Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

This really is a full service blog.

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

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

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

He really is that stupid.

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

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

You donā€™t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

Iā€™d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape Americaā€™s future.

Come on, man.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

The revolution will be supervised.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

You cannot shame the shameless.

    I’m so glad my husband and my son and I took the time this summer to visit historic downtown Philadelphia before it was destroyed.

    Congrats to the Eagles. They earned it.

    My Pats have to regroup and win it again next year.

    A lot of people I grew up with are going to be awfully happy. I don’t give a shit about football, other than that I’m glad Tяump’s friend’s team lost, but I’m happy for the town I was born in.

    @Nicole: Survived the British and the colonial Tories in the 1770s and JEB Stuart in 1863. Destroyed by locals in 2017.

    The Dangerman

    The Ernst (sp?) TD was a TD…

    …but the Clement (?) TD was bogus. As I said in the dead thread, the Patriots got screwed by a call. About time.

    I didn’t think the Eagles had a chance and missed almost all the first half. Fine game all I saw. Money throws by Foles.

    No One You Know

    I’m so happy, I could start mummering. And that’s a verb, in my hometown!

    Very happy for Foles. The Rams trade was absurd.

    Also happy to see Brady get taken down a peg. InflateGate is the first thing I think of when I see his name.

    My SIL just called from Five Points. We couldn’t hear anything she said. The screaming drunks were out of control. It sounded just like the Stanley Cup win in 1975. Fuck Tom Brady and Donald Fucking Trump!

    @Omnes Omnibus: If a snarky reference to a football team that Trump drove out of business 30-odd years ago (along with its entire league) is trolling, the term has lost all meaning.

    Canā€™t get my head around Nick Foles with a super bowl ring. Nonetheless, bear down!

    Watching “American Made” with Tom Cruise playing Barry Seal. Got to the part where Reagan is bloviating about how the Sandinista are an “outlaw regime”, running drugs. Irony died that day.

    I’d seen the .gif many times before, but hadn’t really noticed that the chair doesn’t move. He simply, somehow, slides to the right. Weird. :-)

    Only saw a couple of minutes of the game, including the stupid trick play with Brady being a receiver. :-/ . He’s had an amazing career, but they deserved to have that blow up in their faces.

    J’s sad, but not too broken up. She stopped watching after the hit on Cooks. :-(

    Congratulations to the city of Philly.

    But the NFL really needs to go away.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @Steve in the ATL:
    drumpf supposedly has been with a woman and I’d think he’s far more repellent to actual humans than Tom C. Although Tom is a scientologist, so that’s a bunch of points off there. But then I don’t run that way so my opinion counts for zero. As usual.

  42. 42.

    Steve in the ATL

    @Ruckus: Iā€™m sure there are millions of women who would willingly have intimate relations with Cruise. Perhaps thatā€™s not the issue?

    Ruckus

    @Steve in the ATL:
    I considered that’s the direction you were going but, and this isn’t an excuse of any kind but hasn’t he been married? And to female persons for reasonable lengths of time…… My understanding was that he’s fairly deep into the scientology lifestyle and bringing up children more normally was an issue.
    Or am I missing something else altogether? This is possible, I try to avoid any and all issues about anything to do with scientology as much as I can, which I’d like to be zero but due to family history and current conditions I can not quite get to zero at this moment and I consider him to be a rather useless but not necessarily dangerous human, as opposed to half our current political class.

    It seems to to me, to the right, away from the crazy eagle that seems for some strange reason to draw blood. Doesn’t he know he could catch something?

  51. 51.

    Another Scott

    @catclub: A little, sure.

    I’m sure it’s just a perspective issue and he really didn’t float away from the eagle, but it sure looks weird.

    Cheers,

    As a Giants fan I hate the Eagles but hate Tom Brady more. Happy for Foles and that trick play, that the Pats couldn’t pull off, was great. Manning/Odell best ad ever. Dinklage/Freeman close second. (Never watched GoT…Dinklage bad guy from X-Men to me)

    @Adam L Silverman:

    I hope it is something of consequence. I love how when Trump achieves some minor success (not shitting himself during the SOTU), it is almost immediately followed by some new travesty.

    @Steve in the ATL: I got the impression that the Scientology breeding program was worried about his sex life with hints that he might be gay or bi but probably just indiscriminate and not interested in whether he had kids that could be part of the “family”. @Ruckus:

    Best commercial…need I even say it? If you know me, then you know how I feel about Dirty Dancing!

    Worst commercial…Dodge Ram truck w/that MLK voiceover…the less said about that shitty ad, the better…

    @Adam L Silverman: What do you think of the anti-US fervor in Turkey – backing their invasion of Syria?
    There was a WaPo article.

    I think it will be another opportunity to disappoint the kurds. (The Kurds do not control the access to the Black Sea).

    New kitchen faucet, including new flex hoses from the shut-off valves, installed and water turned back on. Nothing dripping; still have to wait 24 hours for the super strength Loctite sealant to set.

    What should have taken 90 minutes took 3+ hours. The old age bod doesn’t wiggle in, around, and out of tight spaces while on the back nor reach and stretch like it used to, so some breaks to un-pain and recover from occasional temporary dizziness were necessary. Plus getting some of the nuts on the old faucet loosened was a bear and a half, their having sat untouched since being installed 49 years ago. Normally could finesse that with what is in the toolbox but instead made a command decision to run out to the nearby hardware store and buy a basin wrench, as will also be doing a replacement for the bathroom sink faucet later on.

    Taking Out Enough To Win

    The Hyundai ad touting the company’s donations to that cancer charity? I definitely ground away some enamel from cringing so intensely, like if it weren’t for Elantras, cancer’s death count would be so much higher.

  68. 68.

    NotMax

    @Jay S

    Only used it on the separate undercover of the faucet unit, not on the nuts. Because of the condition of the surface under the original faucet, it was a more suitable choice.

    Next sucker can spend an extra 10 minutes tapping a putty knife with a hammer around the edges to release it.

    @NotMax: Less than 4 hours isn’t bad!

    I hate plumbing. I always need some other fitting no matter how well I think I’ve planned ahead, it’s always a contortion to get to the bits that need wrenching or soldering, etc., etc.

    Good plumbers earn their pay.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @NotMax: Having just hired a plumber to replace our leaking kitchen faucet, I am genuinely impressed with your skills and efforts. My figurative hat is doffed.

    Buckle up, people! There is a bunch of nasty shit coming soon that will help our union remove this orange boil off our ass.
    I’m not going to tell you what it is. And not where it’s coming from. Or even a way so you can think it’s possible. But it’s coming!

    @Jay S:
    I understood that the kid issue was coming from one of the exes. But anything that interferes with the scientology image is very strongly discussed and all hatches are battened down by all converts in any way connected. Dirty laundry of any kind is not allowed to be public. Someone might think it’s a cult.

    I put in one a lot like that, but with a spray tool also. I think mine is a Delta I got at Ferguson in town. It too took 2 or 3 hours and a basin wrench. Didn’t use Loktite, tho.
