Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

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

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

So many bastards, so little time.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

I’m just a talker, trying to find a channel!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Donald Trump, welcome to your everything, everywhere, all at once.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

Trump’s legal defense is going to be a dumpster fire inside a clown car on a derailing train.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

    Traveling on the west coast, and it’s really weird seeing Thursday night football on at 5 pm.

    Lil Bit is scheduled for ACL surgery Monday. . . we cancelled our Thanksgiving beach trip this afternoon.

    Don’t care about the Colts but really like Luck. And Dallas is permanently at the bottom of my dead-to-me list alongside Pittsburgh, so no internal conflicts on this one.

    @raven:

    Hope all goes well. This on top of remodeling too. Seems like all the busy and/or stressful events decide to happen all at the same time.

    I was purchasing a book via iPad earlier, browsing titles via the NYT bestseller list, and I saw that Bill O’Reilly has a new book out, “Killing Reagan.” I’d rather read aggregated worldwide grocery lists than anything by O’Reilly, of course, but WTF, “Killing Reagan”? Is O’Reilly alleging that the doddering old fart died of anything other than natural causes, long after his brain had turned into tapioca pudding?

    @raven: Sorry to hear that. Hope the critter comes through with flying colors!

    @bemused: We are almost done with the house. It’s been 2 months since the siding guys bailed and the news crew put it up in one day!

    What a 24 hours it’s been.

    The neighbor who was always reliable taking care of my pets when we’re traveling, while continuing the process of drinking herself to death, completed that process last week sometime.

    The neighborhood busybodies who disapproved of her drunkenness called in a welfare check because she was letting her paper sit out in the drive. Resulting in a fire truck, ambulance, 4 squad cars and a boatload of paperwork to be filed in triplicate.

    The cops called animal control so I snuck the 50 lb standard poodle out over the fence into my yard. Because he had been through the trauma of 4-6 days alone in the house, without food or water, capped by the door kicked in and big dudes yelling about him guarding the remains. I got into gear when I heard them talking about tazing the dog to get him out of the way.

    Of course poodles are water dogs. We took down the pool fence in May, because the offspring and her buds are driving…but the winter cover can’t hold 50 lbs of poodle (ask me how I know). Had to smuggle him to the dog training lady’s shop, to await the next of kin.

    Has sniffing disapproval ever worked, once, to get anyone to feel that they are ready to address their drinking problem? I don’t dispute that she had a problem–she knew she was going to wake up dead one of these days but she couldn’t stop bringing the box wine in the front door–but there’s something irritating about neighbors who notice enough to put the paper up in the screen door while applying their share of the judgment about what she ought to have done.

    I’m probably just tired. That dog was not in good shape and didn’t sleep well.

    Luck is out with an injury, and its Houston, not Dallas.

    Starting QB is Hasselbeck, 40 years old. FG kicker is Adam Vinatieri, he’s 42.

    @redshirt:

    Pagano will be fired with a loss and another loss.

    No, he won’t. And he’s already quitting after this season. The front office is fucked up, Ryan Grigson has destroyed the team in the last 3 years.

    If you have a QB like Luck, you hire offensive linemen to protect him.

    @redshirt:

    “Yeah he’s getting fired for the reason you mention”

    No, he’s quitting. He’s been proven to be a great coach, but after all he’s been thru the front office has fucked him. If you can afford to leave a bad job, you do it.

    Holy crap. In futbol Ecuador is ahead of Argentina in a World Cup qualifier 2 – 0 in the 85th minute. Brazil is losing to Chile. Germany lost to Ireland in a Euro 2016 qualifier earlier today.

    My son just real time called that. He said, “What, we can’t throw the ball here? What do we have to lose by throwing it?”
    Holy shit.

    @raven: I hope Chris Petersen has a long tenure at UW. He did a good job elevating Boise State into the national conversation.

    And it would be nice for the Huskies to hand Steve Sarkisian a loss after he ditched them for the SC job.

    @redshirt: Nah, we’re okay. Dog is with his known, loving, firm person who is the only person he knew well during his Person’s life. What more can a dog need? He had a couple of very bad days but will make a full recovery, I’m sure.

    What is that? Three roughing the passer penalties against Washington?

    Neither team looks good tonight. USC definitely doesn’t look like a ranked team.
