Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.
Fuck these fucking interesting times.
Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.
Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.
When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?
When we show up, we win.
How stupid are these people?
I really should read my own blog.
You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.
Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.
“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”
It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.
Republicans in disarray!
Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?
Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.
They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!
So many bastards, so little time.
In after Baud. Damn.
It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.
A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.
Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.
Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

Who is Kyle Chapman ? And how did the spelling gods turn him. into an egg ?
Ultraviolet Thunder
Was I not paying attention and spelling became a blood sport?

@SarahT:
Tom Lehrer did some fun little songs for Electric Company back in the day about the power of spelling. Who can turn man into a mane? Who can turn can into a cane? It’s simple as can be it’s silent e.
I assume the Scripps people have some related sort of spelling voodoo at their disposal. I actually have a decades old Scripps-Howard employee handbook laying around somewhere, but I’ve never seen these powers discussed in it.

Kyle, who looks to be 15, talks like he’s 89. They grow up so fast these days.

Before, when this country knew what it stood for, and men were men and became men by messing with fairies and guys with glasses, we used to burn the legs of spelling bee losers with our cigarette butts, which we can’t do any more because you coddling liberal losers won’t let us smoke 50 feet from the enterance to the spelling bee building. Probably because we let Muslims pray six times a day while we’ve practically banned the pledge of allegiance, about the same time we let Obama cancel the national Day of Prayer each year for the past seven years and don’t go to Snopes.com to tell me otherwise.

Late to say, but glad to see your job news was v. good. And about the sock. I forget the 3rd one, sorry.

@Major Major Major Major: Douglas Adams FTW. I missed Towel Day, which seems to be May 25th. I blame Boing Boing. Wondering if that’s the day Earth gets destroyed to make the hyperspace bypass.

In the old days, the heads of spelling-bee losers popped like bubbles! I saw it in A Boy Named Charlie Brown.

@Peale: I am entranced by your spelling of ‘enterance.’ Please burn yourself on the legs with a cigarette butt.

FFS. The word lose has to be the most misspelled word on the Internet. It’s 4 fucking letters, people.
Woodrowfan
@M. Bouffant: I noticed that too. Anyone with an ’88’ in their name makes me wonder.
CONGRATULATIONS!
This is the best thing I’ve seen all year.

Rouge for rogue is probably the most misspelled word on the internet. At least, the part I inhabited by gamers.

There’s so much about this I love.
1. I am driven crazy by the “lose” vs “loose” thing. It’s right up there with “irregardless” for me.
2. I am also driven crazy by people who seem to expect behavior from kids that they don’t expect from grownups. Grown men who cry when their favorite football team loses the Super Bowl make fun of kids crying when they lose something like the spelling bee, which these kids have spent hours and hours preparing for. See also, participation awards, despite the fact that there would be rioting if every adult who managed to crawl past the finish line of the NYC Marathon didn’t get their very own participation medal. That’s different! Because reasons!
3. After making fun of kids not being able to react to making a spelling error on the national stage like the Unsullied react to pain, this guy makes a mistake himself, and can’t handle the blowback; he runs and hides like the coward he is. Too bad, I imagine Scripps would have let him have a good weep on the comfort couch if he’d asked.

@Woodrowfan: It’s an auspicious number in Chinese culture, too, so when I see it used as part of a name there’s always this moment of context-checking to figure out if Chinese or Nazi.
