Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

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

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Ah, the different things are different argument.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

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

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

I’ve spoken to my cat about this, but it doesn’t seem to do any good.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Yet Another Calendar Update

This post is in: 

The calendars are all in their envelopes, and we are in the process of attaching labels (they will be mailed tomorrow):

Shout out to BFF Tammy for getting the excel file and labels printed because otherwise I have no idea what I would have done. Thurston is helping, too:

He just loves the camera and any and all attention.

The [email protected] address will remain active, and go ahead and start sending your pictures for next year. I’ll have Alain put it in the sidebar.

    Dogs attracted to cameras is a very short list. See, Thurston has some redeeming qualities.

    @CaseyL: Praising your pets is always important.

    OT: small switch in my schedule will have me back over there from March 29 to April 1. And no that’s not a joke. Although I will be driving home on April Fool’s Day. Let’s hope my car doesn’t get any notions.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! It is truly the most wonderful time of the year. I’m sure it’s a huge pain, but we love the calendar. Thanks also to everyone who submits photos!

    They are roasting this guy at the WH podium for the press corps. I wonder why they could not have been asking on point questions like this for the last 18 months?

    Can this guy run for congress, please?

    Mississippi Democrat forced the state’s GOP to confront their own hypocrisy on gun laws Thursday when he brandished an unloaded firearm on the floor of the state House.

    Jackson, Mississippi’s Clarion-Ledger reported that state Rep. Charles Young Jr. waved his gun and concealed carry permit when speaking on the House floor to protest a gun rights bill that later passed. House Bill 1083, according to Mississippi Today, will strengthen protections for people with concealed-carry permits to bring weapons onto college campuses. University leaders throughout the state opposed the bill prior to its passage, saying it would make campuses unsafe.

    “Let’s grow up,” Young said, citing a Supreme Court decision against Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn (R) that says legislative decisions can “supersede state law” with regards to his violation of “a joint legislative rule that says no one but sworn law enforcement can carry a gun in the Capitol or House or Senate chambers. “Are you asking me to have you escorted out by the sergeant at arms, gentleman?” the Democrat asked the House speaker, which brought laughs from his “well-armed” colleagues.

    House Speaker Philip Gunn. Nice.

    @trollhattan: It’s almost like they set that up for him.

    I’m all for trying for the seat when Cochran kicks it or steps down. If that goes open in November in this environment who knows…

    I used to do a newsletter and getting the labels printed was a nightmare so I feel your pain.

    Your herbs are developing nicely. Thurston is a very good boy and that is about the best photo of a dog you’ve produced ever. Thanks!

    @Mary G:
    When I finally got around to taking an MS Word course I learned to use mailmerge correctly, and suddenly the process became easy, including labels or printed envelopes. You still have to enter all the darn things though, and that takes time! Probably not worth it for a one-off.

    Stock market shit the bed again today. Dow down another grand to about 23,8somethingsomething. And we’re gearing up for another shutdown here at Giant Fed Agency! Yay!

    @Spanky: Yup. Looks like Baby Doc is trying to spike the whole agreement on his lonesome. Trying to restore the spending caps is pretty much blowing up the whole thing. Good thing I got everything set up to get the unemployment application in!

    Awwww, Thurston! Lovey gets that same look on her face.

    Bad as they are, they are just the cutest things.

    Since you mentioned it at one point, I will definitely be in Denver on July 17th. I bought my plane ticket yesterday.

    @Scamp Dog:

    Yay! 7/17 is the only day I can commit to because I’ll be there for the RWA conference and will probably be totally wiped out every other day of that week.

    @trollhattan: It’s totally worth it… especially because next year we will only need to add the new purchasers of the Calendar and then we can just create a mail merge once again. And I’m such a computer nerd I don’t mind to type in everyone’s information. Plus it’s helped me figure out who some of the bloggers are… and to determine where the majority of Cole’s SUPER FANS/devotees are from. It’s quite telling, actually!

    Thank you for all the hard work, and your BFF too. And Thurston is so adorable! I’m like the 4th person on this short thread to say so, but he is!

    @Tams: I hope you know that Smedley is just fooling around. He has been “play” complaining about the calendar since Cole started talking about it a couple of weeks ago.

    You are so nice to help Cole with this!
