Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

You cannot shame the shameless.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

People are complicated. Love is not.

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

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

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

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

    So far, both of the (football) teams I am rooting against have a 14-0 lead. Killing a bit of time before I switch over to baseball.

    @Smedley Darlington Mingobat (formerly Mumphrey, et al.): I was running a star party at a local park, and the way it was clearing it was starting to look like we might actually have something for folks to look at, but the clouds never really let up.

    Otherwise, I would have given Rockville a shot, despite the hour each way. Hope the turnout was large and interesting! Or at least interesting.

    DeAndre Hopkins wasn’t just covered in the end zone. He was rolled in a rug, dipped in blow in insulation and then tucked into a sleeping bag.

    I live near some of the most gorgeous beaches anywhere in the world and I haven’t been once this summer. Pathetic.

    One of the things I miss most about teaching was having summers off. I used to have a houseful of kids because my friends who worked summers, especially seasonal workers, would drop their kids off early every weekday morning. Unless it was raining, I took a minivan full of kids to the beach every afternoon.

    The kids miss it too because whenever they get together they always say how much they wish they could have summers like that now.

    Sportsball; Ireland division. Today was the All Ireland Ladies Football final. Dublin beat Cork. 20-15. Also, too, the girls broke a record for spectators at Croke Park, 50,141 compared to the pitiful boys all Ireland final spectators number of 46,286.

    UP THE DUBS!!!!!!!

    It’s an exciting early season for my Liverpool FC. Even people who don’t actually play for/work for/support the Beatles’ hometown club think they’re showing title-winning form.

    You could still be at a beach.
    Might have involved an airplane ride to get to one you could sit on….

    Windy rainfall map for the storm at the moment:
    https://www.windy.com/-Rain-thunder-rain?rain,33.569,-71.521,6

    I don’t know what the units (inches) mean on the scale. The red zone is 1.2 ” but is that per day? hour?

    If you track the storm over the next days, you see it turn just at the NH-Maine border and go offshore. The colder Gulf o’ Maine water turns it. So no rain for Maine, unlike the model a few days ago that went right through the whole state.

    At the higher resolution, the storm is shown tracking further to the west.

    Numbers from CNN this a.m.:

    30.58 inches rainfall so far of in Swansboro NC

    Recorded wind gusts:
    112 mph at NC New River Inlet
    105 mph at Wilmington International Airport and Fort Macon

    Winds of 39 mph or greater recorded up to 150 miles from storm center

    More than 20,000 shelter evacuees at 157 emergency shelters in North Carolina on Saturday.

    Over 796,400 customers without power in the Carolinas.
    760,200 in North Carolina; 36,200 in South Carolina.
    (Number of people who lost electricity is far greater than customer number.)

    @MomSense: Great inborn talent of kids is how they make (or inspire) one to go have fun. And even if the best I can do is to just drag my mood around, they still have fun.

    I’m old enough to remember when Steelers were predicted to be SB bound. Losing to the Chiefs and tying the Browns is a hell of start to that goal.

    We’re getting the Florence bands right now in Piedmont NC. Wait just a bit, the beach is coming your way!
