Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

… among the most cringeworthy communications in the history of the alphabet!

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

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

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

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

After roe, women are no longer free.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

This fight is for everything.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Chutkan laughs. Lauro sits back down.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

    Remember Baylor is in the same shithole town that was home to David Koresh and the Branch Davidians. More recently there was a mass gun battle involving a bunch of bikers.

    Several years ago the Baylor basketball coach was caught Ina bizarre cover up of a players death. The current football coach apparently allowed a sexual predator to transfer to his team. So yeah, fuck Baylor.

    Any Minneapolis denizens around here?

    Where should a 24 year old professional school student live to work at the Minneapolis Veterans Administration?

    It is only for one month. And a very cold month I might add.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Neither Tech or Pitt can stop each other. Winner of this game will probably be whoever scores the most points.

    @jharp: Are you going to be working at the VA Medical Center? The light rail has a stop at their front door, so you would have all sorts of options along the rail line, if commuting is a concern… Otherwise, it’s pretty much going to be budget dependent…

    Ta-Nehisi Coates isn’t a terribly rigorous thinker, but even he realizes that it’s wrong to watch football games.

    Obviously God is rooting for Baylor with Lambert missing a chip shot.

    What have you guys in WV done to get God so pissed?

    @efgoldman:

    Originally they went with THE West Virginia but it seems it was taken.

    And of course, West Virginia, where the White Welfare is wouldn’t fit on a bumper sticker.

    @Steve from Antioch:

    I’m AMAZED!! Any other amazing tidbits Steve?

    But yes, when you decide it’s ok to let a company take away your mountain tops and toss them in your rivers there’s a chance there’s some graft involved.

    Luckily, all of WV profits from it which is why their are so many BMW dealers there.

    Morgantown is the new Austin only without the great music and food.

    Just ribbing you John. Actually Austin has been going down hill for quite a while. Still nice, but nothing like when you could see Stevie Ray live for 8 bucks.

    Local TrackTown media are spinning the 3-3 Fighting Fashion Nightmares as best they can, as said FFNs are in Seattle today to play the Dawgs, and an 11 game FFN win streak over said Dawgs is on the line.

    It may well get to the point where people are satisfied if the FFNs beat MooU in the Civil War game.

    @KG:

    Folks, you are ALL mis-spelling that slogan.

    It is properly spelled “West By Gawd Virginia” so as to not be blasphemy.

    Well not really the blasphemy part, just to capture the accent correctly.

    And to establish the proper differentiation between Old Virginny and West By Gawd Virginia.

    54-24 Now, so sad. And in Waco, to boot. Craziest town in Texass.

    @J R in WV:

    Waco is nuts to be sure, but by far not the craziest town in Texas.

    Sadly, Cut and Shoot used to be a front runner but Houston has encroached and it seems kids can get a decent education there.

    Corrigan has a good shot at it now but I still think Orange wins out.

    Heh. You’re discovering what Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Arizona have all discovered.

    Or, as I prefer to think of them, Northern, Northern northern, Eastern, and South eastern California.

    I think the only state that doesn’t mind our exports is Idaho, as that’s where our racist police officers go to retire.

    Apparently… when Martin Winterkorn resigned as CEO of Volkswagon, he– somehow– managed to keep the post of CEO at the holding company that owns the majority of Volkswagon shares. But that was then. Oopsie.

    SoupCatcher

    @Corner Stone: Applying the rule of 27 to our population, we should have around 10 million assholes. We’re a bit under-budget on our RFID implant program – thanks a lot, Prop 13 – so it’s understandable a few million are getting past us. Might be a good idea to hype the State of Jefferson again, that seems a nice shiny object that keeps them in state.

    Shorter version: assholes gonna asshole. Whaddyagonnado?

    Via Krugman, for the ‘Yes, David Brooks lies all the time’ folder:

    Corey Robin annotates Brooks’ recent column about how Republicans are failing conservatism, showing that the bad behavior that Brooks complains about has been going on for a long time.

    There’s also a comment to the Robin post that includes a telling anecdote from Tony Judt.

    @Davebo: The difference being that Colorado, as a state, had plenty of assholes and Christianist right wing nuts.
    Austin, however, used to be pretty laid back and awesome. Now it has a bunch of assholes from California who came in here and trashed the place, and it wasn’t their place.

    Mizzou. Georgia is favored, but both teams are shaky enough that it could go either way. I’d take Mizzou and the points, as I believe Raven said earlier today.

    @efgoldman: If “doesn’t matter” means the team that wasn’t going to win the national championship is now not going to win the national championship then what does it matter to you and the FIRE RICHT morons?

    There was just a goal line review in Ann Arbor and the camera was on this kid that flipped the bird and mouthed FUCK YOU at the camera. They swooped away but it was too late. . . and too funny.

    South Florida Bulls win! first winning streak (two games) since 2013!!!

    It’s looking like USF can win in the AAC conference. Hopefully the team can get over 6 wins, maybe even go to 7 or 8 wins for a decent bowl invite…

    @Corner Stone:

    Used to be you had to travel west of Cap O’ Tex freeway to find those “Christianist right wing nuts”.

    Now they are on Oltorf and everywhere north of it seemingly. And that spread won’t stop.

    Seems the east side is all that’s left.

    @Davebo: Yes, seriously. I’ve been through CO a few times but not for a bit. I drove a 2WD Ford Explorer through there in the late 90’s and people thought I was crazy. They said they thought all the visitors from TX went to Durango. I was headed for the UT/CO border.
    How would I know where the fuck Texans were migrating to in CO? I don’t smoke dope and I don’t live there.

    @Corner Stone:

    Texans have been buying up property in CO for over 30 years now. And the locals don’t like it. Which is why I’m retiring to WA soon. Plus, better fishing!

    I love Texas but I’ve had enough. It’s not just because the lunatics have taken over the asylum but with $45 a barrel oil what’s the point anymore? And I can listen to Lyle and Stevie on Spotify anywhere.
