Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Facilitate” is an active verb, not a weasel word.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

You cannot shame the shameless.

With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.

Democracy cannot function without a free press.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Books are my comfort food!

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Museums are not America’s attic for its racist shit.

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Not loving this new fraud based economy.

I am pretty sure these ‘journalists’ were not always such a bootlicking sycophants.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The “burn-it-down” people are good with that until they become part of the kindling.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

The willow is too close to the house.

Let there be snark.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

    Trojans managed to come back last night and get a victory. Saved Clay Helton for a couple more weeks. May be a turning point like two years ago.

    Hello? Is this mike on?

    Ahem. So it’s not the university version of the gridiron sport, but … Liverpool FC are back at the top of the English Premier League (pending the outcome of tomorrow’s Chelsea-West Ham Utd match) with a comfortable 3-0 home win over Southampton. Chelsea will need a 2-0 win to match Liverpool atthe top of the table on points tally, goal difference, and goals scored.

    Game day here in my little college town – people everywhere, students are back – a little light rain. Trying to stay away from campus area… not a football fan ?

    Well, all people here to is bitch about football and all people do on the Dawg blog is bitch about the Dawgs so there isn’t much point.

    Wow, the Cornhuskers really suck. Michigan hung half a hundy on them before the end of the third quarter. Much rending of shirts and wearing of ash cloth here in Huskerland.

    Since this is an open thread:

    I’m currently job hunting and some of my keywords are “policy analyst” and “Washington DC.” Well, guess what came across my Indeed recommendations today?

    “Policy Analyst – TRADE Executive Office of the President.”

    I think that’s a little too late, guys…

    I’ll be walking over to Mom’s house for dinner and the Oregon/Stanford game. Pot roast, the perfect meal for a rainy day and football. Go Ducks!

    @Mathguy: My Boilers, who managed to whoop ranked Boston College today after going O for their first 3 games, play them next. There’s a worry that no matter how bad they are, the Huskers see Purdue as a winnable game and put up fight at home. It’s not who you play but when you play them.

    My Longhorns managed to beat USC last week, but I don’t hold a lot of hope for them against TCU this afternoon. We are rebuilding, so they say, and it is taking longer than expected.

    I’ll be at the UW vs ASU game in Seattle tonight. Watching my kid perform at half time. It’s Husky Band Day where about 50 HS marching bands show up to perform together at half. Pretty impressive how they can squeeze them all in elbow to elbow. That many bands playing together at once is impressive

    As a UW alum I’ll also be watching the game.

    @Duane: back in law school i played on an intramural softball team with your offensive coordinator. Quite an athlete!

    Here’s a sample

    Bad up front on both sides and play calling is once again a prime suspect. We lose three this year including the SECCG. Do yourselves a favor and don’t watch Bama. That way you can keep telling yourself we’re a good team. I do think next year will be more like last year but we got some growing up to do both physically and mentally to run with the big dogs.

    Card v. Ducks starting in less than an hour. Time to trot out one of my favorite chants from the yell leaders.

    Pursue them. Pursue them. Make them relinquish the ball!

    Go Stanford!

    @Duane: I’ve been there for years and enjoy fucking with them. The blog owner is a really good dude, UGA Law like Steve and it’s got great content. They just go apeshit almost every game.

    UW Huskies got stuck with all night games last year by decree of the lords of sports and TV, hopefully this won’t be a repeat year, or we’ll have to rename them the Night Wolves.

    Eff this whole ‘west coast has to play night games’ business.

    @Sloegin:

    I hate the night games too. Especially later in the year in the Northwest when it’s cold wet and windy. When we lived in TX they were pleasant but not here. We got a hotel room in Seattle at game day prices. The HS band buses don’t get back to Vancouver until 4am tomorrow morning. I’m snatching my daughter up after the game and we are sleeping here.

    @raven:

    I still call it Fort Lewis too. Had an uncle who was a Colonel stationed there back when I was I was a kid in the 70s and we’d drive up on weekends to hang out and go sailing with my cousins. He had one of the biggest houses on the base.

    It is now called something weird like Joint Base Lewis-McCord.

    Monday practice will be rough in Nebraska, I fear.
