Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

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

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Books are my comfort food!

The world has changed, and neither one recognizes it.

I really should read my own blog.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

“Perhaps I should have considered other options.” (head-desk)

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory.  oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

    Well, the Preds are at home, so they’ll have a genuine NHL goalie. Apparently when they travel, some Humpty amateur from a police and fire league steals Rinne’s uniform and pads.

    TonyCast, anyone?

    I’m going back and forth. Right now, a song is being sung from a nominated musical set in Newfoundland.

    This is not the South Park movie.

    So my boss and I were in LA Wednesday. He’s from Cleveland. Yuuuuuge Cavs guy. But he’s depressed over the way the series has gone, so he says we aren’t watching the game tonight, I made reservations at this little Asian fusion bistro in Manhattan Beach.

    Great. Reservations are at 7:30. So we meet in the hotel bar at 6:15 or so, figure we’ll have a couple of rounds and head off.

    The game is on the TV at the bar of course. If you watched the game you know what’s next: the Cavs were playing well and had a small but consistent lead. So he’s glued to it, and asks me to tell him when it’s time to leave.

    7 pm. Time to go. No, give it a few minutes. 7:10. 7:20. He says, We’ll leave at halftime ok? (He was super apologetic, but I really didn’t mind)

    So we leave at halftime. But we must have picked the only Asian fusion bistro in Southern California that had a TV behind the bar! We ended up sitting at the bar for dinner and watching the game, which the Cavs lost in the last minute after being up by 7 in the fourth quarter.

    Not a fun time!

    I’m watching the US vs Mexico game as I make the weekly food and prep for at least an hour on this video project due next weekend. I don’t exactly weekend correct.

    @efgoldman: It is amazing that each team can only play well at home in this series. Based on which team gets more games at home, this does not favor Nashville.

    It’s amazing that Rinne turns into runny Jello in Pittsburgh.
    Bruins’ Rask used to have the same problem in Montreal.

    Sissons got HOSED out of a goal. That idiot ref blew the whistle WAY too early.

    @Mike J: They manage to do excellent ice in Tampa through to the Cup final. They should be able to do it in Nashville too.

    I’ll take the point. It would have been great if Pulisic could have scored on that shot that went wide.

    I’m old enough to remember when the old Boston Garden had no a/c. Finals on hot, humid May and June nights could be… interesting.
    One night vs Edmonton the ice was covered with two feet of fog. Nobody could see the puck. They had to have both teams skate around in circles to disperse it.
    I don’t remember if that was the same night (but pretty sure it was the same series) that a circuit board blew out from the strain, AND the game went to triple OT. Ended after 200am.

    what a great game! I used to live near Pittsburgh right around the time when I got into watching sports. Still a Steelers fan and definitely rooting for the Penguins.

    @japa21: @David Anderson:

    The refs were on the Pens side the whole series.

    I hate the Pens, but they were clearly the better team.
    The zebras didn’t turn Rinne into a sieve when he played in Pittsburgh.

    That was in 1988. The 4th game of the series. It had to be moved to Edmonton to finish. The Oilers closed out the Bruins in that game to win their 4th Stanley Cup. Shortly thereafter, Wayne Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles in a trade that stunned the hockey world.

    @RobertDSC-Mac Mini: He asked to be traded as I recall. This was definitely the best game of the series. Murray stepped it up and Pittsburgh really looked faster than Nashville in fights for the puck.

    a thousand flouncing lurkers (was fidelio)

    My conclusion is that the Penguins were just too lazy to play overtime for this.
