Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

In my day, never was longer.

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

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

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

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

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

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

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

“But what about the lurkers?”

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

This blog will pay for itself.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

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

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

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

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

A Senator Walker would be an insult to the state and the nation.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Let there be snark.

    But cute as heck still!

    They look like me, sitting here waiting for Depeche Mode to take the stage. Some of us are old, let’s get the show going!

    Oh, you’ll be fine. Lots of empty nesters find it liberating once they adjust to the quiet.

    Just got home a little while ago from seeing Deadpool 2. It was an amazing movie. Well done in so many ways. Josh Brolin burned up the screen, such a great performance. Bravo!

    @TaMara (HFG):
    I remember this episode. Griffith sure lost the accent and looked really tired as the seasons wore on.

    I’d want them to leave… at least, the middle one in the bottom row is giving you a look that says “do you feel like food? Because you sure LOOK like food!”

    @TaMara (HFG): Make sure Cole has that saved and ready to play.He’ll need it when they fly off.

    Cole: thanks for chixpix. Keep us posted. And when they fly away and break your heart, we’ll be there for you.

    I love them and do not want them to leave.

    Tray-style feeder atop a four-foot free-standing post in the back yard, maybe six to ten feet from a back window,
    with a squirrel-preventer conical metal skirt on the post;
    and/or a tube feeder with slot-style finch seed ports, hung somewhere convenient.

    “Audubon mix” high-quality wild bird seed mix, a cup per day, in the tray feeder,
    or finch mix in the tube feeder.

    You’ll have them and their collateral descendents singing from your trees and bushes as long as you keep feeding them.
    And house finches are wonderful singers, even though they look like scruffy big-nosed sparrows who’ve been to a Holi festival.

    Next year you can give them or their kids a proper house. or two.

    @TaMara (HFG): Dawww…my critters hereabouts now are a very mutually supportive pair of Say’s Phoebes, I think, which I believe are brooding right now.

    Mama was quite fat until a few days ago, and then her mate was gathering thready weeds in the garden, so I assume that they have at least some eggs in a nest nearby. I feed them hulled sunflower seeds and offer water, upon all of which they seem to rely. The dad bird is crazy supportive and so protective. Love these birds in my yard!

    John – thank you for sharing wonderful pics of your leetle baby dinosaurs!

    If you can manage to watch them fledge, I encourage it – it’s kind of magical.

    I spend a lot of time watching birds (though in a residential area, I live in a pine forest), and house finches are resident bird feeder guests. They are not shy about claiming their time at the feeders. John can invite them to stay quite easily. Feed them. Multiple feeders (I host 3) will improve your life. The ability to just be able to co-exist with and closely observe them is alluring (who knew that chickadees are so cool?)

    You get the benefit of being able to see other things as well. While bird watching (and being outside for smoke related reasons), I watched a lizard take a dump. Satisfying for both of us. I was also recently fortunate to see a cara cara at close range (on a deck railing from inside a house on Bolivar Peninsula, TX). Google the bird to find out what evidently inspired Kim Jong-un’s coif.

    Terrible nightmare – I could literally feel the adrenaline pump in.

    Honestly, Trump, you thoughtless idiot. American and other foreign journalists still in North Korea:

    Something interesting is happening at our hotel in Wonsan. We’ve been told to stay inside and not look out the windows. Most of us are assembled in the press center. Our minders don’t seem to know what’s going on. It may be no big deal, but you never know in North Korea. pic.twitter.com/ufMyYoo9SP— Will Ripley (@willripleyCNN) May 25, 2018

    A fellow journalist who was outside was told to come inside, and says he noticed signs of increased security around our hotel. This is getting more interesting. https://t.co/IADtIeUwAW— Will Ripley (@willripleyCNN) May 25, 2018

    @Mary G:

    Holy shit, Trumpett Man!!! What have you done~~?????~~!!!!??!!

    Maybe they’re just sending them away?

    @J R in WV: God, I hope Kim realizes that he’s totally pantsed Twitler in the eyes of most of the world, and doing bad things to CNN and other Western journalists would be stupid, but he’s as crazy as they come.

    I’m back to bed. This is not helping.

    Mealworms John. Stock up on mealworms and they never will leave. But please, feed them from your fingers, not your mouth.

    What strikes me most is JCs open acknowledgement of his love and attachments to these fuzzy critters. So very sweet.
