Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

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

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

The revolution will be supervised.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

This fight is for everything.

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

    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!
