Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

I really should read my own blog.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

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

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

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

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

You cannot shame the shameless.

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

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

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

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

He really is that stupid.

    In other Football news: Carli Lloyd scores after 24 seconds as USWNT ease past Jamaica

    Carli Lloyd scored 24 seconds into the game and the US women’s national team went on to defeat Jamaica 4-0 on Sunday night in the Summer Series.

    The US women are undefeated in 41 straight matches, the third-longest streak in team history. The team are undefeated in 55 games on American soil. Lloyd’s goal was the fastest for the Americans since Alex Morgan scored after 12 seconds against Costa Rica in 2016. Lloyd also became the oldest woman at 38 years, 332 days to score a goal for the national team. It was Lloyd’s 303rd appearance with the team.

    Three first half goals in 60 seconds ⏰

    No interest in soccer per se but for mediaheads Club de Cuervos on Netflix es muy divertido. Ditto for the mini-spinoff, The Ballad of Hugo Sánchez, although that only makes sense if one already has a few seasons of its progenitor under the belt.

    (Caveat: Don’t let the ultra raunchy opening minutes of the premiere episode of Cuervos color your opinion of the tenor of the production.)

    With my surgery tomorrow I think I’m going to be glad there is a bunch of soccer to watch.

    @debbie: That’s funny, the hospital is a block away and they are undergoing a major expansion so it may be noisy at times.  They are telling me I only need to be “flat on my back” for 24-36 hours and then, when I can walk and pee, I can go home. My buddy is flying in from Berkeley for support just like he did almost 50 years ago when I was in “hospital” in Atlanta.

    Some good matches today. Good luck, Scotland! would love to see them tied with England going into the next game.

    Robertson is one of my favorite players and I’m not just saying that as a Liverpool fan. His work rate and attitude are first class. When I played in college I wasn’t very talented or skillful so I tried to make up for it with hustle so I identify with the hard workers like him. I hope to see Scotland do well in this tourney.

    @cope:

    Robbo is one of the foundational reasons behind Liverpool’s surge from perennial top-six wannabees to the greatest attacking force in European football. He and Trent have redefined their defensive positions as creative sources every bit as important as any midfield playmaker or box-to-box specialist. Absolutely love him to bits.

    So yes, for today I’m channelling my great-great grandaddy and backing Scotland to get out of the group and show the world what they can do.

    Take it easy, pal. Nothing like a full day of football to make the hours of recovery fly by.

    Probably. 8-)

    @Tony Jay: Operation Desert Storm began a week after I came home from my hip surgery. 24×7 CNN helped pass the time, as I was basically able to walk from the recliner to the bathroom and back.

    @Tony Jay: It was. Shame about the final result, but the reaction in Ukraine is overwhelmingly positive despite that. Best game so far.

    @Gin & Tonic:

    What you need in those situations is a pillow-fort interspersed with supplies of food and drink. A bit like Renton’s cold-turkey scene from Trainspotting, only without the hallucinations and looming Begbie.

    Ukraine can feel well proud of their performance. At 2-0 down literally no one gave them a hope in hell but they scored two fantastic goals and forced the Dutch to dig really deep to rustle up that winner. Scotland could do with some of that comeback magic right now. 2-0 down after the Czechs score with a lob over the out-of-position keeper from the half way line. Ouch!

    When he’s not doing it just for the money Ewan is really good on screen. He’s got that warmth with a hint of manic that James MacEvoy shares. Maybe it’s something about being Scottish.

    Poland v Slovakia now. I bet the Anglos in the TV booth wish they could buy a couple of vowels.

    As long as there’s no BRRRRT! you’ll be fine.

    Seriously, rest up good man. Trust your surgeon.
