Pens v. Rangers. I’m rooting for the Pens, but they have been so bad the past month I am not expecting anything positive.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.
To the privileged, equality seems like oppression.
One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.
America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.
We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.
It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.
You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.
Dear legacy media: you are not here to influence outcomes and policies you find desirable.
When we show up, we win.
It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.
The gop is a fucking disgrace.
You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.
Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.
Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.
The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.
There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.
If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.
You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Apparently the Republicans are having some get together in New Hampshire this weekend. Saw coverage of it on the news this evening. They showed a clip of Jeb!’s speech, among others. Jeb! looks really schlubby. Even among the clowns in the clown car he looked extra loser-y.

Just wanted to say that I have enjoyed the unusual “All John Cole” day. As in most of the posts, since 8:39 AM, have been from our blog host. Thanks!
Not a sports person, but hope you all have fun.

Just believe that they will win. You should have fun even what the result will be.

Looks like the Calgary coach is going to get fined $50,000 for that melee last night. And the misconduct got revoked I guess that means the player is playing tomorrow night.
David Koch
¡Jeb! looks like toast. PPP has him 4th in NH, 14 pts behind Walker, at a pathetic 10%. Making it worse, PPP reports that out of 9 candidates only Latino ¡Heb! and scandal plagued Christy are underwater. On the stump, he looks flat, confused, out of touch, and boring. Then you take his positions on amnesty and common core, and he’s toxic to the base.
Unless his private investigators find some juicy skeletons in Walker’s closet, ¡Jeb!/¡Heb! loses Iowa, NH, SC big. He probably will win Florida and hope he can turn it around, but no one has ever lost the first three primaries and turned it around to win the nomination.
What makes it funnier is Mittens would be the frontrunner right now, but he chickened out because he bought the Beltway CW that ¡Jeb!/¡Heb! would be unbeatable.

The sun is shining, the mountain looks so close you could reach out and touch it, and I just spent 3 hours flying a spinnaker down the lake.

Uh, the cat hunting Texas veterinarian. Has this been discussed here at BJ? What. The. Fuck.

My beloved Preds blasted the Blackhawks off the ice last night. It was a great game, can’t wait for tomorrow’s game. ‘hawks won’t have Crawford in goal again though and we couldn’t beat Darling in the first game so we’ve got our work cut out for us.

@khead:
I saw that. I thought it had to be faked but Snopes confirmed it. Turns out the cat killed wasn’t even feral. One report said it was a FOSTER kitty. Mwah.
What a horrible person.
Southern Beale
Or it might have been a family pet:
I don’t know any vet that would kill a feral cat. Capture and neuter it and tag its ear, yes. But just kill it? But IT’S FUCKING TEXAS so what do you expect.

@efgoldman:
YES WE PLAY HOCKEY IN NASHVILLE. Dude, our games are legen-WAIT FOR IT-dary. The crowd really gets into it, we’ve become quite the hockey town.

@David Koch: JEB’s intriguing thoughts about raising the Social Security age to 70 or 75 should pay dividends (pun intended).

Except none of the vets (all those Texans) I’ve known would’ve done anything like.

The Pens are gonna keep sucking. Don’t know what the problem is.
In other news, Lovey went on our mile and a half walk around campus today. Her little legs worked overtime trying to keep up with Koda. She is totally passed out from exhaustion. This is the solution to puppies!
MomSense
@Southern Beale:
What a heinous thing to do. I can’t believe a veterinarian would do such a vicious thing to an animal.
I’m going to leave some extra food behind the dumpster for my little group of ferals.
MomSense
@geg6:
Yup. I’m absolutely in the take them for a walk as the solution to just about every puppy problem.
I’m also a big fan of filling kongs with their food and freezing them. Two meals a day are served in a kong which is good for the teething and keeps them completely occupied for 20 minutes.

@MazeDancer: I’m not spending all day cleaning up Ginger’s dogshit and potty stains or trying to keep her from getting killed by Rosie after she picked a fight or trying to keep her from killing one of her puppies because she picked a fight. I have time to post.

@John Cole +0: Oy. That’s rough.

@Southern Beale:
Our SweetPea (RIP, with many a pic posted here) was a clipped ear feral and our current kittehs are all rescues. AND my wife and I used to feed a feral colony in our old neighborhood. I try not to get caught up in the Internets outrage of the week, but that woman needs to hunted like the cat.
Violet
@Southern Beale: They interviewed the veterinarian owners of the clinic where she worked (they fired her) and they were heartbroken that anyone could do that, let alone someone who worked for them. I don’t think what she did is in any way representative of the clinic, the town or the state.
I wonder if this woman had some sort of psychological break. I mean she not only did the terrible thing, she posted a picture on Facebook and apparently said they wouldn’t fire her because she was “so awesome.” It doesn’t sound like normal behavior. If she did have some sort of breakdown, I hope she gets the help she needs.

Pens win 4-3. Nice comeback, good game from the inconsistent Penguins.

@Violet:
There was that weird debate the other night about whether or not it’s “unnatural” to keep your cats indoors all of the time, and to me this is yet another check in the Reasons To Keep Them Inside column. Way too many people have a weird and irrational hatred of cats and I don’t want my cats dying because some asshole hates cats.

@Violet:
Also, too, while I agree with the general principle that someone shouldn’t lose their profession based on an Internet storm, a veterinarian who thinks it’s okay to shoot a cat with a bow and arrow? Sorry, asshole, but you need to find a new line of work.
