Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

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

A norm that restrains only one side really is not a norm – it is a trap.

There are times when telling just part of the truth is effectively a lie.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

These days, even the boring Republicans are nuts.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Decision time: keep arguing about the last election, or try to win the next one?

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

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

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

They are not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

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

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Folks, due to family emergency, nothing today. I expect I’ll be able to post Bill’s submission tomorrow. Depending on results and timing, the rest of the week is touch and go. Much like with John’s father, my father-in-law has urgent, unplanned heart (triple bypass) surgery coming the next day or two. Well wishes/prayers welcome.

    Wish only the best for your father-in-law and as a fellow by-pass patient, I understand only too well. It is a well tolerated surgery and has an extremely high success rate so don’t worry too much.

    Thanks, everybody. Looks like more tests and planning today and surgery tomorrow. He cannot wait to get onto the post-surgery recovery and getting past all this!

    @Alain: Best of luck to your FIL. I can certainly endorse his forward thinking on his upcoming surgery. That’s the best way. I can vouch for that tactic myself, albeit I wasn’t facing triple bypass surgery

    @Alain:

    Alain,

    As Cermet says above, this sort of surgery is well-tolerated and has a very high success rate today. Everyone i know who has had it comes out feeling much better in just a few days. So best of luck to your family from the Mountain State!

    @Alain: Hope everything goes well. Fortunately, these surgeries are almost “routine” and patients are in recovery and even doing light walking around fairly quickly.
