Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Let there be snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

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

    NE Ohio. Planning yardwork today. That should be shoveling snow. Instead I will be weeding and raking leaves. The trees are budding. At the end of December!

    Have three stepkids. Two are sensible. The third isn’t . She is the only one who risked having kids in this world. The other two say “No way.

    ETA as a potential grandparent that is so sad. But gotta agree.

    Those stories are pretty funny. When I was a kid, my mom had to explain that the fans weren’t yelling “Boo!”, they were yelling “Moose!”. I’d never heard of Bill Skowron.

    We repeated this with our kids when Youkilis played. There’s another player in recent years that the cheers for him sound like boos, but I can’t think who that is.

    @opiejeanne:

    I am reminded of Springsteen fans shouting “Bruuuce!”

    By the way, there’s a jackal by that nym, who I haven’t seen here in a while. I hope everything’s okay with him.

    Years ago I was at a SF Giants game with my sister when Vida Blue was pitching for the SF Giants. I thought the fans were yelling booooo. I was getting pretty upset and asked my sister why are they booing him. She told me it’s not booo they were yelling it’s Bluuuuu they were yelling.

    So we are dog-sitting while my daughter and her husband visit his parents. Ask me why I’m up at this hour.

    I would certainly be confused if I thought people were screaming “white power” at an NBA  game.

    At Memorial stadium in the 1970s, you could hear Orioles fans cheering for Boog Powell: “Boooooooog!”

    @JR:

    He has had a renaissance as a role player on the Lakers. He was signed with a strict warning against any further drama and his contract is non-guaranteed.

    On a road trip in the Southwest many years ago, after noticing a sign on a country store, I went off on a soliloquy to my then-girlfriend about Chinese contributions to the settling of the Old West. The sign read:

    HU TING

    FISHING SUPPLIES

    We drove a few more miles, and she said, “You idiot. The sign was missing a letter.”
