Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

This fight is for everything.

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

I was promised a recession.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Social Notes: Memphis Meet-Up This Weekend

by | 13 Comments

This post is in: ,

From universally beloved commentor Siubhan Duinne:

I’m going to be in Memphis this weekend and have made tentative plans to meet up with local residents ECLARE and DEE LORELEI Saturday evening. Would love to meet any other Memphians.

Time and place to be determined — as I will be in Memphis on behalf of Canada, I’d kind of like to throw some business in the direction of “The Kooky Canuck,” owned by a Canadian. It’s on 2nd Street, across from the Peabody Hotel. But I’m certainly open to other suggestions from people who actually live there…

Anyone interested can email me at SiubhanDuinne (at) gmail (dot) com, and include phone number or best way of reaching them.

    As a former Memphian, I am legally required to say that barbecue is a better alternative than the Kooky Canuck. I recommend the Rendezvous or Central BBQ.

    Wish I could be there.

    @Big R: Even fast food BBQ in Memphis (Tops, Little Pigs) is better than BBQ found elsewhere.

    I used to live near Union & Cleveland, so I ate Tops often.

    Make it next week and I might have made it. Then again it’s a packed trip so I might not have had time anyway. I was going to ask Memphian readers what they think of the town.

    I’m not married to the idea of Kooky Canuck, it’s just the Canada connection.

    Thanks, AL, for putting the post up!

    QFT. I grew up in Midtown so I ate there a lot too. Also, I’m so old I still call it Topp’s.

    This former Memphian concurs. Central BBQ is my favorite, but not a good place to have a group conversation. Rendezvous would be better, and would not require a drive to Midtown.

    I’ve consumed a great deal of BBQ at Rendezvous in my time. That would be a fine alternative.

    So very sorry to have to miss everyone. The other thing about the “Crazy C” is that the owner is a hard eyed libertarian who left Canada to escape the socialism. If you want something not BBQ I would suggest SOB (South of Beale) has a very tasty duck patty melt. Yummy. And Rizzo’s has the ultimate fair food in a lobster pronto pup. If you know that you’re going to go to the ‘vouz call the day before and order the shrimp, you won’t be disappointed.

    Anything works for me. You have my number. I’ll be there with bells on. All I’ve done lately when I go out is play hold ’em, so anything will be a nice break from that.
