Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.
SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.
They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.
Trump should be leading, not lying.
Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.
Giving up is unforgivable.
Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)
Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.
Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.
People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.
Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.
the 10% who apparently lack object permanence
These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.
Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.
Black Jesus loves a paper trail.
I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.
The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.
Hot air and ill-informed banter
Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.
Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.
“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.
Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.
Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.
At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

I’m with Deadspin: Bring On Argentina!
Feathers
Argentina was practicing at Harvard on Thursday. Saw the huge crowds on the sidewalk & wondered WTF. Then I saw the Argentina and Madrid jerseys and guessed what was up. They had put up screens on the fencing, but there were people peering in at every gap and others holding their camera phones up over the fence. Also a really pissed off looking guy with a camera which had an enormously huge ass lens on it.
Anyway, my Copa story.

I’m with Deadspin too.
Here’s the story behind Bradley’s rainbow armband and the scramble to get it ready for kickoff.
And if you need me I’ll be on the front stoop getting the afternoon sun like a salamander on a rock.

Anybody have any good futbol phrases I can text a friend from Venezuela?

Looks like Argentina is putting on an exhibition game.

Wow. Arguably the worst taken penalty I have seen in my lifetime.
Someone needs to learn how to do a Panenka.

Venezuela really woke up after going down 0-2. That penalty’s gotta hurt, though.

@Onkel Fritze:
They need to step it up. If not for that blown PK and what was in effect an own goal by Venezuela, the score would be 1-1.
Onkel Fritze
@Steeplejack (phone): ‘Would be’. There was also that foul on Messi which should have been a penalty.

This Messi fellow seems like he is not bad at his job.

Another giveaway by Venezuela. Game over, man.

All those guys in the stripey shirts seem to have a knack.

That didn’t last long.

Usually in football I don’t end up telling the TV producer (like they can hear me) “Stop with the reaction shots to the goal! Another goal might happen right now!”

Huh, be careful what ya wish for is today’s lesson.

@humboldtblue: I am rooting for yellows for Argie players.

By the time Eric Wynalda gets done with his condemnation, conviction, and sentencing to a lifetime of ignominy and deserved ridicule poor Sejas will be carried off the field in irons for his penalty miss.

Wow the Argies look really really good.
