Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Books are my comfort food!
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.
Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.
Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity
These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.
They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.
I really should read my own blog.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing.
They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.
You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Here’s a comparison pic of our 2 little bunnies when each was 6 mo old. love those chicks.

@ranchandsyrup: Just received cute overload!
Wondering if you made it to Coachella, or was that another commenter?
Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader
Do you still get to meet the press on Meet The Press or is that an anachronistic holdover from the early days of television?
Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader
Who the hell gets up that early on a Sunday anyway?

@ranchandsyrup:
Adorable! Which is which?
ranchandsyrup
@Paul in KY: Thanks! That was me. We gave up our tickets for Coachella. Just couldn’t make it work. :( Make sure you report back on yr festival/summer concert experiences, Paul.

@ranchandsyrup: Too cute! Enjoy your little ones. I just went through my first Easter with my youngest away at college. (sniff . . . )
Whoever said about children “The days are long, but the years are short” had it right.
ranchandsyrup
@SiubhanDuinne: oldest is on the right. M is on the left.
@cckids: had the grandparents in town and they were saying the same thing. We definitely appreciated the weekend and thanks for the sage reminder. :)

@Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader:
I get up early on Sunday, but that’s to bake rather than to watch stupid Sunday morning TV. Also, too, if you get up early during the week, it can be hard to switch gears and get up much later on the weekends anyway.
Paul in KY
@ranchandsyrup: Sorry you couldn’t go. Will keep you posted. 25 days till Hangout!
Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader
@Roger Moore: I meant normal people.

@ranchandsyrup:
Twins/ Quite the adventure! Ours are fraternal BG 8 year olds, and every day is a surprise.

I have a friend whose voice is every bit as low as Peter Tosh’s and yet he chooses to sing way up in Neil Young land. Mystifying. I’ve sent him videos of The Wailers of this era. No dice.
The precision of this band (The Wailers) is awe inspiring, btw. Not one note out of place.
ranchandsyrup
@Wag: Sorry, wasn’t clear–ours aren’t twins. Just recreated the pic of big sister at 6 months with our 6 month old over the weekend.
I bet every day does contain a surprise or two for you with the twins!

@Jewish Steel:
My friends all say I should stick to Johnny Cash at karaoke, so I can relate.
Paul in KY
@Jewish Steel: Just heard of a reggae act that I’d never heard of before (you probably have though). Check out Barrington Levy.
Punchy
I think it’s funny that Idaho (and others) are about to legalize the open (concealed?) carry of guns on college campuses. Shit like this will be a weekly occurrance. Hope they can cram for finals and titrate acids/bases in their sheltering location.

@Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader:
Air time no longer equals Eyeball time. You can even find transcripts and read it — should you be in Massachistic Mode. People aren’t “consuming” MTP & etc. because the programs are not a trusted, high value, source of political analysis.
Jewish Steel
@Paul in KY: Woo OHH OH OH!
@DougJ: The impulse to climb up through the registers is brought on by the noise of the band. It’s the only way you can hear yourself sometimes. I started out in a lower register, but now I can hit the E below high C in my falsetto and the B below that in my regular voice. Approaching metal territory _\../

Know how some of the front pagers state that they think we shouldn’t be sending humans into space, especially to explore places like the moon and mars? Well, I have something that I think really is a waste: Climbing Mt. Everest. A bunch of people get killed over something that really isn’t unique. Also, I think it should be called Mt. Sherpa, since they had been climbing it for a long time.

Louie Gohmert Wants Congress To Arrest Eric Holder
BY Brian Tashman on Monday, 4/21/2014 1:20 pm
In an interview Friday on the Family Research Council’s Washington Watch, Rep. Louie Gohmert said that Congress should considering passing a resolution directing the sergeant at arms to arrest Attorney General Eric Holder.
FRC president Tony Perkins repeated his suggestion from earlier this month that the House sergeant at arms should have “slapped the cuffs on” Holder and “stuffed him down there in the cell in the Capitol” during the State of the Union Address in response to the House GOP’s 2012 vote to hold Holder in contempt of Congress.
In response, Gohmert suggested Republicans consider passing “a resolution directing the Sergeant at Arms to detain anyone who is in contempt of Congress.”
“There is a cell there on Capitol Hill,” he added.

@Jewish Steel: Thanks for link. Yup, that’s the real shit there.

@Belafon: While you may think it’s a “waste”, it is a very significant source of income for Nepal and for the Sherpa community. Nepal could simply stop issuing climbing permits tomorrow if it wanted to.

@rikyrah:
These are the same clowns who want to stop his pay, right? Just what is their beef with the guy?
Roger Moore
@Belafon:
Apparently most of the people climbing Mt. Everest these days are rich wannabes rather than top climbers. They want to be able to claim they climbed the highest mountain on Earth, but with oxygen it isn’t even close to the most challenging. It’s a perfect goal for good but not world-class climbers with a ton of money.
Belafon
@Gin & Tonic: I bet the Sherpas would be very good at exploring other planets.
Yep, and a number of them died recently. I don’t begrudge them for wanting the money, but I still think it’s a waste.
Roger Moore
@Amir Khalid:
He’s not giving them impeachment material on Obama. You might also have noticed a certain physical characteristic he shares with the President that drives a lot of them crazy.
Paul in KY
@Amir Khalid: I think it’s Attorney Generaling while Blah.
Gin & Tonic
@Roger Moore: Precisely. If people climbed it like Reinhold Messner, there’d be almost no ascents, and almost no cash being generated. For those who are unfamiliar, he climbed it in 1980 solo, without oxygen.

@Amir Khalid: Three guesses and the first two don’t count.

@Amir Khalid: He’s not in jail or dead.

CBS Sunday Morning is about the only sunday morning show I look forward to watching because of the interesting stories and profiles and barely any politics. I’ve have enough of insane politics by Friday.
