Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

The current Supreme Court is a dangerous, rogue court.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

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

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

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

Mediocre white men think RFK Jr’s pathetic midlife crisis is inspirational. The bar is set so low for them, it’s subterranean.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Bark louder, little dog.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Not all heroes wear capes.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

The snowflake in chief appeared visibly frustrated when questioned by a reporter about egg prices.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

    Fuck yeah Lily.

    Not gonna lie, I took Lily’s diagnosis almost as hard as I took Hair Fuhrer’s election…

    Cherish your days with your loved ones folks!

    Yay Lily!

    The stupid urgent care center made me go to the ER for my asthma attack because they didn’t have any oxygen, so it cost me $200 instead of $50. Plus I felt stupid walking into the ER with moderate asthma that was making me uncomfortable, but luckily it was a quiet afternoon.

    I was so happy to read that on Twitter earlier. Now I’m happy because you shared that with us here. I was hoping you would!

    The picture of Lily doesn’t show up for me. Sometimes when I load the page, I get the big box with a question mark inside. If I reload, I don’t get that but there is no indication that there should be a photo there, except that there is an extra line of space.

    But if I click in the white space, a HUGE photo appears. Sweet Lily.

    @Mnemosyne: Several years ago when I wasn’t on regular medication, I had my wife take me to the local ER because I felt an oncoming asthma attack. The ER bill was about $300 but they did call me the next day to ask how I was doing.

    I look forward to next week when Miss Lily jumps up on your bed to wake your ass up to take her out to pee.

    Can’t wait for the curmudgeonly rant.??????

    Lily! She’s just the best, sweetest girl.

    @Mnemosyne: Wow, that sounds scary. Could you appeal to the insurance company for the $150 difference since it’s not your fault they didn’t have oxygen?

    Lily jumped up on to the bed today for the first time since she was diagnosed with cancer.

    Aw, man, that’s wonderful, Cole. She’s a good girl!

    @WaterGirl: That’s like that post from Alain the other day that had the scary Yule loaf or whatever it was that looked like body parts. Showed up in Cole’s Twitter feed for the tweet for that post but I couldn’t see it in the actual post at all.

    @Yutsano:

    Also: why does that look like Rumsfeld on your screen?

    Right wing porn. Who knows what Rumsfeld is doing leaning down like that..

    At the risk of writing the same thing that every other decent human being writes in this comment section. That is great news about Lily. I’m so happy that she’s feeling better.

    Great news about Lily!

    Hugo, the neighborhood stray cat my good friends took in a couple of months ago, wasn’t eating last week and was diagnosed with cancer, which makes me very sad. However, he was put on anti-nausea drugs and painkillers, and he’s now eating like a horse and acting like his old self. With luck he’ll have at least a couple of good years, and he might get really lucky and go into remission. (That’s all I know; I don’t know the specifics yet.)

    And in happier news, my good friend Jennifer Boysko easily won the nomination for Jennifer Wexton’s state senate seat. Even better, 2600+ people came out to vote for the nomination yesterday, and when the Republicans had their nominating meeting today, they had 69 people voting.

    Yeah, it’s probably pretty boring to read all the “yeah, Lilly!”
    But, still, “yeah Lilly!” After all, we like to see these posts…

    @WaterGirl: I’ve appealed things and managed to get them approved. Sometimes the wording that works is even available online. One can always try.

    @Yarrow:

    Sadly, what WaterGirl said. The insurance company will say I chose to go there, so tough luck. I was able to afford it, so luckily it was more of an annoyance than anything else.

    Thanks for cute petpic. Nice to hear Lily is getting spry again.
    But, looks like she was watching something else. Was she just taking a break for ‘squirrel!’ in the window, or something?

    Great news about Lily. Happy to hear she’s getting back to her old self. You both have done wonders for each other.

    That is one sweet photo of Lily.

    Also, I watched the first three episodes of Homecoming this weekend, so if you figure out what that show is about, let me know.

    So I’m thinking of a Olympus Has Fallen II.

    The President is a young, female Military Veteran of Colour.

    The “Presidential Bunker” is revealed as nothing more than a Safe Room, because Washington is built on a swamp.

    The Speaker is a Rethug, who elects to take no action, as when the President is dead, “we’ll just call a Special Election”

    The attackers arn’t NORKs, but instead ‘Murkin Nazi’s and Militia’s.

    The President, along with a no traditional alliance, saves herself.

    So I’ve got the immigrant taxi driver who figures out the MAGA’s armed to the shit, arn’t White House Tourists, and takes action,

    The old, crochety LBGTQ frendly White guy , ( maybe the VP) who pulls the tennis balls off his walker, and takes out Nazis.

    Any other ideas?

    You are so lucky! When it comes to cancer and my pets, I have no luck at all. I am very happy for you and Lily.
