Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

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

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

“The defense has a certain level of trust in defendant that the government does not.”

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

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

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

“woke” is the new caravan.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

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

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

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

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

The lights are all blinking red.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

It’s that time of year again…

It’s time once again to continue a tradition started by Jon Swift/Al Weisel, the “Best Posts of the Year, Chosen by the Bloggers Themselves.” Jon/Al left behind some wonderful satire, but was also a nice guy and a strong supporter of small blogs. (Here are Jon/Al’s massive 2007 and 2008 editions. Our smaller revivals from 2010 through 2018 can be found here.)

If you’d like to participate, just reply to this e-mail or write to me (Batocchio9 AT yahoo DOT com) with your best post of the year before 12/25:

Blog Name
Title of Post
Link
Author of Post
Brief Description/Pitch of the Post (1–2 sentences)

(If it’s not a reply, adding “best post” in the subject line would also help.)

To modify Jon Swift’s 2008 solicitation:

I would be very honored if you would participate and send me a link to what you think was your best post of [2019], along with a short description of it.  Please make the hard choice and send me only one link.  I would like to post it before the end of the year, so if you could get it to me before Christmas, I would really appreciate it.

One submission per blog, please, otherwise things can get messy. Group bloggers can pick a piece among themselves, but are also welcome to submit their work via their individual blogs, if they have them.

As usual, I’m aiming to find the right balance between “inclusive” and “manageable.”  If you know a few excellent blogs (preferably on the smaller side) that you suspect might not be on my radar, feel free to send me their website address (and contact info, if you have it).

Thanks,
