Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

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

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Oh FFS you might as well trust a 6-year-old with a flamethrower.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

I was promised a recession.

So many bastards, so little time.

Denver Meet-Up: It’s On

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

Okay, I got my help, so the meet-up is on. Here’s the info and thanks to Scamp Dog for taking over setup duties. From him:

Hello Juicers, how about Denver area get-together at Rosita’s (8050 N Federal Blvd, Westminster, CO) on Sunday, October 22nd? I will make reservations the day before, and try to scare up some green balloons to mark our table.

I’m thinking about 5 pm since some of you have a drive. Give us a head  count and if all that sounds good in the comments.  Now that I’m not in charge, I’m very excited to me all of you. Lurkers and introverts more than welcome!

    I have family coming to town that night, so won’t be able to attend. It’ll be an interesting night. Wish I could be there.

    @Emma Anne: If it’s the same Gretchen I’m thinking of, she’s about 600 miles away in suburban Kansas City. (Or did she mention a road trip to CO? I don’t catch all the posts/comments.)

    She and a fellow Kansan were talking about a get-together on an earlier thread, but not the one planned for the Denver area.

    I was heading to San Francisco that Sunday for an arbitration, but it got moved to Denver. Then, as soon as the case settled, eliminating my trip to Denver, you guys schedule a meetup there. I’m trying not to take this personally….

    @Mike J: I went to the one in Lake City. Ironically if I had been told the change of venue I would have been there much easier.

    Enjoy, I’ve heard good things about Rositas! If I get to Southern Colorado next summer, I’ll try to arrange a meetup somewhere convenient, like Dorothy’s Tamales in Fairplay.

    What about Cain? The fellow who recently moved to Denver to work on a Linux project and was the inspiration for this meet-up? Haven’t seen him in the comments for a while.

    @Yutsano: I am so sorry we missed you/you missed us. But I do have to mention that the venue was posted twice by Anne Laurie: a first announcement and then a reminder yesterday.

    Next time for sure, though!

    Cain, let us know if you can make it. If not, we’ll schedule another one that you can get to. After all, you’re the inspiration for this get-together!

    Sounds like fun! Thanks, Scamp Dog! I am putting it on my calendar and Google-mapping the location!

    @Alain the site fixer: Ooh, Fairplay! I’ve got some nice photos from our ride there a couple weeks back, maybe I should see if I can send some to you!

    I’ll likely show up, expect at least someone that I’ll click with. As I’ve said, I don’t relate well to the “I’m with her” types, or the rural PTSD/gun nuts. But even though i don’t smoke i should get along with the pot heads. I’m not a native but I have chosen Denver as one of the best places to live.

    So, count on 2 of us. My SO has never and would never consider even looking at BJ but I think you will find her interesting.

    @Psych1: Dry up, you great prune. Could you get that nose any higher up in the air, and still have your feet on the ground? Wouldn’t you be happier down in Dobson Springs?

    Go fuck yourself.

    @Psych1: I saw your comment, I already begged off. I wouldn’t want to be in the same room as a judgemental prig like you.
