Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Consistently wrong since 2002

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

A dilettante blog from the great progressive state of West Virginia.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

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

I did not have telepathic declassification on my 2022 bingo card.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

This really is a full service blog.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The words do not have to be perfect.

No one could have predicted…

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

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

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

    @Yutsano: It was this or send an email where every other word was fuck. I decided this was both more amusing and we needed a new open thread.

    As a Seattle-area resident, I keep hoping our next professional sports team calls itself the Sasquatches and adapts a logo like that one there.

    Is… is that you, BiloSagdiyev?

    Also, since this is an open thread, I just read a truly tragic (non-sarcastic) NYT article titled “The Three Kidnappings of N.: How Corporate Kidnapping Works.” I have no words for how scummy the mercenaries who partner with shitty parents are. Quote from the guy in the article who finally succeeded in kidnapping his daughter in Thailand and crossing the border into Laos: “I felt more at home there, or more comfortable there, because Laos had been colonized by the French, and it had done them a lot of good.” OK, if I didn’t already know which parent to trust in this story, I DEFINITELY know at that point.

    @Geoduck: That’s the original Colorado Avalanche shoulder patch/alternate logo. I liked it better than the new monotone variant of the state logo.

    @cain: That’s Ted Cassidy who played Lurch on the Addams Family. When Andre the Giant was not able to/was unwilling to reprise his role as Bigfoot on the Six Million Dollar Man, Cassidy took over the role for the two part episode Bigfoot Returns.

    I knew that face was familiar!! :-) But I mixed up the 80s shows.. although I could be forgiven for mixing them up I think! :-)

    @Doug R: But they’re in that Progressive commercial. Or maybe it’s Geico – no, they’re still doing the gecko. Pretty sure it’s Progressive.

    @Kent: That reminds me of an old New Yorker cartoon of two explorers being chased by a hungry Allosaur.  One of them says to the other “Now I know why everyone thinks they’re extinct!”

    @cain: As someone on the other thread wrote:  Everyone in the world started carrying networked cameras and like magic, all the UFOs disappeared and police brutality suddenly broke out everywhere.

    As did the Karens.

    BTW for those of you slumming in this comments section, Biden has pulled a surprise upset and taken the Democratic nomination.

    @Kent: So I have to ask*, are you saying that UFOs were preventing police brutality?

    * Ask again, since I also posted it in the other thread.

    Bigfoot gets around. Not just Progressive Insurance ads but several Jack Links Jerky commercials. We still love the old ‘herding cats’ ad from EDS, where I worked in DC.

    @Ken: I don’t know which company makes the ad, but the one where the young couple buys a house with an aunt problem. As somebody with a lot of aunts, that one hits home.
