Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

I was promised a recession.

He really is that stupid.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

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

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

Elections aren’t won by handwringing, cowering, and/or bashing your own candidates.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

Republicans can’t even be trusted with their own money.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Bark louder, little dog.

    Washington (the real Huskies) and Cal don’t kick off until 7:45 Pacific time tonight. Who thought that was a good idea?

    NWSL semi-final Portland at Orlando. Now that’s entertainment.

    O/T In which Glenn Greenwald (I know, I know) commits an act of actual important journalism–federal government is completely in bed with Big Ag to strangle public knowledge of their vile practices. Hey, it’s only our food supply, so no big.

    Do not read over lunch.

    @trollhattan: The Pac-12 Network needs to be shit-canned, and the Commish needs his @ss kicked. Looks like the Coogs get their first test in Eugene, I hear they five of their last seven games on the road, still I want them and the DAWGS(Memo to Steve in the ATL, that is what the Huskies are referred to here) to run the table and make it an Apple Cup where one has to be very careful which sports-bar to go.

    @raven: did you hear that bit on the Vanderbilt tradition of “blowing the Admiral”? I was signed up to go their both undergrad and law school–this makes me glad I changed my mind twice!

    ESPN. This morning on gameday:
    “College GameDay’s Kirk Herbstreit responded to Chris Petersen’s complaints about late-night Huskies kickoff times today, saying the Washington head coach should be thanking the Worldwide Leader for airing their games at all.”

    -As someone who stays up late on the east coast, I love having a good game on that late.

    @raven:
    Still think of it as the Pac 8. How the fig is Arizona on the Pacific–is the ocean rising that quickly?

    @raven:
    They’re right out. The redeeming aspect is listening to a game that includes Utah because every time they announce a “Ute” has done something I flash to My Cousin Vinny, “Dese two Utes…”

    Im in New Jersey. I keep waiting for the upper East Coast’s turn to get hit in this bizarre Hurricane season. Though most of the time, when a storm moves up the coast, it veers off eastward and just beats the crap out of Long Island.

    @Steve in the ATL: One of our racing coaches was trying to get people to believe that the Vanderbilt start was named after his alma mater. They do share a namesake, but the start was named for the commodore, not the school.

    Back (waaaayyyy back) even when I cared about college foosball* I couldn’t name all the members of the old SWC. Rice? Yes, pretty sure. SMU? No. TCU? uhhhh… all that mattered then was Texas & Arkansas anyway. What’s the old SWC’s name now? I’ll have to google it.

    *Currently I’m more likely to watch a college game than the pros: more action, fewer flags. But concussions, NFL billionaires are turning me off to the game at all levels. I’ve lived to see the Pats win a Super Bowl (or five), it can all go away now…

    I have a question. Is the haircut with the sides of the head shaved and the remainder on top pomaded into a grease spot the latest in Nazi tonsorial style? If the young man with said tonsorial style is strolling along wearing a sport coat, white shirt, khakis, and a bow tie holding his blonde girl-friend’s hand do these facts confirm or refute the proposition that he has a Nazi haircut? Lastly, if all other males within a three block radius are wearing Levi’s or Bermuda shorts with tee-shirts or golf shirts and it’s Saturday morning and 65 degrees F, does this further confirm the initial proposition that the hairstyle described is a Nazi special? If so, should I have assumed he is a Nazi or a Nazi dupe and punched him in the face?

    Side shave and pomade topknot deserves a punch no matter what the politics. *hrumph hrumph get off my lawn*
