Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. keep building.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Those who are easily outraged are easily manipulated.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Giving up is unforgivable.

People are complicated. Love is not.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

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

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

    Dank, gray, wet and chilly for the second day in a row.

    These old bones are a-creakin’.

    I always root for the critters in these situations. One day, this attitude will get my hand chewed off.

    Just to follow up on NotMax’s non-sequitur, it was March 5 and 0 degrees in Chicagoland this morning. Record-nearing.

    @John O: It’s about 73F here at 10:20pm in Ka’anapali, HI.

    That lion’s face, looming up in the corner of the window just before she opens the door, that gave me goosebumps.

    @NotMax: Are you in Washington state? I can’t remember.

    the high at my house just outside Seattle will be 58F tomorrow. That’s pretty nice for March.

    @Mustang Bobby: 47.5 here in LALAland, though it should get up into the low 80’s tomorrow and throughout the weekend. So it’s too cold at night to kill the pilot light on the furnace.

    I’m going though some old pictures; 3 years in Seattle and I think I have a total of 3 pictures with Mt. Rainier in them.

    ETA: Regrets not taking my OM-1 to Seattle.

    I’d put outside temps in low 50’s, maybe high 40’s in Athens. Cold drizzly rain is back. It was like Spring! Wed afternoon. Downhill since.

    It’s 12 F in NYC right now (0611). Too cold.

    I can hear the maintenance staff clearing sidewalks in the development. They had cleaned snow yesterday but with snow falling into the night, they stopped cleaning at some point to leave it for this morning.

    All white MJ panel discussing Att. General report on Ferguson is so…enwhitening.

    The lion must have thought there were some tasty looking morsels in the car.

    “I’ll take this one.”

    Animals have so much more intelligence than most people realize. I read “The Tiger” a few years ago and the stories of the people who met up with them was terrifying.

    Impressed with that family. Not a single f-bomb, and not shrill when hysterical either.

    Impressed with the lioness. She can wait. Some other human will leave a door unlocked. Although, it will be her life that pays.

    @debbie: Talk about being outmatched, should you encounter a tiger. Sharks of the land, and even more beautiful.

    I would feel like walking meat. Dinner on the hoof.

    Met a cat once who had a thumb– she would tug at the edge of your garment. Cute, but… I asked the owner to make sure she was spayed.

    Got 16 inches of snow in Central KY and it is 10 degrees right now. Come on Spring…

    And the lion looks as if she knows exactly what to do and how to do it. Can I swap her for my GOP congresscritter?

    David Hunt

    @JaneE: If you promise to put her in a seaoled room with the rest of the GOP caucus…nah. I can’t bring myself to be that cruel to a lion.

    I once saw a wildlife show on the teevee where a cheetah decided to have some fun with the human tourists. She got on top of their truck, swung her butt over the sun roof, and took a dump on them.

    Sigh, its been a beautiful week in north Florida in the 80’s where it belongs but new cold front coming in and its colder now than this morning…in the 50’s and going down. I wanted to garden this weekend. Pollen is already bad. dogwoods should be pretty this weekend.

    Here in Oregon, frosty in the morning and sunny and 60s in the afternoon. We should be seeing gray, dreary skies and lots of rain. The woods will be a tinderbox this summer if this keeps up. They say every few hundred years we get a massive fire that scours the mountains clean of any vegetation. I’m getting worried.

    Paul in KY

    @Origuy: The land around there is beautiful. You should have a great time. Hopefully most of the snow will have melted by then. Best of luck!

    @NotMax: Oh, that explains so much. Someone yesterday told us that he went up to the top of Haleakala on Wednesday night to look at the moon and it snowed on him.

    The Moar You Know

    Almost every cat I’ve ever had and more than half the dogs figured out how to open the house doors within a few weeks.

    The lions have obviously figured out that your car is a big can of cat food.
