Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Consistently wrong since 2002

The revolution will be supervised.

This really is a full service blog.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

After roe, women are no longer free.

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

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

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

This blog will pay for itself.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

    Hamsik had a great run for Slovakia, but his shot was saved off the line by Davies, then Bale with a great free kick to give Wales the lead.

    Wales is playing without their first choice keeper and is starting Ward a backup at Liverpool. Ward is making his full international debut

    and Skrtel being Skrtel managed to actually get close enough to a striker to elbow him in the head

    @humboldtblue:

    I’ve heard those whispers too but I’d be surprised to see Allen leave Anfield. He’s got everything Klopp wants in a Midfielder – he’s hard working, quick thinking, skillful on the ball and he has a glorious mane of flowing chestnut hair. What’s not to like?

    Skrtel though just showed why Klopp doesn’t fancy him. He’s gritty enough but he’s increasingly become a fouling machine. Wales should have had a penalty there and been 2-0 up, probably.

    Happy my daughter had a successful set of flights and trains to get to a remote German city to do her summer job helping to solve a vacuum question on the giant Wendelstein – 7x fusion stellarator. While fusion may well be the energy of the future and, unfortuity, may always be (lol) we as a species need to try and get this most powerful energy source working if we want to have nearly unlimited energy that is carbon free (solar and wind are critical, too) and want to reach the stars (literally!) While I work in a similar field (hence, corrupted my poor daughter relative to her degree but I am encouraging her to follow her own path in any field) I can not be more proud – she is of the generation (a senior at MIT) that will try and save our world. There are many such young people and I really have high hopes they will make a difference!

    @Tony J:

    Skrtl is already gone and Kolo was released yesterday. I agree with you about Allen he’s a great fit for Klopp but when will he play? That’s the question and if he wants to start and play regularly he’s probably gonna have to move. The Reds won’t play 64 games next season and with no Europe you’d think Klopp will find a starting 11 and keep them together and that makes it tough for Allen.

    It would be tough to lose the Welsh Pirlo but he may want more playing time. We can always remember him if he leaves with some music, though.

    I hear it’s only ten years off, tops. But seriously, you must be super-proud. “It’s not rocket science, it’s more important than that.”

    @humboldtblue:

    I hear you, and you’re probably right, but if Klopp,wants to build a Premier League winning squad (or at the very least challenge hard for it and earn a top-four place) he needs to keep players like Allen around for cover and for the season after that when we – will – be playing 60+ games. Otherwise we’ll be spending the late summer of 2017 shelling out tens of millions trying to flesh out the squad with quality players who may or may not work out.

    Plus – Goal! Bales are going to do this!

    Plus – Shut the f##k up Robbie ‘gobshite’ Savage.

    Men of Harlech pull it out setting up what could a historical match against the Angerlanders.
