Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Humiliatingly small and eclipsed by the derision of millions.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

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

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

    I could almost swear that you must have seen my link to the Royal Guardsmen some long-dead thread earlier today…I mean, seriously?? How do you end up thinking about “Snoopy and the Red Baron”, for all love??

    Fun Fact to Know and Tell: The Royal Guardsmen were actually from the Tampa area! And here when I was a kid I thought they were a British Invasion band!

    Omaha World Herald:

    Omaha Dad Finds Pot Brownies, Eats 4 of Them, Says Mean Things to Cat

    Omaha police officers were called to a house near 90th and Maple Streets about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday to investigate an accidental overdose. They learned that a 53-year-old man had been unloading groceries and found some brownies in the back seat of a car that his adult children had used earlier in the day.

    The man ate four of the brownies. …

    … Paramedics called to the scene who checked the man found his vital signs to be normal. But they noted that he was displaying odd behavior — crawling around on the floor, randomly using profanities and calling the family cat a “bitch.”

    The man told paramedics he felt like “he’s trippin’.” He declined their offer to be taken to the hospital.

    Guess that makes it good time to play Omaha (Golden Palominos, circa 1985).

    @tom: The Unicorn Song was my dad’s favorite. For some reason it tickled him immensely. Or maybe it was just the Irish Rovers version of it.

    Check out the writer’s credit for the Unicorn song sometime.

    Yep, it’s good ould Shel McSilverstein! (Also see “A Boy Named Sue”. Guy pops up everywhere.)
