Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

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

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

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

The most dangerous place for a black man in America is in a white man’s imagination.

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

The revolution will be supervised.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Let us savor the impending downfall of lawless scoundrels who richly deserve the trouble barreling their way.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

No Justins, No Peace

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

Anybody Interested in a Sacramento Meet-Up This Weekend?

This post is in: ,

Apologies for the late notice (my fault), a query from commentor and party-promoter lahke:

Hi, folks! I’m temporarily in the Sacramento area (shuttling between Fair Oaks and Roseville). Are there any local jackals who want to do a meet up?

I’m thinking Saturday evening, but open to alternatives.

If you’re interested, leave a comment below, or send me an email at annelaurie (dot) bj (at) gmail (dot) com, and I’ll forward your message.

    West of the Rockies (been a while)

    I’m about 90 minutes away… I could go if anyone else is on board.

    A Sacto meet up would be swell, but I’m booked on Saturday. What’s your Sunday am look like?
    Trollhattan, Darkrose, others?
    Maybe Old Soul at the Weatherstone (21st and I st.)?

    I’m in Grass Valley. Would love to hitch a ride if anyone from Nevada City, Grass Valley or Auburn attends. Any time Saturday or Sunday is good for me.

    @middlelee: Grass Valley! What an embarrassment of riches you have in that community – the music scene, the local radio, and the fair grounds from the land that time forgot. Plus local brews and cheese and such.

    @laura:
    Also a calendar embarrassment. I just got an email reminder that I’m scheduled to attend a workshop in Nevada City from 1-5 p.m. on Saturday. Sigh.
    And yes, this is a fabulous place to live. The climate is wonderful (heat isn’t my enemy) and I live out in the country with wild turkeys, deer, farm animals on all sides, so many flower colors all year round. So much great food and good wine. Also, many liberals, a writer’s group, and an active sangha as well as Unitarians. Can you tell I’m happy here?

    Hi, and I’m so sorry to rescind the invitation, but my father died unexpectedly yesterday and I don’t think I’m up for it.
    In one sense it wasn’t unexpected because he was a week shy of his 99th birthday and quite frail, but he was not sick before. He just had breathing trouble and then seizures and then died. At least I was here in town, and not having to fly in from Boston now.

    @Lahke: Oh, I’m sorry. Even at that age, it’s a big loss. Glad to hear he didn’t suffer months of pain, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. My condolences to your family.

    So sorry about your Dad. I’m just outside of Roseville. If you need anything, Anne Laurie can share my email addy.

    I’m so sorry to hear that, Lahke!

    As Joe Biden says: May the day soon come when the thought of him brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eyes.

    Will put up another post with updates…
