Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Bark louder, little dog.

A Senator Walker would also be an insult to reason, rationality, and decency.

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

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

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

This blog will pay for itself.

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

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

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

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

It’s time for the GOP to dust off that post-2012 autopsy, completely ignore it, and light the party on fire again.

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

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

Rotating Tags That Have Been Nominated

This post is in: 

It’s been awhile since I have posted all the rotating tags that have been nominated, and tonight seems as good a time as any to give you guys a look.

Rotating Tags That Have Been Nominated

If it wasn’t 91 degrees at 6pm, I might be out on the porch instead of doing this.  Nah, I would probably be doing the same thing, just out on the porch.

Cole gets to make the decision about which ones make the cut, but if there are some you really like, I’m willing to lobby for them.

Take a look.  See anything you like?

Update: Items in green got at least one vote.  A number after the tag in green indicates the number of people who said they liked that one.

    @japa21: Yeah, I thought that was a possibility.  If someone says “that should be a rotating tag, I add it to the spreadsheet.  On rare occasions someone says that, and then actually uses the form to submit it!

  34. 34.

    @WaterGirl: I can’t tell whether you’re nominating that or just making a statement.

    OT, so a question, request for advice.

    I have a relative, who …. well, when we talk, she gives me this bullshit about how she’s a victim of the “government-industrial complex”, and how she wants to punish the government for failing to function, by depriving it of her taxes (but it’s illegal, how wrong is that?)  etc, etc, etc.  Also stuff about how angry she is with the government for covid, and again, she wants to keep her taxes as a punishment.

    In the Before Time, I would have put up with it.  But I can’t do so now.  A few times, when she’s started in on that, I’ve jumped down her throat.  This last time (today) I asked her to stop three times, and each time she started back up again; so eventually I just hung up abruptly.

    I’ve suggested to her that she needs to educate herself, e.g. reading Rick Perlstein’s books, but …. well, y’know, she’s a salesman, and a very good one.  They’re often not the type to investigate the facts, since those facts usually get in the way of being sincere in their sales pitch.  So I don’t see her actually educating herself.

     

    Does anybody have any suggestions for how to get her to stop spouting this gaslighting drivel?  Because I just will NOT stand for it.  I don’t enjoy jumping down her throat (it bothers me for days afterwards), and so the only other option is to just hang up.  But that really isnt’ a good option, since I -do- need to communicate with her from time-to-time about mundane matters.

    Any advice appreciated.

    I’ve a “filtered” list, based on skipping most to do with the current resident of the White House. If (please FSM) we win, I don’t want frequent reminders of the misery on rotating tags. There’ll be plenty of those anyway. YMMV.

    So 29, 35, 78, 89, 102, 136, 143, 155, 185

    and yeah 131 –  a bit earnest for me, but yeah.

    And, sorry but 120: it’s Sméagol. And 109: no fucking apostrophe in “lets”. Sorry, I usually (always, here, afair) stifle the impulse to make spelling complaints, but in case of potential rotating tags, uh, those need to be… non-embarrassing?

  83. 83.

    WaterGirl

    @SectionH: I already fixed 120 earlier – what am I missing?

    Yeah, I would have caught let’s if/when I put it up.  You have no idea how many of them I had to fix when we set up the rotating tags for the new site.  More than a dozen, for sure.

    Incidentally, the bonus photo of the WaterGirl dogs on the porch is wonderful.  Sweet pups.

    This isn’t the whole list, is it?  I thought my suggestion of “CALVIN KLEIN ARUGULA” from July 7 would show up, at least to get brickbats.  ;-)

    Thanks for all you do.  :-)

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @WaterGirl: Nothing, I saw it, um, pre-fixed… I tend to take ages to write a post, and then usually don’t anyway. Which is a good thing all around.

    Please add 38 to my list, was reading too fast and missed it somehow. Essence of BJ, snark is

    eta: OMG, I was SO not implying any criticism of you in that bit.

    @debbie: I planted it, and the same year I planted 2 hibiscus, one on either side.

    Year two, in the fall, I cut down the hibiscus as you are supposed to do.  The following spring, I looked, and one of the hibiscus had not been cut down, but I KNEW I had done it.

    Turns out, I had cut down the rose of sharon by mistake!!!  That was a LONG several weeks while I waited to see if it would come back.  It came back with a vengeance.  Who knew?

    I never made that mistake again.  :-)

    Ooh, I think #39 is mine! But if it doesn’t make the final cut I’m okay with that.

    ==>and one more from a thread within the past week or so that said something like “in summary, whatever”–thought someone had suggested adding that to the list. I endorse it, if so.

    Thanks WG!

    Okay, now I’m really going to watch Perry Mason.  Just as I was about to shut the laptop awhile ago, I realized that I hadn’t written the introductions for tomorrow’s On The Road posts.

    I am excited.  We have nearly enough for 3 weeks of Paris After Dark, which starts on Monday night.

    Okay, goodnight for real.  Will check for any additions here in the morning.

    Haven’t read entire thread so apologies if already mentioned.

    Nitpick:

    IIRC it was the back porch through which Mr. Cole’s leg fell, not the front.

    @Chetan Murthy: This may sound stupid, but why is her complaint relevant to what you’re dealing with her about? Are you doing her taxes for her or something? What are your interactions with her about? If what you’re doing is for her benefit, can you explain to her that THAT SHIT is Not relevant, and can she just STFU? You probably already have but. Anyway, when she starts, get up and walk around. Walk out of the room, the house – escalate it until she gets the idea that THAT SHIT will not be listened to.

    If you’re just being a dutiful relative, I still think you should basically walk away. And mean it. 10 minutes or 10 years. If they’re driving you crazy, fuck ’em. (Been there, done all that shit.)

    Good luck.

    Also I must be about the only one who remembers Mr. Cole doing a post admonishing people to eschew use of the F word on the front page, so that should automatically disqualify some of them.
