Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

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

We still have time to mess this up!

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

I was promised a recession.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

He really is that stupid.

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

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Come on, man.

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

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

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

You can’t love your country only when you win.

The revolution will be supervised.

Two teams with great speed, if not great defense. Look for end-to-end action.

    That’s the Australia I’m looking for.

    Why didn’t the Aussies wear the traditional yellow/dk green in the USA game?

    Gonna take me a few minutes to adjust to this frenetic action after the stately tempo of PGA golf. LOL.

    @ThresherK:

    Is it a “home”/”away” thing?

    @Steeplejack (tablet): I don’t think so, as the US were in the all white kit.

    Not sure which one got to be considered “home” for this, but no conflict anyway.

    Oof. That’s gotta hurt Nigeria. Aussie fundamentals pay off.

    Is it too early to start looking at the group table and wondering what it takes to be one of the 4 (of 6) 3rd-place wildcards?

    The Nigerians are simply out of rhythm. They had some early counterattack chances but they have none of the verve in the second half they showed against Sweden. Great midfield work by the Aussies.
