Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

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

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

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

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

This blog will pay for itself.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

Battle won, war still ongoing.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

I really should read my own blog.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

    Maggots, mold and dirt reported in Weber jail food
    SUNDAY , JANUARY 14, 2018 – 5:15 AM

    Over the past three years, Weber County Jail inmates reported maggots, mold, and dirt in their meals, and health inspectors cited the food service contractor with an unrelated series of critical violations, according to county records.

    Inmate grievance reports and complaint investigations by Weber-Morgan Health Department inspectors verified at least four instances of adulterated food, starting with moldy bread in April 2015.

    There seems to be an extended discussion of baked goods on this thread. Sometimes I feel like I am missing something but I will just have to live with it.

    Edit: I should have read to the end of the thread as @Gravenstone: got here first.

    @trollhattan: Um, “not so fast, Schwartz!” Jags better keep petal to the medal – don’ tlet the Tar&Piss up off the ground unless it’s to smash ’em down again.

    @? ?? Goku (aka The Hope of the Universe) ? ?: Co-sign re I’mARantin’ POS. I see s/he still hasn’t completed that course in how to discharge a loaded shotgun with the big toe while the barrel is firmly in the mouth. Wie Schade.

    @trollhattan:
    But there is still a chance for a Vikings/anybody Stupor Bowel so you are not out of the woods yet. I think they play today and how they screw it up this year is the only interesting story? Take a knee while driving at the half? 41-0? Wide right for the only missed FG all year? Something new every chance.

    28-14 at the half, Steelers down, but they scored at the very end of the 2nd, so they will be fired up. My husband and son are ticked off.

    @Uncle Cosmo: @Schlemazel:
    After last year’s Falcons meltdown I’m out of the first-half fork-impalement bidnez. But no matter what, Jerry Jones will not be on my teebee in February and even more importantly, you-know-who won’t be in the owner’s box.

    Oh shit, I forgot about Robert Kraft!

    I thought Cole was getting a welfare check, aka money from the government. I see now that we are checking on him, must be terrible sports news.

    There was an entry in the Flathead County (MT) Police blotter a couple weeks ago about a heavily intoxicated man calling for a welfare check on himself. I was glad to know JC is on the wagon

    Oh well. My poor spouse is a Cleveland Browns fan. He is planning to stop watching football next year because of the concusion stuff. This year makes it much easier.

    If anyone does head over that way, remember to have a game-plan: CPR or keep the pets from bothering the unconscious man, then the other one.

    @J R in WV: Thanks for calling me stupid in the other thread. I didn’t have the whole story until a couple of people laid it all out. I only had a small piece of the story and it looked to me exactly the way I described it, but you couldn’t take the time to explain it to me, could you.?
    Kind of hurts even though I don’t know you other than here, and I thought we were on friendly terms.

    Not all of us are running at 100% all the time and maybe I missed something after I saw Anne Laurie’s second comment to me, which I understood and agreed with. I got no sleep because of this respiratory infection I’ve been fighting since Christmas Eve so I’m going to use that as my excuse for not being perfectly brilliant. What’s yours for being so unkind? .

    @opiejeanne:

    I apologize for offending you. I was crude and offensive and have no excuse. All I can do is say I’m sorry.

    I don’t follow movie stars much, but am totally over men taking advantage of women in the media which this appeared to be another example of to me at the time. I’m not very fond of the public face of my gender right now, and what’s his name seems like a prime example of that. Now I’m gonna apologize for explaining after saying I got no excuse.

    PS, I also am recovering from an upper respiratory infection which fortunately is responding to antibiotics very well. Wife also too. Hard to keep house when you’re both down with even a mild crud. Best of luck with your own crud!! Winter sucks for being sick!! Take care!

    Also, on a completely different topic, how did the stillers get within 3 in that game??? amazeballs luck is all !

    What Have the Romans Ever Done for Us?

    @Sab: I grew up a Lions fan and stopped watching when I moved away from Michigan as at that point I would have had to go to significant effort or cost to watch them, and after more than 30 years of futility I figured they hadn’t earned that level of commitment.

    It’s weird that (s)he occasionally offers something relevant or insightful. Mostly just misses the mark 10 out of 11 times.
