Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

We are aware of all internet traditions.

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

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

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

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

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

If you are still in the GOP, you are an extremist.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

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

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

This fight is for everything.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.

“But what about the lurkers?”

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

    People are cluttering up the inbox over this? It’s not like you’re exactly shy about sharing anything worth reporting.

    Hey, John!
    How’s your father doing? I haven’t heard anything since forever.

    Glad to see he’s doing well. And I like the pillow.

    Wait a minute… that’s a shot of DICK CHENEY!

    Okay, which one of you jackals is missing a heart?

    We were supposed to email you? Nobody told me.

    Good to see the proof of life, thanks. Considering he had a joint replaced and a heart bypass, he looks spectacular.

    It’s good to see someone back where they belong and recovering. Hopefully it’s not Dick Cheney that took his place. ;)

    Hmm…
    Still not seeing it.

    Have to see what the plan is here. I don’t need this bed but do require some major rehab.

    Hi Dad Cole. You look amazing!
    ::waving::

    But this picture was from an hour ago, so please excuse me while I send Cole an ALL CAPS EMAIL ASKING JOHN HOW YOU ARE DOING.

    When I had my triple bypass, my caregivers and those who were in the room when I came to, signed mine. Since then, my thoracic surgeon has died of cancer, my cardiologist retired to his native Österreich, and one of the witnesses is awaiting execution. The spousal unit, or at least somebody with access to her cellphone number, remains with us.

    But it’s great to see Cole père doing well. I think I was in the hospital a couple of days longer. But now the best thing he can do, other than walking, are exercises with the invective spirometer. And DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL CLEARED TO DO SO. Trust me on this.

    one of the witnesses is awaiting execution.

    I am torn between morbid curiosity and a lifetime of being trained to Mind My Own Bidness.

    @Amir Khalid: Seconded. Also curious about the spousal unit cellphone comment. But good to know Tokyokie recovered without a hitch.

    @Yutsano: I don’t understand your comment either. What’s wrong with the bed?

    Yes, Mr. Cole you are fine. You keep on being fine through the process of healing.
    Best regards

    @Ohio Mom:
    Yutsano is in the hospital finally getting some help for his body’s decision to fall down and lay there till someone picked him up.
    Sounds like his demeanor has improved a bit.
    Healthcare will do that to a person.

    Cole especially likes whiny/complaining e-mail in ALL CAPS!
