Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

Bark louder, little dog.

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

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

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

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

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

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

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Infrastructure week. at last.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

    We had a cat sitter come in to feed the kitties and scoop their poops while we were on vacation, and they seem a little put out that the nice lady isn’t coming by anymore to give them wet food and work the feather toy during the day.

    Somehow, your pups look thrilled to be included.

    Those dogs aren’t using the F-word.

    Unless it’s FOOD!

    Seen today in redder-than-red, very upscale Peachtree City, Georgia: Late model Porsche with a Michelle Nunn bumper sticker. Gave me something to smile about on an otherwise depressing day.

    That photo is for the ages. I’ve been going to PT at Kessler for a couple of weeks, and the art on the walls? Fuck flowers and landscapes; I want pics of dogs like this.

    Well, with one month left on my two-year contract with AT&T, I had to pay an early termination fee to get them to unlock my iPhone so that I can drop a local SIM into it while I am in the UK at the beginning of next month. I’m not changing US carriers, so a waiver would have been nice. But they’re probably mad at me for finally taking the time to wade through their available service offerings and finding the one that increases the data allowance for our three phones and one tablet while reducing the monthly charge by about 60 percent.

    It’s tempting to say that I’ve bought my last subsidized phone, but I’m not saying that until I see the pricing of the iPhone 6.

    Ya win a few, ya lose a few. At least I don’t have to buy a new phone for the kid. iPhone prices in the UK are almost the same amount of pounds as the price of the corresponding model in dollars in the US (ouch!).

    @Gin & Tonic: Not all things are. Family member was coming here earlier this year and looked into buying a Kindle while here. It was cheaper but we decided it might be kind of a pain due to the way the accounts work. She’s older and getting it re-set once she returned to the UK was going to be a potential problem. So she just got one before she left, got it set up there and it worked fine here. Cost a bit more but the amount of hassle saved made it worth it.

    Nelly’s arrived in Ferguson:

    At the risk of exposing my pop-culture ignorance for all the world to see, I am compelled to ask the following question: why does this matter?

    @burnspbesq:
    Nelly. Big rap star, entrepreneur, etc. From St. Louis. Big celeb arrives–causes chaos. Local folks are probably glad for the support. Media is swarming.

    Question:
    I have Amazon Prime. If I buy a movie from their streaming can I play it on
    Any of my devices, just as long as I sign in as myself, or is the purchase device-specific?

    We had a road trip home with the dog today, too. I’m starting to think, after three trips with her, I may have to ask the vet about a sedative. I can’t handle the nonstop weeping. The only thing that will make her stop (briefly) is the preschooler letting her lick his Cheetos-dust-covered fingers and I don’t know that that is an ideal solution for either of them.

    @Nicole: Wow, that must be a pain. Can you do some cognitive behavior therapy with the dog–like take the dog for short trips and the dog gets a treat in the car so the dog associates car with treats? Just something short like around the block. Then work up to longer trips. Might take some work but maybe worth it?

    That doesn’t look like ‘Fuck this shit!’. That looks like

    ‘Damn that was some fun’.

    @AliceBlue:

    The gods they know I am no big fan of Zell Miller. But it was a brilliant political move in this state to get him to endorse Michelle Nunn. A lot of people who might otherwise be reluctant to pull the lever for a D will do so because ole Zell says it’s okay.

    @raven:

    Raven, Raven, Raven. Do not let the perfect get in the way of the doable. See my #35. I loathe Zell, but dammit, if he can influence a significant portion of the Georgia electorate to cast their ballots for the Democratic candidate instead of the Republican, I welcome him on board. Do you want a Dem majority in the Senate next Congress, or no?
