Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

White supremacy is terrorism.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

When we show up, we win.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

I’m more Christian than these people and I’m an atheist.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

    She may not like you, Cole. But I know she loves you for taking care of her. When her previous owners abandoned her, you were there. She knew at that point that you were the one for her when she leaped into your seat.

    How can she like you if you’re insufficiently submissive?  She has needs you know.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA: Once a beaver showed up at this swimming pond on an island where I used to work, and began taking down the birch trees.  No one had any idea how s/he got there (unless brought by someone?)  ave the remaining trees s/he was trapped, put in a boat and dropped off on another island …

    It’s just so weird living with a dog for ten years who doesn’t like you.

    Trust me. It’s better than living with a human who doesn’t like you.

    Does Rosie like anybody?  Have you ever seen how she is with persons she likes?

    I mean, maybe she likes you plenty, and being a bitch, so to speak, is her way of showing it.

    @CaseyL: Rosie loves John’s father, who  doesn’t approve of all the cursing on the blog, so she’s snubbing John.

    That’s an eclecric mix of pet personalities: the prim and ladylike Lily, the exuberant Thurston, the inperious Steve, and Rose who keeps to herself. I do think John Cole has the makings of a sitcom.

    They totally do not care that I am trying to clean and water the plants:

    If my felines at least stay out of the way while I’m trying to get shit done, I call that a win.

    I see part of Rosie.  And of course Lily and Steve.  Where are you guys seeing Thurston?

    edit: Ah, I just stumbled on the first pet pic post that John wrote. Mystery solved.

    @?BillinGlendaleCA:  A few miles up the trail from Twin Lakes (near Bridgeport, past Mono Lake) is Barney Lake – I camped there one night, 30ish years ago at the beginning of a backpack trip. There was a beaver there plying its trade near the outlet of the lake. So that’s the closest I can come to confirmation of beavers in Owens Valley…

    @Aleta: I saw a beaver in a neighbor’s yard a few blocks over (on the creek) a few years ago.  I was astounded by how big it was.  Must have been around 60-70 pounds or so.  Big honking thing.  Just munching away on something at twilight.  Seeing them on TV it’s hard to get perspective on how big things are in real life.

    And how much bigger they were in olden times.

    Kinda like that looming willow tree…

    Cheers,
    Scott.
