Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

I was promised a recession.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Infrastructure week. at last.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

John Fetterman: Too Manly for Pennsylvania.  Paid for by the Oz for Senator campaign.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

We still have time to mess this up!

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

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

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

People are complicated. Love is not.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Alabama vs. Clemson — the rematch. Should be a good game. Roll Tide, I guess.

More importantly, our dear Patsy Marie is recovering from minor surgery:

She’s okay. She’s a lumpy dog, and when lumps pop up, we have them removed (at great expense). Luckily, they’ve all been benign.

Poor thing is whiny and clingy. We took the Cone of Shame off. Considering putting it on the other dog!

Open thread!

    Don’t you have pet insurance? I thought you said at one point you did, but I could easily be misremembering.

    As for football, (a) I don’t really care or follow teams, but (b) if I did, I’d have a hard time on this one. I did a lot of work with Clemson on setting up a Canadian Studies Centre a few years ago, so there’s a natural tilt there, but I have a lot of friends who are devoted Alabama fans, so part of me wants to go all “Roll Tide.” Oh wait, see (a) above.

    PS: Watching the Carrie Fisher/Debbie Reynolds documentary:

    Todd Fisher’s wife has a companion animal chicken. I forget its name. But it got a lot of screen time.

    Is living large in Nevada, I think …

    @SiubhanDuinne: On Bodhi, Lil Bit is not insurable. We have a $550 claim in for him. Our big problem is that they want him crated and he feels fine. We can’t take everything away from him in hopes that it extends his life. I may regret it but right now I’m giving him some slack.

    For the love of G-d please Clemson win this. I want Nick Saban suffer a meltdown, like Hitler in Downfall.

    @raven: I probably mentioned that I had a golden that was diagnosed with hip dysplasia as a pup. The vet was not a big believer in steroids at the time, and said no exercise. He said he would get enough exercise on his own. I started crying and said he is going to die early. Sunny lived over sixteen spoiled years. He wasn’t crated.

    Is Steve Sarkisian required to blow into a BAC device before the game? Seriously, giving the keys to the offense to that asshole takes some nerve.

    When did the National Championship become a thing? I don’t remember it back in the day and then all of a sudden there it was.

    @JPL: Well, my message got et. He’s got a cervical issue and pulled up lame but he seems good now. They are adamant about steps but the doggie door leads to 4 steps down and he needs to use it some. I’ve been picking him up and putting him down as much as possible but he’s a sneak.

    @raven: Thanks. I pay very little attention to college football. Just remember watching bowl games with family on New Years Day.

    If there is a non-denominational blessing for a well-adjudicated game, I hope it’s been read.

    I’ve watched too many bowl and playoff games with obvious blown calls as of late.

    Watson is gonna get killed. That was a bad as the hit on Aron Murray in the SEC Championship Game a few years back.

    @raven:

    It was really dumb to go for that 1st down.

    Again, yup; I wondered if they had a quick kick in their scheme to try and pin Bama deep but … well, we saw what happened.

    Pre-existing conditions often make pets uninsurable. At least that’s been true for the two times I’ve looked into what is offered locally.

    @dexwood: Yea, Lil Bit is a walking vet bill! I was thinking about calculating how many times I’ve treated her eyes. Twice a day for 9 year so far!

    I hear you. Paid for corrective surgeries and medications for a dog who turned out to be gun shot survivor, though, I didn’t know that when I adopted him. Dog turned out to be worth every penny.
