Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

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

After roe, women are no longer free.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

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

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

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

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

    Thank you. Just got news that a colleague at work died unexpectedly from complications of what we thought was a treatable cancer. Not a happy time, so otters are welcome.

    Last night in LA and it’s…raining! I suppose that will allow the 27% in CA to call Al Gore fat for a night or so, before it goes back to being the usual drought-ly weather that is going to turn this state into a desert over time.

    Meeting an old friend for dinner and drinks, and then I think I’m going to hit the sack. Did a relatively long drive to the middle of the desert to see my grandmother, who, despite her very right-wing politics, I love dearly for helping support my mom when she was young, single, and trying to handle the both of us when we were a bit more rambunctious than we are now.

    Umm…I’ve met you. Unless you were REALLY wild as a child, I don’t think you’ve slowed down that much.

    Meeting an old friend for dinner and drinks,

    Going to reminiscence about the last 10 years of your post-adulthood?
    And then what, back to your life in the Flatiron BLDG on 5th Ave and 23rd?

    @PsiFighter37: My only liberal family member other than myself is in LA. Stick our hand out of the window of your car and wave for me. We only tend to see each other when somebody in our family gets married or dies. He keeps saying come see me in LA man, we can have some fun. I might need to fire off an email to Greg and ask what his schedule looks like the next couple months.

    @Mnemosyne (iPad Mini): I saw EoT in the theatre. I really enjoy it. I’m no Cruuse fan so when I tell you I really liked I mean it. It was way better than I predicted and I actually like Cruise alot ij it. He should do more action conedy. really though, Emily Blunt was the real star and in a change of pace for Cruise, the female lead was the actully star of the action.

    So, I haven’t ordered movie from Cox On Demand yet, but I’m thinking I’ma order John Wick with Keanu Reeves. I heard it was good. If I like it I may buy it on Blu Ray.

    My Otter Story: I was the only one in a small boat of real fishermen off Half Moon Bay, California that was pleased when a sea otter suddenly popped up and began to hang out with us. They were business-like fishermen, intent on catching fish. I was a sightseer with a line in the water. The otter was bad for the fish business, so we weighed anchor and moved.

    speaking of movies that I want to see, I cannot tell ya much I looking forward to that new movie...Kingsman

    As always, I.AM.HERE.FOR.COLIN.FIRTH!!!

    One of my fav scenes in Bridget Jones Diary 1/2 is the fight scenes between Colin Firth and Hugh Grant. It was played as two ole white dude who were more windmills than putting up dukes…lol. For Kingsman, Mark Darcy learned to kick ass!!!

    The smartest thing the Kingsman movie PR team ever did was to keep the clips of Colin Firth in action, cause I’m def here for Colin Firth!
    Kingsman: The Secret Service – Mark Millar on Movie's Most Shocking Scene

    I keep reading about this church scene fight sequence that we see a small glimpse of in the trailers, but not much…all you see is Colin Firth, gun in hand punching some guy out…I.CAN’T.WAIT!

    the only complete fight sequence they’ve released is this one earlier I the film when Firth’s character is “introduced”

    Deadspin.com is reporting a Princess Diana-like scenario- Bruce Jenner claims the pursuing papparazi caused him to rear end another vehicle into oncoming traffic near Malibu. One confirmed dead…

    @rikyrah: Me three.

    I love the interview Renee Zellweiger did of Colin Firth, asking him about the scene in Pride and Prejudice where he takes off his shirt and dives into the big pond at Pemberley.

    @sm*t cl*de: Two years ago a couple of otters staked their claim to a section of creek in the city of Sonoma, Ca. I walked that stretch a lot, and mentioned how great I thought it was to a more informed individual, who proceeded to explain the havoc the cute little bastards had wreaked with other wildlife during their extended visit. I guess that’s my other otter story.

    By the way, the Jenner traffic fatality accident now sounds like a worst case scenario involving tailgaters, speed, and sudden braking..
