Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

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

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Let me file that under fuck it.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

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

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

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

In after Baud. Damn.

The press swings at every pitch, we don’t have to.

    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.”
