Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.
A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires
Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.
Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
I really should read my own blog.
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.
Technically true, but collectively nonsense
Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.
Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.
“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”
This blog will pay for itself.
We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.
Why did Dr. Oz lose? well, according to the exit polls, it’s because Fetterman won.
Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.
Republicans in disarray!
We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.
Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?
You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.
No one could have predicted…
Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.
rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Still not recovered from Spurs’ epic collapse against Chelsea earlier today. That’s gonna sting for a long time.

Letang should get a fucking medal. He was on the ice for 30 minutes after Maata got the cheap shot and taken out the other night. And he hasn’t slowed down tonight either. He’s fucking beast and I love him.

I have no idea who these teams are that other commenters in this thread are discussing. Is this some sort of NBA takeover attempt? Is the NBA still playing? I can’t imagine watching basketball when hockey is on.
PENS!

O Canada! Our home and hockey-less land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
except in the NHL
From far and wide, O Canada,
We don’t stand in line, for hockey playoff tickets.
God keep our land, glorious and free!
O Canada, from Lord Stanley’s Cup we will see in the USA
O Canada, no Stanley Cup for thee

@geg6: Nobody gives a fuck about either.

@raven:
Cole and I care. About hockey, a anyway.

Caps look listless

For me the problem with this series is that any team that would hire a goon like Brooks Orpik really asks to be rooted against; and that describes both the Pens and the Caps.
smintheus
@efgoldman: Cooke is even worse than Orpik. And Ulfie, ugh. He’s now a coach with the Rags, which speaks volumes about them. Years ago I added a little easter egg to Ulfie’s wikipedia page, and it’s still up be there; guess nobody disagrees with the sentiment.

@smintheus: re: ulfie and wikipedia ‘easter egg’
is this what you added? “Samuelsson has the reputation as one of the dirtiest players in the history of the NHL “

@raven: When I see Nick Leddy tearing it up for the Islanders, and think of how the Blackhawks limped out of the first round with three defensemen and a bunch of replacements, I just want to cry.
Leddy and some other D-men got run out of town after landing in Joel Quenneville’s doghouse. As much as Q is admired and respected in Chicago for his success, there’s been some grumbling lately about how maybe he needs to downsize his doghouse.

@geg6: I’m not a Pens fan, but Letang is way cool.
I’ll never forget one play of his last season. The puck was sitting at the boards behind the Pens goal, Letang was closing in on it, and some opponent was riding his back, just waiting to cream him the moment he touched the pack.
Letang braced an instant before reaching the puck and let the guy run into his back. The guy went splat like he hit a brick wall and fell right on his butt. Letang coolly picked up the puck and carried it around the goal, up ice and away.
I wish the Hawks had him.
smintheus
@2liberal: Yup, that’s mine.

@2liberal: …except originally I wrote “has the reputation as the dirtiest player in the history of the NHL”; because there was never anybody else even close to Ulfie for intentionally dangerous hits.
