Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

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

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

Joe Biden can go out like FDR, not by dying in office, but by crushing the fascists.

Republicans in disarray!

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

White supremacy is terrorism.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

ha ha ha! Nice try weird people.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

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

“Loving your country does not mean lying about it’s history.”

Usually wrong but never in doubt

This post is in: ,

Shawn and I are about to watch Stripes on the blu-ray thingamabob because both of us were processed and spent a couple weeks at the same billets before being moved to Disney Barracks for OSUT and because Harold Ramis died this week. And because it was one of the first blu-rays I purchased because I love the damned movie (Blazing Saddles was my first) so much that I could watch it 100 more times.

You?

    Disney, Ft Knox! Ft Knox has changed so much the last 5 years. It’s so different now that the Armor School has left and HRC is here now. Personally, I get depressed everyday when I go there. Totally different mentality now. Miss the tankers!

    You?

    Some old friends are coming over. We’re gonna show some pornographic movies.

    Not really, but I always wanted to throw that movie line out to a response of what I’m doing for the weekend.

    The Gophers played a workmanlike game to take game 1 of their playoff series with St. Cloud 4-1. They weren’t great but they didn’t have to be. That runs their record to 33-1-1 and 82 wins in their last 84 games.

    Working on an online reel because, apparently, you can’t get hired in digital these days without one.

    Pretending this hasn’t been one of those weeks when the body has forgotten how to sleep except at the most unconventional times and then only in fits and spurts.

    This too shall pass.

    Guess I’ll keep working. I’ve got Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony on the Pandora.

    I caught Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 last night and got to see Ramis say my favorite line:

    “Do you have any hobbies, Mr. Spengler?”
    “I collect mold, spores, and fungus.”

    I’m laughing out loud again.

    I finally got a decent work laptop. Sweet Jesus it’s nice to be able to compile and host in less than 30 minutes.

    Working through BSG season 1 on Blu Ray. Sure missed a lot back when it was first broadcast.

    Blazing Saddles was your first Blu-Ray? Good man, Cole. Good man. My most-watched movie of all time. Never gets old.

    You’ve got to remember that these are just simple teabaggers … these are people of the land … the common clay of the New West. You know – morons.

    We do “Family Movie Night” every Friday, and I wanted to show the boys Groundhog Day. But it wasn’t on Netflix and you could only buy it on Amazon (not rent).

    @Omnes Omnibus: The Armor School moved to Ft Benning, GA. It was depressing seeing all those soldiers, tanks and the school move out. The last courses moved out about July 2011. It was all due to BRAC and so much knowledge was lost.

    I went to boot camp in 1981, and then Stripes came out. Given my recent indoctrination and mindset at the time, I was Not Amused at some of the scenes. I’ve grown out of it.

    I did basic training at Ft. Knox back in January-March 1985. Delta Company, 13th Battalion, 4th Training Brigade. I didn’t have nearly as much fun as Bill and Harold had.

    Lighten up, Francis!

    I was reading that great interview of Kurt Russell on Aint It Cool News. It reminded me of the early 80’s when all those classic movies like Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Stripes, The Thing, Airplane & Escape from New York were all the rage. I was 12 in 1980 so that was jsut the right age to be heavily influenced by those movies. I remember how excited we’d get when we could jimmy the cable box to get a grainy view of the movies. Ahh, good times…

    Luckily my parents were pretty cool so I did get to see a few of those in the theater.

    @Hawes: Same here with the Friday movie night. You may want to try Ghostbusters – it’s the only Ramis/Murray movie I was able to find streaming there. All others require the DVD plan.

    Animal house: Kid reading Playboy about to jack-off. Girl thrown through the window onto his bed. “Thank you, Jesus!” Best sight/sound gag ever.

    True Detective tonight, holy shit!
