Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

It’s the corruption, stupid.

He really is that stupid.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Not all heroes wear capes.

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

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

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

Today, pictures from valued commenter EBT.

We have been fixing up a ranch, and part of that means upping our cat quota.

This first little man is Hobbs. He has been running all over the house exploring this new huge space and most recently made us spend 20 minutes trying to find him hiding out under the edge of a blanket.

And here is Hobbs’ little brother Archimedes. He is already exhausted from being brought home and exploring the house. I expect him to wake up around 2 am and cause property damage.

And now we move on to the two cats we already had.
This handsome panther of a bastard is Binx, and he will talk your head off. His main form of entertainment is flopping just out of your reach, and getting up and acting offended if you do anything other than strain yourself to reach him. Currently he is walking around the house letting everyone know there are kittens.

And finally we have Takkun (tah-koon). She is not having this whole “new kitten” thing and has taken to hiding under the bed and screeching if anyone moves the bed skirt to look at her. In a couple days the new reality will sink in and she will come back out.

 

Thank you so much EBT, do send us more when you can.

    Hobbs looks like the good kind of trouble. They are an excellent herd of cats – congratulations on being hired to take care of them!

    Hobbs and Archimedes are wonderful, handsome kitties!!

    The older cats are black cats, which are beautiful in their own dark way, like BatMan.

    Our first cat, way back in Pascagoula, MS, was all black, and we named her Jezibel.

    Good luck with the kittens and Christmas stuff, they love it, they want it, and they will have it, all over the floor.
