Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Fight them, without becoming them!

Alternative history is always a weak argument. Always.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

There’s always a light at the end of the frog.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

The US Supreme Court is on the ballot in november.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

Second rate reporter says what?

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

Democrats are back in array!

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Everybody saw this coming.

Elections aren’t won by handwringing, cowering, and/or bashing your own candidates.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

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

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

FFS people, this was a good thing. take the win.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Republicans don’t trust women.

    I think that I watched this a dozen times when it first hit the net. I still think that Volvo should have made this their Superbowl commercial.

    But not really a parody right? I think this was actually an online ad for Volvo. And JCVD totally nailed it…lol.

    Since we are sharing videos, here’s another one. The Welsh accents alone make me smile!

    @Mnemosyne: A day or so ago, a blogger I follow on twitter asked for top 10 places on my overseas bucket list. Wales wasn’t listed, but it is now!

    The pics of the country side was beatuiful

    yeah, it’s a problem. dems not immune. hillary will still be president, and still do better on this than any possible republican, but it is a problem.

    @lamh36: @lamh36: Hah! I’ve been going back to Wales regularly since my first, chance visit there in 1982. I particularly know and love the northwest corner of the country — but it is in fact as gorgeous as that pr vid makes out.

    And one thing that’s changed over the last 30 years — the beer’s better. The food too. (Line up the jokes all you want, boyos.

    @Tom Levenson: Another lovely vid from the people of Wales to Obama.

    I think it’s from the “kids” at Cardiff University, giving suggestions of things for POTUS to do while in Wales

    #ObamaInTheDiff

    Oh and forget about Doctor Who, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Torchwood which was based in Cardiff right? I’d want them to show me the Torchwood Cardiff headquarters.

    @Tom Levenson: I once partied with the London Welsh rugby club. I have no memory of the quality of the food. Nor that of the beer – but its quantity – that is etched into my brain. Some damned good singers too as one might expect.

    @Little Boots: No, they were vile and disgusting rugby songs sung by good voices. BTW I left a couple of other options for you in the previous thread.

    @lamh36: Wales is pretty small so you can add it onto a trip to the UK in general. We end up in Wales for various family and friend things from time to time. Very beautiful. I always get a kick out of the signs in Welsh. No idea how to pronounce anything.

    Eric Holder: enraging neoconfederates everywhere since 2009.

    And yet, you’ll find people calling him the biggest sellout since Barack Obama.

    @Little Boots: No problem. This isn’t cheesy but it is one of my favorite songs from the 70s. In case you didn’t know, Alex Chilton from Big Sta was, at about age 16, the singer of this. How is that for a peace offering?

    “And for our final item: all the hookers and blow you can, uh, eat.”

    California has evidently lost out on the “Who’s blowing Elon Musk now?” competition, as the Tesla battery factory is headed for Reno, or somewhere nearby. I’m okay with that, as it’s become de riguer to throw two dollars at every dollar Business X will bring to the table. At some point we need to decide not to sell our remaining soul to every “maker” who will stay put only so long as it’s free to do so.

    @trollhattan: OTOH the Tesla sedan is beautiful. Give it 500 miles in range and less than an hour decent recharge,and I am a buyer. Until Saab produces their e-car because Saab.

    @trollhattan: huh, the republican cosponsor in California said tesla was asking for too much. Think about that, a republican who thinks a business was asking for too much in tax breaks and deregulation

    @Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name): They play all sorts of music. Mostly with a beat to keep people moving. That one just cracked me up. I looked around and all sorts of people, from the early 20’s kids manning thte desk to the old guys on the bikes were bopping their heads to it. I guess everyone knows bad 80’s music.

    @lamh36: Why was he banned from the US? A friend’s sister is best friends with one of his set designers or something, so they always go when he’s touring. I didn’t know he was banned.

    Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name)

    @lamh36: He is not a fave of mine. The particular song I mentioned has memories attached – good ones. I have never been fond of the dude’s music on its merits, but I have been very fond some people who have liked it – if you know what I mean.

    @lamh36: you know what? People go to Wall Street because they pay. If Wall Street didn’t have so much money to throw around compared to the alternatives, politicians and Ivy League grads wouldn’t take jobs with them.
