Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

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

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

We still have time to mess this up!

This fight is for everything.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

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

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

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

Fight them, without becoming them!

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

We will not go back.

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

People are weird.

    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.

    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”

    Kingsman..Bar Fight Scene

    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..
