Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

75% of people clapping liked the show!

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Lick the third rail, it tastes like chocolate!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

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

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

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

This blog will pay for itself.

The lights are all blinking red.

How stupid are these people?

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

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Let there be snark.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

    Now I have truly seen it all.

    Stephen A. Smith as the voice of a blond snowboarder’s stomach, in a TV spot for Oberto beef jerky.

    The Gophers are actually playing a non-conference opponent with a winning record. I’m expecting a disaster.

    Why the hell is ESPN Gameday in Fargo? I mean, at least it isn’t Grand Forks so there might be someplace better than an Olive Garden to eat, but really.

    @raven: I had to check which of my posts you meant, because it turns out that the Gophers played a non-conference team with a winning record last year, too. One of them. 7-6 UNLV. Our other three non-Big 10 opponents had a combined 12-24 record.

    God, we’ve sucked at football for 50 years. Bernie Bierman, where have you gone?

    @raven: My first experience as a Gopher football fan was Lou “The Music Man” Holtz leaving townto go to Notre Dame, leaving behind the same wake of NCAA sanctions he left everywhere else he ever coached.

    @raven: Winfield didn’t even play football here; the Vikings drafted him purely as an athlete/publicity stunt.

    Pro rather than college, but this one’s a two-fer!

    From ESPN.go.com links on their right side:

    Redskins’ Snyder: Fortunate to have Goodell

    We now return you to college FB, where my boys in blue don’t start until 8:00 tonight. But I ain’t gonna watch.

    Twerps haven’t been much in men’s basketball in about the last eight years. They were good in women’s basketball, lacrosse, soccer, and field hockey.

    If Boston College really wants to honor the memory of Welles Crowther, it should restore men’s lacrosse to NCAA D1 status. All the red-bandana-motif football shoes in the world aren’t enough.

    @burnspbesq:

    There is no net positive, from a fan’s perspective, with conference realignment.

    The executives at the TV networks that enabled this need to be punched in the neck.

    @Amir Khalid: It’s going to be a long season for Newcastle United fans. Pretty much all we’ve got is wondering when Pardew gets the sack and who follows him.

    @raven: There’s no such town as Chestnut Hill. It’s in Newton.

    Edit: More technically, Chestnut Hill is an unincorporated village that is spread across three actual municipalities and BC is in the part that’s in Newton.

    @Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN): Beats me, it’s what the president of the school said.

    “Chestnut Hill is an affluent New England village located six miles (10 km) west of downtown Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Like all Massachusetts villages, Chestnut Hill is not an incorporated municipal entity. Unlike most Massachusetts villages, it encompasses parts of three separate municipalities, each located in a different county: the town of Brookline in Norfolk County; the city of Boston in Suffolk County (parts of its neighborhoods of Brighton and West Roxbury), and the city of Newton in Middlesex County. Chestnut Hill’s borders are roughly defined by the 02467 ZIP Code. Chestnut Hill is not a topographical designation; the name refers to several small hills that overlook the 135-acre (546,000 m²) Chestnut Hill Reservoir rather than one particular hill. Chestnut Hill is best known as the home of Boston College, part of the Boston Marathon route, as well as the Collegiate Gothic canvas of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.[1]”

    @raven: Oh, BC people love to tell you that it’s in Chestnut Hill. It ‘s so much more tony than the rest of Newton. But ask any Boston University alum and they’ll make sure you know that it’s the University of Newton.

    @paulw:

    USF has quit.

    Last TD by NCSU was a drive where the Wolfpack was direct snapping to the RB.

    And as I type this NCSU fumbles a punt.

    Ducks roll on a good Wyoming team. MM takes a scary flight into the endzone to score. Coach says do not do that again! AND J. LLoyd, our tiny stud BBall player scores a TD in his transition to football, Good To Be A Duck, roaring to the National Title Game!
