    @Omnes Omnibus: As an ex-Illinoian, It’s been tough trying to keep up with the machinations of what’s been going on over there; it seems like the local billioniare is lining up to take the GOP slot, but with this distraction who the hell knows what’s happening.

    @schrodinger’s cat: My kitteh has no front claws-but he more than makes up for it with his fangs (I adopted him in that condition, and he’s been with me for the majority of his existance.)

    We have a professional cut Keaton’s and Charlotte’s claws. They’re much to willing to bite us for us to do it ourselves (plus we need to do something with them while the housecleaners are doing their thing).

    @Omnes Omnibus: Someone mentioned on this blog recently that their are rumors that Rutherford is gay. I don’t see any way to know whether this is dirty tricks on the other candidate’s part, kind of a back-door way of bringing up the gay issue, or whether Rutherford has actually done something unseemly.

    Either way it’s depressing. I get to vote for the democratic Governor Quinn who is helping to screw with our state pensions.

    This is, I suppose, OT; or is this an open thread?

    Just got a call from my daughter, off in Denver in her 2nd semester of college. She was obviously down, sounded upset but was hemming & hawing around, so I finally asked her what was wrong. She says “now, DON’T FREAK OUT , but . . . . .” (long, long pause while I quietly began to freak out), “but. . . the box you sent me? I know the tracking says it was delivered, but I asked at the desk and they don’t have it!!”

    Now I’m laughing, because the box had Valentine’s cookies & candy + an Itunes card, not exactly a huge loss. I had to tell her, when you’re in college & a parent gets a call saying “don’t freak out” we’re thinking that sentence will end with “I think I’m pregnant” or “someone stole my car” or something else horrifying/expensive/tragic. She thinks I’m kind of mean to laugh at her.

    Perspective. Comes easier to the old, I guess.

    @Omnes Omnibus:
    I’m from his area, but all of this was news to me. I’ve been entertaining myself with all the campaign invitations and solicitations I’m getting from him, since he’s the last person I would vote for, and since I’m on the list because the campaign believes my job means I’m a wingnut. So, so wrong.

    Even people who like him think he’s toast.

    @JohnCole, glad to hear your dad is doing ok. Will still keep all of you in my thoughts. Gla d Steve and Shawn are there to take your mind off of it.

    Happy Valentine’s Day to the rest of you guys!

    @Helen:

    He has both hands on the brush, instead of firmly gripping some part of the cat with one hand. The way he’s doing it, he can’t get any purchase on the animal at all, so at most there’s going to be some light tickling of the fur, but no actual fur will be groomed at all. In other words, UR doing it rong.

    @Mnemosyne: I am out of practice, I used to clip their claws once every 3 weeks but have been slacking off lately. I got scratched on my forehead this morning when boss kitteh walked on my head with his sharp claws, so he got a pawdicure.

    Decided not to go mattress shopping tonight, my younger sister called and that wore me out. Does anyone know if QuickBooks is good for bill paying/book keeping for a small business?

    Glad your dad is ok John.

    @Dee Loralei: I used quickbooks for my business a few years back, my folks have used it as well. It gets everything done you need to get done, and you can tailor it to what you need.

    @gogol’s wife:

    But I thought Cole’s army buddy was using the furriminimurratator contraption. TYou just touch the dang cat with it and all the fur’s already bagged and ready to go. Like magic, right?

    Or, have I been mislead again by a Balloon-Juice product endorsement?

    @Dee Loralei: My sister and her husband use it for their bakery successfully. Some operator errors, but no problems I know of that I’d blame on the application.

    Wise move.

    If he read that NYT article on cat scratches, he’d never go near a cat again (or leave the house).

    In one instance, Michalowski alleges Rutherford invited him to the treasurer’s home in Chenoa for what was purported to be an “office retreat,” but no other employees showed up, and after dinner, while Michalowski was in the guest bedroom, Rutherford came in and grabbed Michalowski’s genitals.

    First of all, I know the state employees don’t have budget, but I can’t imaging retreating in my bosses house. But then I can’t see just not showing up. Rutherford seems to have authority issue.

    Also, I’m not buying that attempted groping and invitations to hotel rooms lead to spinal fluid leaks. The whole thing seems a little hogwashy.

    OK, so to improve this T&H masterpiece, recommend smashing it to bits with a big fucking hammer, dousing it with gasoline, and setting the monstrosity on fire. Preferably outside the house. Otherwise try to sell it for $3 at a yard sale.

    @Mike in NC: You do know, don’t you that the mural is JC’s very favorite piece of art… IIRC, it was commissioned by JC. Remember the saying “there’s no accounting for taste.”

    @Mike in NC: Fuck you. I love that piece and I have the battle scars and combat patch from back in the day that lets me say- “FUCK YOU, I LOVE THE DEAD, I LOVE THAT PIECE, IT MAKES ME HAPPY, AND DID I MENTION FUCK YOU.”

    You don’t like it, don’t buy one. You’re like Brent Bozell bitching about Janet Jackson’s titty at the Super Bowl- “OMG, I HATE THAT AND MUST LET EVERYONE KNOW WHY I AM RIGHT.” Change the fucking channel, Bozell and Mike in NC.

    @Omnes Omnibus: there was a bit of a reshuffle last week about Rutherford and his current assistant sharing hotel rooms when they travel, he claimed he was “being frugal”. Dude seems to be deep in the closet, and the fact that he’s apparently hiding it will hurt him worse than being gay would.

    @Dee Loralei:
    I used it in my last business. My accountant made me purchase it and set it up for me. Does everything a small business needs and interfaced with my inventory/sales program. If you’ve never done any accounting it will take a bit to get up to speed but has many tutorials that help.

    @drkrick: Buddy. I doubt anyone here is of the Pigpen era. I saw them in 73 my first time and he was already dead then. Let us just agree that Brent rocked way better than Keith or Vince. That man had soul. He played with his emotions right there on the keys. I miss Brent. But the boy was stupid messin’ with needles. What are ya gonna do?

    Oh yea, John please don’t try to get him to shave your cat’s ass again. Unless you videotape it and show it here.

    @kindness: Hey, wait a minute! Saw the Dead with Pigpen at the Santa Monica Civic, the Pasadena Civic and the El Monte Legion Stadium back in the day. Great shows and Pigpen would work the crowd into a frenzy when he closed the show with either Lovelight or Good Lovin’. I knew there was a reason that I liked Cole, he’s another Dead Head…
